Shelton wasn’t afraid to move his wife to hears with a heartfelt speech after he was pulled up on stage to give his sentiments.

“The first time that I ever met Gwen was in 2014. She wasn’t like any other famous person that I had ever met before. She drove herself to work in a black minivan with car seats in it. She didn’t roll in with security. She came in with a baby and two little boys which at the time worked like security ’cause it was chaos. It was clear to me that was a mother first and foremost over anything else in the world. That was her number one job. And now standing here, almost ten years later after I first met her, I can say without question being a mother is still the most important thing in her life,” Shelton shared.

He further said, “today, it’s nice to see her honored for her side project which is being one of the biggest stars in the world. In my opinion, Gwen is the perfect person to receive a star on the Walk of Fame. From music to television and movies to fashion and beauty. She has risen to the top over and over again with her unique style that has made people fall in love with her. Not as much as me though.”
