During an appearance on "The Kelly Clarkson Show" last year, Stefani gushed about how Shelton, who is from Oklahoma, impressed her parents, who hail from California.

"We're, like, driving, and Blake's in his truck and there's a tree that had, like, been blown down in the road," she said.

"And Blake gets out, and he's like, 'All right'. And he gets in the back of the truck. He has, like, a big chain and he pulls it out. He wraps it around the tree, and my whole family is, like, 'Oh my God, he's a man!'"
