There are many special moments in Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani‘s seven-year relationship, but there’s one in particular that stands out in Gwen’s mind. 

While appearing on The Kelly Clarkson ShowGwen and host Kelly Clarkson were reminiscing on some of Gwen’s famous fashion moments, including the red gown she wore to the Vanity Fair Oscar’s afterparty in 2016.

But the dress wasn’t the only memorable aspect of the event, as it also marked Gwen’s first red carpet appearance with her now-husband. 

“That was my first public date with Blake Shelton,” Gwen confirms while looking at the throwback photo. “He never does red carpets.” 

The pop superstar took the country singer as her date to the party, where she was performing; the couple hit the town after the event. 

After dating for six years, the pair tied the knot in Oklahoma on July 3, 2021. But Gwen still has fond memories of their first official public outing. 

“That melts me when I see it because it’s such a moment for me. A good one,” she describes. 

Blake and Gwen have also reunited on the set where they met, retuning as coaches for season 22 of The Voice.
