Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are one step closer to becoming husband and wife after the couple applied for a marriage license in Oklahoma.
No Doubt singer Stefani, 51, and country music star Shelton, 45, announced their engagement in October last year, and now the US music stars are reportedly set to tie the knot this weekend.
They applied for a marriage license this week, according to the Johnston County Court Clerk.
In the state of Oklahoma, the licence is valid for 10 days so there’s not time to waste.
Showbiz website TMZ reported Stefani and Shelton plan to marry this weekend, with Sunday being Independence Day in the US.
The smitten duo have been together for more than five years after meeting while coaches on the US version of TV talent show The Voice.
The chart-topping musicians have released several songs together, including Nobody But You, which reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 last year.
Stefani and former husband Gavin Rossdale, with whom she shares three sons, divorced in 2016.
Shelton was previously married to singer Miranda Lambert but they announced they were divorced after four years of marriage in July 2015.
In 2017, the country star was named sexiest man alive by People magazine, much to Gwen’s delight.
