Blake Shelton Feels “Happy and Content” in L.A. With Girlfriend Gwen Stefani, But the Second She Is Gone, “It’s Miserable”

With a population of just more than 3,000 people, the small town of Tishomingo, Okla., is a “comfortable” spot for Blake Shelton to hang his hat when he’s not making the media rounds, attending awards shows or filming The Voice.

But since 2011—and for 13 seasons—Blake has had to call Los Angeles home for part of the year while he fulfills his duties as a coach on The Voice.

The Oklahoma crooner told Kix Brooks on American Country Countdown that as long as he’s in L.A. with girlfriend Gwen Stefani, he’s “happy and content.” The second Gwen has to leave L.A., the city of 4 million people becomes “miserable” for Blake.

He’s just not a city boy.

“As long as I’m [in Los Angeles] with Gwen, I feel comfortable and I feel happy and content, but the second I’m there and she’s gone working or something, it’s miserable,” said Blake. “And it’s not a reflection of people there, it’s just the fact that it’s a city. And I don’t feel any different about that as I would New York or Chicago or St. Louis or Dallas. It’s just a city, for me, is just I feel trapped a little bit. And like you, I like to be able to walk outside and burn something . . . I just feel a little bit like I’m in detention, you know, when I’m in a city somewhere, like I got in trouble for something.”

Below, watch Blake and Kix talk about living in L.A. and more.
