00:00 "Blake Shelton quitting The Voice was a huge family choice," Gwen Stefani says.

00:04 NBC's The Voice season 24 premiered with four new coaches and fans, including the writers

00:09 at Shogus Cheat Sheet.

00:11 Can't wait to see the new dynamic.

00:12 We'd seen Blake Shelton dominate The Voice for years and we're already missing his

00:16 presence on the show.

00:18 As for his wife and fellow coach, Gwen Stefani, she reflected on the huge family choice involved

00:23 in Shelton leaving the series behind.

00:25 Gwen Stefani reflects on Blake Shelton's choice to quit The Voice.

00:28 Tears were shed when Blake Shelton quit The Voice ahead of season 24.

00:33 While Reba McEntire, the country queen, took his place, we already miss the banter Shelton

00:37 had between the other coaches.

00:39 But Shelton has other projects and life goals he can accomplish now that The Voice isn't

00:43 taking all his time.

00:44 His wife, Gwen Stefani, reflected on Shelton's choice to quit and how the whole family was

00:49 involved.

00:50 She admitted to People that it was a huge family choice for Shelton to take a step back.

00:53 "I am happy for him because he has space to do all these other hobbies and things he

00:57 wants to do," she continued.

00:59 Stefani spoke to Extra in 2022 about Shelton's life-changing decision.

01:03 She also mentioned that her husband wants more time to complete his projects.

01:07 "I think that Blake, I don't know, I think he just wants more time, you know what I mean,"

01:12 she explained.

01:13 "I don't know that people realize, if he's doing two seasons a year, right?

01:16 In between that, he's touring.

01:18 So he actually has two teams at the same time at a certain point, so they overlap.

01:22 So it's a lot of brain power, it's a lot of time away from the family, those kinds

01:25 of things."

01:26 Gwen Stefani wasn't sure about joining The Voice Season 24 without her husband.

01:31 Fans are excited to see Gwen Stefani join The Voice Season 24 as a coach, myself included.

01:36 Stefani brings a level of knowledge and expertise of the industry that some of the greener judges

01:40 don't, as she's been around since the 90s, but she wasn't so sure about joining

01:44 The Voice without Blake Shelton by her side.

01:46 "I was really weirded out like, 'What's it going to be like without Blake?'" she

01:50 told People.

01:51 "But we are having so much fun.

01:52 At the end of the day, coaching these humans who are so gifted, I love it."

01:56 Stefani is still working on finding a work-life balance amongst hectic scheduling.

02:00 "It's literally schedule, schedule, schedule, but there is a balance," she added.

02:04 "For me, the only way that I've gotten this far is with my spiritual faith and being

02:08 able to take time out to pray.

02:10 You see the miracles, and that's inspiration and fuel to keep it going."

02:14 What is Blake Shelton doing now?

02:15 He's gearing up for Barmageddon Season 2.

02:18 Blake Shelton might not be coaching in The Voice Season 24, but he has other projects

02:23 lined up.

02:24 Along with making music, he's bringing back Barmageddon for Season 2 on the USA Network.

02:28 Barmageddon features two celebrities per episode playing games in a national bar, and hilarity

02:33 and chaos will certainly ensue in Season 2.

02:36 The first episode of Season 2 features Kelly Clarkson vs. Michelle Rodriguez, and the second

02:41 episode has Gwen Stefani competing against Shelton.

02:44 Shelton explained more about the show while on Jimmy Kimmel Live!

02:47 It was actually just an idea that was born out of drinking backstage at The Voice.

02:51 The country star said, "We were actually watching, there's a show called Holy Moly,

02:55 and we were watching that one day and I said, 'Man, how much more fun would that show be

02:59 if they were drinking while they were doing it?'

03:01 Literally, that's how we thought of Barmageddon."
