Nothing can stop a man and his truck, especially the former Voice Coach.

Blake Shelton and manliness go hand-in-hand, just ask Gwen Stefani’s family.

During a November 2019 appearance on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Kelly Clarkson gathered her then-Voice co-stars — Shelton, Stefani, John Legend, and Carson Daly — for a little gab session, and Stefani had the most hilarious story to tell about her beau.

When Clarkson posed an intriguing question (Which one of them would survive best alone in the wilderness?) Stefani jumped at the opportunity to tell her story of Shelton and his uber-manliness.

“I remember the first time I went to Oklahoma with my family — we are from Anaheim [California], we’d never seen even trees before — so we were like, ‘Wow, this is crazy!’” Stefani explained. “And we’re driving and Blake’s in his truck, and there’s a tree that had been blown down on the road and Blake gets out and he’s like, ‘All right,’ and he gets in the back of the truck — he has a big chain and he pulls it out, he wraps it around the tree, and pulls.”

That’s Blake Shelton for you — if there’s anything in his way, he’s getting it out of the way with brute force. Stefani’s California-raised fam was blown away.

“My whole family’s like, ‘Oh my God! He’s a man!’” she exclaimed as Clarkson cracked up.

“Gwen knew she was in love,” Legend chimed in.

(For the record, everybody on that set revealed that Shelton would be the best person to be dropped into the wilderness alone!)

As a cowboy through and through, the most-winning Coach in The Voice’s history clearly put his ranch experience to good use that day in front of Stefani and her family.

Today, Shelton and Stefani spend most of their time living on Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch. And although it took time to appreciate the move, Stefani has eased into ranch life better than she ever expected! In a 2023 PEOPLE interview, Stefani talked about adjusting to her newfound lifestyle.

“I am not really a dirt person, a bug person, I don’t like that much humidity,” she confessed. “But you sort of get over it all because it’s so beautiful [in Oklahoma], and you kind of feel like you’re going into this vortex and it’s just different here — I guess it’s just nature, and God, is all right there.”

And when you have a burly cowboy as a husband who can move trees at will, what more could a girl ask for?
