One 'The Voice' Judge Is Not Returning
Gwen Stefani is not returning to her red chair this season. According to the singer, who has been a coach on the show for five seasons, the filming of the 19th season of "The Voice" during the COVID-19 pandemic still felt "natural" and "personal" despite the restrictions (per Today).
"It was not as weird as I thought. I think everybody felt even more grateful to be there because we felt special that we could work," she added.
Her fans will miss her on "The Voice," but she won't be out of the limelight just yet because people are still buzzing over her engagement to boyfriend of five years and former co-judge Blake Shelton.
They first met on the seventh season of the show and started dating by the ninth season.
