Blake Shelton shares key to happiness with Gwen Stefani ahead of 10-year anniversary
As Blake Shelton prepares to release his new album For Recreational Use Only on May 9, the country star is also celebrating a major milestone: 10 years together with wife Gwen Stefani.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Shelton opened up about their relationship, collaboration, and the secret behind their lasting happiness.
'It honestly does feel like time is flying,' said Shelton, 48. 'We're at the point where we say, 'Remember when...' and realize it was eight years ago. It's crazy.'
Despite their long relationship, Shelton says it still feels fresh. 'It feels just as exciting and new and happy as it did early on,' he shared. 'I feel like that might be the key to happiness.'
The couple, who met on The Voice in 2015, teamed up for a new duet, 'Hangin' On,' featured on Shelton's upcoming album. Though only one track made the cut, Shelton revealed they recorded two duets and plan to save the second for a future project.
'Gwen is way more particular when it comes to a lyric,' he said, adding that recording with her is both a challenge and a joy. 'We live together, so we sing around the house and prep long before we get to the studio.'
As fans await Shelton's new music, his reflections offer a heartfelt glimpse into a decade-long love story that continues to inspire — both on and off stage.

F1 director explains why Simone Ashley's role was cut from final version of Brad Pitt film
Simone Ashley's role in the upcoming racing drama F1 has been largely removed from the final version of the film, which premieres in theaters on June 27. Although her casting alongside Brad Pitt and Damson Idris was announced in July 2024 and she was photographed filming, the Bridgerton star's appearance in the movie is minimal—with no dialogue. Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, director Joseph Kosinski explained the decision, noting that 'two or three storylines' didn't make it into the final cut. 'It happens on every film, where you have to shoot more than you can use,' Kosinski said. Still, he praised Ashley as 'an incredible talent' and expressed interest in working with her again. Ashley has not publicly commented on the edit, but in a recent interview with ELLE, she called the filming experience 'crazy' and said, 'I have a very small part, but I'm grateful to be in that movie.' She also recalled attending multiple Grands Prix and described the adrenaline-filled set: 'Sometimes we literally had one take for certain shots… It was kind of like theater. It felt so live.' In an earlier interview with Who What Wear, Ashley shared that she had met for the film before Bridgerton even aired. 'It's Damson and Brad's movie,' she said. 'I'm just so grateful that I can be part of it.' F1—also starring Kerry Condon, Tobias Menzies, Kim Bodnia, and Javier Bardem—is scheduled for theatrical release and IMAX on June 27, 2025.

Demi Lovato recreates Kim Kardashian lost earring scene during honeymoon with husband Jutes
Demi Lovato paid tribute to one of reality TV's most memorable moments while honeymooning with her new husband, Jordan 'Jutes' Lutes. The singer posted an Instagram reel on June 16, 2025, in which the couple reenacted the viral 2011 Keeping Up with the Kardashians scene where Kim Kardashian loses a diamond earring in the ocean. Using original audio from the iconic episode, Lovato, 32, lip-synced Kardashian's panicked lines while standing in the ocean in a cut-out swimsuit: 'My earring's gone! Oh my God, I'm gonna cry.' Jutes, 34, played the part of Kourtney Kardashian, calmly replying with the now-famous line, 'Kim, there's people that are dying.' The reel ends with Lovato walking out of the water as Jutes delivers the closing remark, perfectly mimicking the tone of the original scene. Lovato captioned the reel with a playful, 'We had to.' The clip quickly drew laughs and praise from fans in the comment section for its spot-on impersonations. The newlyweds filmed the lighthearted moment during their honeymoon following their May 25 wedding in Santa Barbara, California. She also posted a 'Honeymoon dump' on Instagram, filled with snapshots of jet-ski rides, romantic dinners, and sun-soaked beach moments. Lovato and Jutes first met in 2022 while working on her album Holy Fvck. A source told PEOPLE that Lovato is now 'very healthy both physically and mentally' after years of personal challenges, adding, 'It's wonderful that it's all behind her.' The recreated scene references the KUWTK episode 'Getting to Know You,' where Kardashian lost her earring in Bora Bora—a moment that has since become a lasting meme

Rachel Zoe joins Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 15 in Bravo return
Rachel Zoe is returning to reality television as a new cast member on season 15 of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH), PEOPLE confirmed on June 6, 2025. The 53-year-old fashion icon shared the news on Instagram, expressing her enthusiasm about reuniting with the Bravo network. "Here we go again @bravotv !!!✨ I am officially joining #TheRealHousewivesofBeverlyHills and back with my Bravo family. Let's do this!" she wrote. In an accompanying video, Zoe explained her decision: 'When the stars align or it makes sense or I have enough to say... now is the time.' Zoe rose to prominence on Bravo's The Rachel Zoe Project, which aired from 2008 to 2013 and followed her life as a celebrity stylist and fashion designer. Since then, she has remained active in the fashion and lifestyle space through her newsletter The Zoe Report, launched in 2009. Amid these personal and professional developments, Zoe also recently experienced a significant life change. In 2024, she and husband Rodger Berman ended their 26-year marriage after 33 years together. The former couple, who share sons Skyler and Kaius, issued a joint statement on Instagram, emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting and continuing to collaborate on their shared business ventures. The RHOBH cast is also undergoing changes. Zoe's casting comes on the heels of Garcelle Beauvais' departure after five seasons. Beauvais said she was stepping away to focus on her family and pursue new creative projects. Bravo has yet to confirm which other cast members will return for season 15. Zoe's return is a notable moment for longtime Bravo fans, bringing her signature fashion-forward persona back to the network. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills airs on Bravo and is available for streaming on Peacock.
