Gwen Stefani Tears Up During Blake Shelton's Speech at Her Walk of Fame Star Ceremony: 'My Best Friend'

"Her unique style has made the world fall in love with her — not as much as me though," Shelton said at Stefani's star ceremony

Gwen Stefani has earned her star!

The singer and The Voice coach, 54, was honored with a Hollywood Walk of Fame star on Thursday at a ceremony with loved ones by her side.

Blake Shelton, Jimmy Iovine and Irving Azoff each gave speeches at the event — but it was husband Shelton's that caused the "Hollaback Girl" singer to grow emotional.

"She wasn't like any other famous person I had ever met before," Shelton, 47, said of meeting his now-wife in 2014. "It was clear to me that she was a mother first and foremost before anything else in the world. That was her No. 1 job."

The "God's Country" singer went on to call Stefani "one of the greatest stars in the world," paying tribute to her career — and her unique qualities.

"In my opinion, Gwen is the perfect person to receive a star on the walk of fame. From music, television and movies to fashion and beauty. She was risen to the top over and over again with her unique style that has made the world fall in love with her — not as much as me though."

He continued, "And then there's that one thing that no one could ever explain. It's that thing that she was born with that will make you stop and go, 'Wait. Who is that? What's her name? What does she do? Why do I love her already? What the hell?' That's the thing that God gives you and without question, God gave Gwen an extra scoop of it."

"You deserve this and I love you," he said to conclude his speech, before leaning over and giving her a big hug.

After she heard from all of her speakers, Stefani took the stage and reflected on the trajectory of her career. She also thanked Azoff for encouraging her to work on The Voice, where she met her husband.

"If I didn't have The Voice and I didn't have Irving I wouldn't have met my best friend, my husband Blake Shelton," the "Sweet Escape" singer said. "I love you so much. You have given me the kind of love I never knew before. The minute I met you I knew I was home and I'm so so proud that you're mine. I can't believe it."

Speaking to PEOPLE, Stefani opened up about the "surreal" feeling of earning her very own star with her loved ones by her side.

"It's such a weird and iconic thing that you always know about your whole life, but to be part of that [and] to be cemented in that is just like, 'What?'" Stefani tells PEOPLE exclusively. "It's impossible to actually take it in. I just feel so lucky to be able to be a songwriter and write music and have songs that actually help me with my life and I guess help other people at the same time. Like an exchange of love. All these years of being able to do that is surreal."

Shelton received his star in May and Stefani delivered a heartfelt speech for her husband, calling him "my dream come true."

Stefani recently opened up to PEOPLE about her relationship with Shelton, whom she met on The Voice in 2014.

"I didn't see any of this coming with Blake. This was just a big old 'What?'” she said, referring to their low-key life living near Tishomingo, Oklahoma together. “It was an amazing gift to experience love like that for the first time.”

"He's changed my life ... when I [started dating] Blake, that's when I felt home, like, 'Oh, this is where I'm supposed to be, with this guy," she shared.
