Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani finally got engaged back in October after five years of dating. In a new interview this week, Shelton finally revealed when he and Stefani plan to get married.

Shelton joined Hoda Kotb as a surprise co-host on NBC News’ “Today With Hoda & Jenna” on Wednesday morning, and while he was there, he revealed that he and Stefani are hoping to tie the knot “this summer.”

“With COVID-19, it looks like it may be OK, but I don’t know. So, that’s tentatively the plan. We’ll see,” he said as he appeared remotely from Stefani’s home in Los Angeles. “I’m afraid if she and I wait until next November, then I’m right back into ‘The Voice’ cycle again. And I really want to be able to have plenty of time before and after.”

Though both Miley Cyrus and Adam Levine have expressed hopes to perform at the wedding, Shelton said that this is still up in the air.

“You know, it’s starting to sound like a Coachella lineup here all of a sudden. I’ve got all these superstars saying they’re going to do it,” Shelton said jokingly. “I hope so, I don’t know. I’m telling you, I’m not just saying this because it’s the line, it’s — we really don’t know.”

“I’d love to be able to take everybody up on their offer and have this amazing concert wedding,” he continued. “But we’re just waiting every day, just like everybody else, to see what our summer is going to look like and then go from there.”

The country music star went on to admit that he “absolutely” pictures himself living a simpler life with his fiancée someday, out of the spotlight.

“I hope that’s not too far down the road. Ten years sounds like way too long to me,” Shelton said. “I’d like to see that sooner than later. I mean, we’ve both pretty much taken it to the limit as far as our careers go, and touring and now the television thing. It’s been fortunate to accomplish a lot of things, but hopefully at some point we’ll get a chance to live some life. And I think we’re both ready for that, honestly.”

“The older I get, the more I kind of feel like I’m starting to turn into a little bit of a hermit,” he added. “You know, and just kind of passing on things.”
