GWEN Stefani and Blake Shelton shared a sweet cuddle as they celebrated their win at the 2020 CMT Music Awards.
The Voice coaches looked loved-up as they toasted to their Best Collaborative Video gong for their duet, Nobody But You – amid rumors of a breakup after a “difficult” few months in quarantine.
Gwen, 51, and Blake, 44 – who started dating in 2015 – celebrated their triumph in a cute video shot at their house.
"This is absolutely unbelievable," Blake exclaimed, as Gwen asked: "What is happening with my life?"
Blake added: "I told Gwen when I saw who the other nominees were in our category, I was like, 'That would've been cool, but I don't know what our chance of beating Justin Bieber are.
"But here we are."
The country music star then thanked fans for voting, declaring: "You guys are the ones that buy the records and come to the shows, and you vote on these things so we love you so much.
"This means the world to us more than you probably imagine," he added. "This is a crazy pairing, but it's working!"
The singers then turned to each and toasted with a martini, while saying, "I love you."
Blake and Gwen were up against Carly Pearce and Lee Brice's I Hope You're Happy Now, Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber's 10,000 Hours, Kane Brown featuring Nelly's Cool Again, Marshmello and Brown's One Thing Right and Thomas Rhett featuring Jon Pardi's Beer Can't Fix.
It's their first ever joint award win – they were last nominated for a Teen Choice Award for their 2016 duet Go Ahead And Break My Heart.
Marking the milestone, Blake wrote on Instagram: "It goes without saying that this is truly a special win for not only myself but @gwenstefani!
"CONGRATS on your first @CMT Award!! And thanks to Y'ALL for voting!!!"
Gwen tweeted: “@blakeshelton i love u so much – i've learned so much from u – thank u for sharing country music w me!! gx.”
The couple's celebration comes after months of speculation that the pair have split.
Blake and Gwen have been together for almost five years, but insiders claimed recent tough times have put a strain on their romance.
In early September, a source told Us Weekly of Gwen and Blake's reported relationship woes: “They feel suffocated and stressed.
"They’re both stretched to the limit.”
