More on Their First Interactions
According to Shelton, the two didn’t really know much about each other until Gwen heard about his divorce. He looked over at her and she had tears in his eyes and while he expected it to be another “Things are going to be okay” talk, Gwen just told him that she was going through something similar and completely understands where he’s coming from.
After all, both their stories were extremely similar – married to other musicians followed by a high-profile divorce. They were each other’s shoulders to cry on and that’s a strong foundation to build a relationship on. Not surprisingly, their friendship quickly blossomed into romance.
