“Woke up this morning to news that Blake Shelton is the Sexiest Man Alive. RIP every sexy man in the world who died in the ‘Great Sexy Plague of 2017’ overnight. You will be missed,” read one Tweet.
“Blake Shelton is sexy if you like a guy who’s always about to lean in and tell you about a hearty, healthy American dog food,” wrote another.
For Shelton’s revealing interview—including his life with Gwen Stefani—pick up the latest issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands Friday.
While the 41-year-old singer — whose album Texoma Shore hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart this week — has had to field some haters, his fans have also come out in droves to gush over his new title.

Shelton’s biggest fan Gwen Stefani also crowed about her boyfriend‘s latest accolade on social media.

The No Doubt rocker — who’s been dating Shelton for two years after falling in love on the set of The Voice — also opened up to PEOPLE exclusively about why he’s so deserving of the title.
“He’s perfect for it. Somebody that is funny and has a sense of humor is sexy — that’s the No. 1 thing. It’s interesting because I don’t think any of those things like beauty or sexy or whatever what you want to describe humans is necessarily a physical thing that people are attracted to,” said Stefani, 48. “It’s all about the heart, and he has that big ol’ gigantic heart in there, so he’s quite an attractive human. I’m not the only one that thinks it!”
