Gwen Stefani tied the knot with Blake Shelton over the weekend.

They married at a Oklahoma ranch surrounded by their family and friends on Saturday, July 3, according to reports.

Whispers emerged the happy couple had applied for a wedding licence last week in the state of Oklahom where it is only valid for 10 days.

It is said Shelton built a chapel at the ranch especially to marry Stefani there, PageSix reported.

They have an incredible love story, having originally met as coaches on NBC’s The Voice.

Nearly six years have whizzed by since the couple first started dating.

Singer songwriter Stefani, 51, and country music star Shelton, 45, announced their engagement last year.

As well as being madly in love, they have worked together on a number of songs.

Their joint hits include Nobody But You which reached number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 last year.

Stefani was previously married to Gavin Rossdale but the couple divorced in 2016.

The exes share three sons Zumo, Apollo and Kingston.

While Shelton divorced singer Miranda Lambert in July 2015 after four years of marriage.

Earlier this year, the Hollaback Girl hitmaker gushed over the “romantic” way they decided they were going to get married.

“I think in a romantic way, when you fall in love so hard and so unexpectedly — and so late in your life — you think ‘I want to marry you!’ That’s the first romantic reaction, like, ‘Let’s get married,’” she told Hoda Kotb on the Today show.

“He’s so gifted and so unique and talented and he really is my best friend. I feel just so excited that I have someone in my life that now I have a chance at happiness for a long time to come and it’s just a blessing, the whole thing, and it is a miracle.”
