During awide-ranging interviewin February at this year’s Country Radio Seminar in Nashville, Shelton opened up about his life as a stepdad to Stefani’s three sons and why he was “all about signing up” for the rewarding role.
“I think Gwen thought when we first started seeing each other that it was just gonna be a moment in time because of that,” he said, alluding to her concern about whether he would want her sons in his life.
“He took Richie on and raised him from the time he was 1 year old, and my brother never thought of my dad as anything other than his dad,” said Shelton, wholost his brother, age 24 at the time, in a car accident in 1990.
“The example that my dad set for me was that [child] was not even a consideration [in a romantic partnership]. You got three boys? Awesome! My dad did it. My dad raised me. I could do this. I didn’t know what I was signing up for, but I was all about signing up for it,” Shelton continued. “And every day I’ve fallen in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.”
