Shelton and Stefani have been candid about wanting to have more children over the years, but age and work obligations presented major challenges. Shelton has devotedly accepted his role as a stepfather, while Stefani, who turned 55 in October 2024, has three children from her previous marriage. Shelton highlighted their mutual love of family in a 2023 interview with Access, calling Stefani his \u201cbest friend.\u201d He added, \u201cWe have so much fun together, whether we\u2019re having a cup of coffee in the morning or performing in an arena somewhere.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shelton\u2019s desire to be a father from the start has been widely known, despite their contentment as a blended family. \u201cGwen\u2019s boys have their own dad, but Blake loves them so much,\u201d a source told Brigada News Philippines in December 2024. \u201cHis friends worry that he\u2019s unhappy because he never got to do the baby thing.\u201d The couple looked into surrogacy as a possibility, and they approached the procedure with caution and faith. In April 2024, a source told Life &amp; Style, \u201cThey both want to connect with the surrogate, because obviously there\u2019s a lot at stake.\u201d \u201cThey just want to get it right, and it\u2019s a huge commitment.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-7\"><\/div>\n<p>Their perseverance paid off, and the couple is starting a new chapter with Harmony Iris\u2019s arrival. Shelton can be heard saying, \u201cShe\u2019s our little harmony,\u201d in the announcement video while looking at the infant with a tenderness that has won over fans\u2019 hearts. For her part, Stefani has always talked about how much she loves being a mother. \u201cI waited my whole life to be a mom,\u201d she said in a 2024 episode of The Skinny Confidential Him &amp; Her podcast, reflecting on her experience as a mother.
