00:00 Blake Shelton feels a different kind of self-worth around Gwen Stefani and step-sons.
00:05 "Even though I'm a step-parent, I take that job very seriously.
00:10 The kids see me as a very important person in their life," the country singer said.
00:15 Blake Shelton is the latest People cover star, and the country crooner opened up about stepping
00:21 back in his career to focus on time with his family, which includes wife Gwen Stefani and
00:26 step-sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
00:29 "They've taught me something about myself that I never knew, I'm more than just a country
00:34 singer or a goofy guy.
00:36 I'm someone they actually lean on, and that's not a responsibility that I ever had and not
00:41 something that I ever considered even being into," he said of his family, noting that
00:46 he feels a different kind of self-worth around them.
00:49 "Maybe it's the opposite of self-worth because you put yourself way down on the rung, and
00:55 they move up ahead of you."
00:57 Stefani shares Kingston, Zuma and Apollo with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale.
01:02 The former couple were married for 13 years, and dated for nearly six years before that,
01:08 but parted ways in 2015.
01:11 Shelton and Stefani tied the knot in 2021, and have been going strong ever since.
01:17 "Gwen and I have done so much traveling and touring and work the first half of our lives
01:22 that now we're like, 'Hey, I'm good to put my sweatpants on at 6 p.m. and watch those
01:27 arcade times,'" Shelton said.
01:29 "That's our life now, and we love it."
01:32 "Even though I'm a step-parent, I take that job very seriously.
01:37 The kids see me as a very important person in their life," the "Boys 'Round Here" singer
01:42 added.
01:43 "When they ask, 'Why isn't Blake here?'
01:46 I take that stuff to heart.
01:48 I've made plenty of money, but you can't buy time back.
01:51 I don't want any regrets."
01:54 In October, Shelton revealed that after next season, he will be returning to the show.
01:57 "I'm going to be back.
