Gwen Stefani reveals the reason why she and husband Blake Shelton won’t spend New Year’s Eve together

Gwen Stefani has revealed she will be celebrating New Year’s Eve alone in 2024.

The 54-year-old singer-songwriter shared it with Access to Hollywood earlier this week that she and her husband Blake Shelton, 47, would be holding their own separate festivities over the holiday.

But she says their celebrations across the country are due to their busy work schedules.

Gwen said she originally planned to spend New Year’s Eve with Blake, but an offer she couldn’t refuse threw their plans for that evening into disarray.

“Well, it’s funny because I was supposed to be at his show, and then Vegas called and wanted me to be in Vegas,” she explained.

Gwen told Access Hollywood that she will perform in Las Vegas while Blake stays closer to home and performs at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash; seen in Hollywood in 2022

While she will now surprise her fans in Las Vegas, Blake will be performing across the country at New Year’s Eve Live: Nashville’s Big Bash in Tennessee.

Gwen’s choice to fly to Nevada for a performance of her own was surprising, as she had sworn off Sin City after a bad experience.

But since her husband would be busy for much of the evening, she figured she might as well perform her own music.

“Last year I did Vegas and I was like, ‘Remind me never to do Vegas again.’ [But] sometimes you…don’t want to be the host,” she admitted. ‘So I thought, “Eh, I’m going to do it.” If you go to work, I’ll go to work – so I’ll just fly back and forth, it’ll be great. I’m really looking forward to it.’

Her Vegas show could help her get back in the mood to record new music, as she revealed her New Year’s resolution is to “put out a record.”

Gwen also wanted to focus on her health and become more “consistent” in taking care of herself.

She also had Blake in mind with another resolve to continue loving him more than ever.

The lovebirds have been married since 2021, but their relationship started in 2015, so they’ve had plenty of time to get comfortable with a day apart.

The future spouses met that year when Gwen was a judge on the reality competition series The Voice, after Blake had been on the series since its premiere.

The two quickly hit it off, bonding early in their tenure after both divorced their spouses that year.

Blake announced a divorce from his wife Miranda Lambert, whom he married in 2011, and it was later finalized in 2015.

“Last year I did Vegas and I was like, ‘Remind me never to do Vegas again.’ [But] sometimes you…don’t want to be the host,” Gwen admitted. She added that she might as well do her own show if Blake was working on NYE

The No Doubt singer added that her 2024 resolutions included “releasing a record,” being “more consistent” in taking care of her health and “continuing to love Blake” more than ever.

In a 2016 interview with Howard Stern, Gwen said she was moved after Blake revealed his divorce to his co-stars, and she confessed to him that she had spilled from her husband Gavin Rossdale around the same time, although their divorce would not be finalized. until next year.

She and the Bush singer had been married since 2002 and share three children: Kingston, 17; Zuma, 14; and Apollo, nine.

In September, Gwen spoke to People about the impact her romance with Blake had had on her: “He changed my life.”

‘When I [started dating] Blake, that’s when I felt at home, like, “Oh, this is where I need to be, with this guy.”
