The couple’s romance has heated up on the singing competition show. BothBlake and Gwen have sung each other praises throughout the season. The 39-year-old country star has previously said, "[Gwen] makes us all look a whole lot better on this show.”
When askedwho she will miss the most, the mom-of-two coyly said, “Iwonder.” Gwen continued, “It’s the combination, the chemistry. I am already sodevastated that I think I only have like three more looks to do, like three moreoutfits and that I’m not going to be around these guys. It’s hurting me.”

The country crooner isn’t the only judge who is sad to see the “Used toLove You” singer go. Having Gwen on the show this season has been a highlight for fellow judge Adam Levine. “I think Gwen has been a stand-out moment,” he said.“Somehow, when Gwen walks in the room, we all look like we've been wearing thesame outfit for 10 years.”
