Since making their red carpet debut in 2018 (three years before they wed in July 2021), The Voice duo have had a few red carpet date nights. Lainey Wilson, Kane Brown, Carrie Underwood and More Stars Nominated at the 2023 CMT Music Awards In October, Shelton and Stefani hit the Big Apple to celebrate the No Doubt frontwoman at the 2022 Matrix Awards, where she was honored for her trailblazing career. The "Hollaback Girl" singer opted for a hot pink floral-pattern mini dress, gold heel boots and a flirty half-up half-down hairstyle for the event while the Body Language artist chose to wear a traditional tuxedo.

"It feels exciting to be here in New York with Blake because the last couple of years, we just really don't go out very much, unless we're just at home or on the set of The Voice," Stefani told PEOPLE on the carpet. Their trip also happened to coincide with the 7-year anniversary of when they first got together. "So we went out to dinner last night, we had fancy food [and] wine, we're in a hotel room. It feels like a date night weekend for us. So a lot of reminiscing." See Blake Shelton's Cheeky Rhinestone 'Mr. Stefani' Jacket Dedicated to Wife Gwen Stefani Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton.

In a photo carousel shared to Stefani's Instagram, Shelton is seen donning a denim jacket with the name "Mr. Stefani" bedazzled in rhinestones on the back. "Someone got a new jacket, i wonder who it could be 🧐🥰 ," Stefani teased in the caption.
