Blake Shelton isn’t shy to compliment Gwen Stefani whenever he gets the chance. The two began dating after he broke up with wife Miranda Lambert and her marriage to Gavin Rossdale ended.

Now the singer describes her as a great person and says she has opened his eyes in many ways.

He shared on The Ellen Degeneres Show: “I love talking about Gwen, are you kidding me? It’s been just an eye opener to be with someone like her. Believe it or not … I mean, you think Gwen Stefani and No Doubt, and she is literally maybe the most normal person that I’ve ever met in my life. It’s been good for me to be with somebody that’s so grounded and just a good human being with a great heart.”

And it’s not just her personality that Blake is attracted to, as he finds her too hot for words, too. He joked: “And she’s hot. Have you seen her? I mean look at that!”

Meanwhile, Gwen – who has three children with Gavin – recently thanked Blake for “kissing her back to life” as she was honored with the Woman of the Year award at the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in October.

She explained: “A year and a half ago, I was in a pool of tears. And I was so disappointed, and I was so low, I didn’t think that there was any way I could pick myself back up. I just remembered that God gave me a gift and I just wanted to use that gift again so badly.

I just started pouring my heart into music. And music has saved my life. I’m so thankful to everyone around me who helped me this year, it was a magical time.

I want to say thank you to everyone who ever listened to my music, to my children, to my family. To Blake Shelton for kissing me back to life, thank you so much. I’m blown away.”
