Blake Shelton, born June 18, 1976, in Ada, Oklahoma, is a country music star who made his big debut in 2001 with the hit song “Austin.” That single stayed at No. 1 for five weeks and kicked off a career full of chart-topping albums, heartfelt ballads, and cheeky anthems. With his deep voice and easygoing charm, Blake quickly became a favorite in the country world. He’s picked up plenty of awards along the way — but what really sets him apart is how relatable he’s always remained to fans.
Of course, music is just one part of his story. Blake became a familiar face on TV as a longtime coach on The Voice, where his quick wit, playful rivalry with Adam Levine, and genuine care for contestants made him a standout. Offstage, he’s just as real — a guy who loves the outdoors, jokes around easily, and found love with pop icon Gwen Stefani.
As of July 2025, Blake Shelton is 49 years old. His estimated net worth is $125 million, and he is 6 feet 5 inches (196 cm or 1.96 m) tall.

School / College / University
Blake Shelton didn’t take the traditional college route — and he never pretended to. He graduated from high school in Ada, Oklahoma, and just two weeks later, at 17 years old, he packed up and headed straight for Nashville. No dorms, no lecture halls — just a dream and a guitar. While others were figuring out majors and midterms, Blake was already chasing down record labels and writing songs that would one day top the charts.
College? Not really his thing. Music was always the plan, and he jumped in headfirst without looking back.
Religion
Blake Shelton has always carried his Christian roots with him — not loudly, but solidly. Raised with a strong sense of faith, he’s said that belief in God has shaped who he is, both on and off the stage. But it wasn’t until later in life, especially after falling in love with Gwen Stefani, that his relationship with faith deepened. Gwen, a devout Catholic, helped nudge him back into church and into something more personal, more intentional.
Race / Ethnicity
English with small amounts of Scottish, Welsh, German, Dutch, Irish, and French
Food Habits
Blake Shelton’s relationship with food has done a full 180 in recent years. He used to be all about fast food runs, late-night snacks, and comfort eating — the kind of guy who wouldn’t say no to a barbecue pork sandwich. But after deciding to take his health seriously, especially with Gwen Stefani cheering him on, he made big changes.
Now it’s more about balance: lean proteins, veggies, Greek yogurt, berries — and way less soda or booze. He swapped greasy drive-thru meals for real food and learned to love portion control (even if it’s still a work in progress). It’s not perfect — he’ll admit that — but with meal planning, herbal teas, and some serious dedication, Blake’s found a healthier groove. And yes, he still sneaks in the occasional comfort meal, because let’s be real… he’s still Blake.
Hobbies
He loves hunting, fishing, raising chickens — and just being outside, even if he jokes that he’s not exactly a pro at any of it. For him, it’s less about showing off and more about soaking up the quiet, simple moments of country life.
Lately, he’s been getting into golf too — thanks to some nudging from his friends — and he’s even posted about it, clearly enjoying the challenge (and the occasional frustration) of learning a new game. Of course, not all his hobbies line up perfectly with Gwen Stefani’s vegetarian, animal-loving lifestyle, and his hunting habit has sparked a few disagreements.

Girlfriend and Dating History
Kaynette Williams (2000–2006)
Blake Shelton and Kaynette Williams go way back — all the way to their teen years in Ada, Oklahoma. She’d just finished high school, he was just 15, and somehow, they clicked. Kaynette was more than just his girlfriend; she was his rock during those scrappy early Nashville days, even stepping in as his tour manager. After over a decade of dating, Blake proposed during a hunting trip, and the two tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in 2003 — just the two of them, an officiant, and a camera.
But as Blake’s star rose, their marriage started to crack. They divorced in 2006, only three years later. He’s since admitted that maybe the timing wasn’t right and called Kaynette his “buddy” from that chapter of life. After the split, she moved back to Oklahoma, eventually remarried, and became a schoolteacher in Kansas. It was a big love from his early years — just not one that lasted.
Miranda Lambert (2006–2015)
Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert met in 2005 while performing a duet at a CMT event — and sparks flew right away. The chemistry was undeniable, even before they officially started dating in 2006, not long after Blake’s split from his first wife. From that moment on, they were country music’s power couple — showing up on red carpets, writing songs, and living life loudly in the spotlight. Blake popped the question in 2010, and they tied the knot a year later.
But fame, busy schedules, and personal struggles took a toll. After four years of marriage — and plenty of tabloid buzz — they quietly filed for divorce in 2015. There was no dramatic public fallout, just two people who once loved each other deeply and eventually went separate ways.
Gwen Stefani (2015–Present)
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani met in 2014 on The Voice, back when both were quietly navigating the heartbreak of their own divorces. What started as friendship — two people leaning on each other during some of their toughest moments — slowly turned into something more. By late 2015, they weren’t hiding it anymore: Blake and Gwen were officially a couple, and the world couldn’t get enough.
From red carpets to chart-topping duets like “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere,” their relationship blended country grit with California glam in the most unexpected way. Blake proposed in 2020 at his Oklahoma ranch, and the two tied the knot there in a sweet, intimate ceremony in July 2021. Through it all, they’ve been each other’s calm in the storm — faith-driven, fiercely loyal, and completely in sync. For both, it’s not just love — it’s a second chance done right.
Net worth 2025
As of July 2025, it’s estimated that Blake Shelton has a net worth of about $125 million. He may come across as the laid-back country guy who loves fishing, cold beer, and cracking jokes on The Voice, but behind that easy smile is a smart businessman who’s built a serious fortune.
Let’s peel back the curtain on how he makes his money — and how much he’s actually pulling in.
1. The Voice – Where the Big Checks Come From
If you only know Blake from The Voice, you already know he was the face of the show. He stuck with it for 23 seasons, becoming a fan favorite with his Southern charm and hilarious rivalries (looking at you, Adam Levine).
But beyond the banter, The Voice was a massive paycheck.
-
Early on, he was earning around $4 million per season
-
That jumped to $13–15 million per season in later years
-
By the time he left in 2023, he’d raked in over $200 million total from the show
No touring, no late nights on a bus — just coaching talent, cracking jokes, and getting paid like a rock star.
2. Touring: $1 Million Per Night Ain’t Bad
Though Blake doesn’t tour as relentlessly as some country stars, when he does hit the road, it’s big business.
-
His concerts pull in around $1 million per show
-
The Back to the Honky Tonk Tour in 2023 was a huge success
-
Over the years, he’s made an estimated $60–70 million from touring alone
Plus, Blake keeps it casual — no over-the-top pyrotechnics or dance breaks. Just a mic, a band, and a crowd that knows every word.
3. Music Sales and Streaming Still Pay the Bills
Shelton’s been around long enough to actually sell CDs, which says a lot in today’s streaming-first world.
-
13 million albums and 52 million singles sold
-
His songs rack up millions of streams every month
-
Radio still plays him a lot, especially in the South and Midwest
In 2022, Blake sold the rights to his master recordings (from 2001 to 2019) to Influence Media Partners. The numbers weren’t public, but insiders believe it was worth between $25–50 million. He still earns from newer music and performance royalties, so the cash flow never really stopped.
4. Other TV Stuff (Because He’s Kinda Everywhere)
Outside The Voice, Blake’s been popping up on your screens for years:
-
Guest spots on UglyDolls, The Ridiculous 6, and various awards shows
-
Holiday specials and red carpet hosting gigs
-
Cameos and appearances that pull in solid five- or six-figure checks
Is it his biggest money maker? Nope. But it keeps him visible, and visibility leads to…
5. Endorsements: Blake, The Brand
If you’re a brand trying to reach everyday Americans — especially ones who shop at Walmart — Blake Shelton is gold.
Over the years, he’s lent his name (and face) to:
-
Pizza Hut (remember the Blake’s Smokehouse BBQ Pizza?)
-
Pepsi
-
Gildan Underwear
-
Smithworks Vodka, which he partially owns
-
And yes, Walmart campaigns
Altogether, endorsements have probably brought him $40–50 million over his career. The guy knows his audience, and they trust him — that’s marketing magic.
6. Ole Red: His Restaurant + Concert Venue Empire
Blake isn’t just selling records — he’s selling ribs, beers, and live music experiences at his Ole Red venues. Named after his 2002 hit, Ole Red has grown into a full-blown chain with locations in:
-
Nashville, TN
-
Tishomingo, OK (his hometown)
-
Gatlinburg, TN
-
Orlando, FL
-
And now… Las Vegas, NV
He co-owns the brand with Ryman Hospitality, and while he’s not flipping burgers, he is cashing checks. Vegas alone could bring in $10M+ per year. Add merch, ticketed shows, and celebrity appearances, and it’s one of his smartest business plays yet.
7. Merch, Licensing & Random Fun Stuff
You can’t tour or run a restaurant chain without merch — and Blake’s got plenty.
-
T-shirts, hats, shot glasses — the usual country star fare
-
Special edition vinyl records and box sets
-
Licensed gear (cowboy boots, grilling kits, etc.)
It may not be the flashiest part of his empire, but it adds up — likely $5–10 million over time.
8. Real Estate & Lifestyle
Blake isn’t flipping houses for a living, but he does have valuable property:
-
A huge ranch in Oklahoma where he and Gwen got married
-
Lakefront cabins and rural homes that have appreciated
-
A country lifestyle brand image that boosts everything else he does
He’s not trying to be a mogul — but he’s quietly living like one.
How Much Does He Make Per Year?
Blake’s income has fluctuated depending on tours and endorsement deals, but here’s a rough look:
| Year | Estimated Earnings |
|---|---|
| 2017 | $31.5 million |
| 2018 | $28 million |
| 2019–2020 | $45 million |
| 2021–2023 | $30–35 million/year |
Even after leaving The Voice, he’s still bringing in $20–25 million per year between business, music, and endorsements.
