Blake Shelton Unleashed His True Thoughts on Snubbing Friends Like Adam Levine at His Wedding

Though Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani reportedly didn't invite former Voice coach Adam Levine to their wedding on July 3, they apparently don't feel too bad about it. At least, Blake certainly doesn't.

While stopping by SiriusXM's The Storme Warren Show this week, Blake wasted no time explaining why a lot of his friends, including the Maroon 5 frontman, ultimately didn't make the wedding guest list. By the sound of things, it was nothing personal and all came down to a matter of keeping the nuptials super intimate.

"So I've had awkward conversations with, with so many of my friends since it's ‘Oh, oh yeah. I read y'all. Yeah, I read about that. How was that?’" Blake explained. "You know, I was like, ‘Listen, you know, we kept it small, get over it, you know, it's not about you.'"

I mean, Blake is right — it was their day, after all. But with Adam in particular, the snub was especially surprising considering Blake and Adam's long history on The Voice together. What's more, the "Honey Bee" singer even declared back in December on Late Night with Seth Meyers that he wanted Adam to perform for their big day.

That said, it sounds like Adam didn't think Blake's request was genuine. After he heard about Blake's ask, the former Voice coach joked on SiriusXM's "The Morning Mash Up" that he wouldn't play for Blake and Gwen. Still, the performer made it sound like he was attending the wedding when he visited The Ellen DeGeneres Show back in April.

So what happened between April and July? In the end, only Blake, Gwen and Adam know the real story. What's most important, though, is that the wedding turned out to be just what Gwen and Blake wanted: The intimate ceremony took place in a chapel the country singer built himself on his Oklahoma ranch, and Voice host and Today show star Carson Daly, who happens to be a dear friend of the couple, officiated the nuptials.

As for Adam, Page Six reported that at the time of the wedding he was in Miami with his wife, Behati Prinsloo, and their daughters Dusty Rose and Gio Grace.
