Burley Garcia|Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton Introduce Adorable New Family Member With Touching Story

Hey baby kitten!

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have Burley Garciaa cute new addition to their family, and there's a heartwarming story behind their connection.

Gwen announced on Instagram Sept. 26 that she and Blake had taken in a stray kitten—that they named Corn Shelton—who wasn't in good shape when they first encountered him at their Oklahoma home.

"The day he showed up to our home, he was hardly alive + so sick," she wrote. "But with a lot of love + nurturing, he became a healthy kitten."

Gwen showed off Corn's transformation in a sweet clip set to Billie Eilish's "Birds of a Feather." In the footage, the No Doubt frontwoman cradles the frail kitten in a towel before cutting to photos of him looking much healthier.

"Here's this one," Blake can be heard saying over another video of Corn walking towards the camera, “doing incredible and getting fat."

Gwen ended her post by declaring, "We're so grateful that he’s a part of our family."

Corn joins a full house with Gwen and Blake, who—in addition to Gwen’s kids Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, whom she shares ex Gavin Rossdale—also share a dog, another cat and several farm animals on their Oklahoma property.

Blake previously opened up about being a stepfather to Gwen's children since The Voice coaches wed in 2021.

"They've taught me something about myself that I never knew: I'm more than just a country singer or a goofy guy," he told People in 2022. "I'm someone they actually lean on, and that's not a responsibility that I ever had and not something that I ever considered even being into."

He added, "It's a different kind of self-worth. Maybe it's the opposite of self-worth because you put yourself way down on the rung, and they move up ahead of you."

Gavin has also gotten real about the realities of parenting with an ex, saying that it "can go one of two ways."

"You can either do everything together and really co-parent and see how that goes, or you can just parent," he explained in 2023. "And I think we just parent."

"We're really different people," he went on. "I don't think there's much similarity in the way we bring them up but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they'd like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process."

"I think he's hot, don't you? But to be super honest, it is kind of crazy we both went through the same thing at the same time. There's been so many people that I've gotten so much comfort from. Just people coming to me and telling me their story. Not confiding, but sharing, which has just helped me see things from a different perspective and move forward." —Gwen to Ryan Seacrest in November 2015

"How can I not be [in love]? She is the greatest. She is the greatest." —Blake on Today in March 2018. 

"When you have a broken heart—at least, when I do—you got to get it out of your system. You want people to sympathize with you. I was at rock bottom, in the middle of hell...Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician?" —Blake to Billboard in July 2016

"I grew up in Orange County, so I don't know if you've been down there, but it's nothing like the middle of America and our nature was the beach. So to be able to be in Oklahoma and be able to experience a ranch kind of vibe is just something I never ever had, so it's just been really, it's been great, amazing." —Gwen on Jimmy Kimmel Live in August 2020

"You know, what? I love weddings. The kids love him. We love him. Everybody loves him. He is lovable! I think about it all the time." —Gwen to Ellen DeGeneres when discussing marrying Blake

"[My style is] more feminine than ever before. It's probably because I'm super in love and have a really manly man. I enjoy letting that part of me come out now because when I was in No Doubt, I never thought of myself as sexy. Even in my 30s, I was a tomboy. I hardly ever carried a purse." —Gwen to InStyle in July 2018

"He doesn't even like to do a photo shoot. You can never convince him to do it. So he just called me like, ‘They want me to do this.' And I was like, ‘You should totally do it! You're so sexy!'" —Gwen's reaction to Blake being named People's Sexiest Man Alive

"He's so good at the show, I mean, he's just so magical. Blake is literally a unicorn. Like anywhere he goes, people are just attracted to him, and he's such an incredible talent." —Gwen on SiriusXM's Andy Cohen Live in September 2019

"Setting here watching @gwenstefani rehearsals it continues to shock me the amount of GIANT hits this girl has written... I highly recommend y'all catch her Vegas show if you can get tickets!!!" —Blake on Twitter in June 2018
