Shelton seems to have a great relationship with his stepsons. He told PEOPLE in Dec. 2022, “Even though I’m a stepparent, I take that job very seriously. The kids see me as a very important person in their life.”

“[When they ask], ‘Why isn’t Blake here?’ I take that stuff to heart,” he went on. “I’ve made plenty of money, but you can’t buy time back. I don’t want any regrets.”

“If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I’m missing out on some more important things in life. For now, that’s our kids,” Shelton PEOPLE. “This isn’t about me anymore and never will be again.”
