Who's This Guy Gwen Stefani Was Kissing? It's Not Blake Shelton!

Gwen Stefani was spotted kissing a man who isn’t her boyfriend, Blake Shelton, in a series of behind-the-scene videos of her Las Vegas show “Just A Girl.” The 49-year-old singer-songwriter uploaded Instagram stories over the weekend, and fans noticed that she was fake kissing another guy.

Said man has been identified as Stephen Bradley, a musician whom Stefani has known for over 20 years, per Talent Recap. In fact, Bradley had provided the rock band No Doubt’s backup vocals, keyboard and trumpet. In a 2016 interview with All Music Access, he said that he was 23 years old when he started playing for the band.

“...I started touring with No Doubt so many years ago,” stated Bradley. “I was 23 then and I suppose those formative years made an impact on my life. I knew then that music and that lifestyle was meant for me.”

In 1997, he came into view in Green Day’s “Nimrod” album. And in 2006, he made an appearance in Stefani’s “The Sweet Escape” solo album. The 46-year-old trumpet icon also released his own EP titled “Runaways” back in 2015.

In 2016, the “Hollaback Girl” artist even had her Seattle show crowd sing “Happy Birthday” for him, after having hopped onto his back. “I just want to let everybody here know, and everybody on the internet know, that I fucking love Mr. Stephen Bradley with all of my heart,” said Stefani. “He’s so talented, he’s so sexy, he’s so beautiful — his inside and his outside, and his dreadlocks, and his jokes,” she added.

Just in March this year, he sang and danced alongside Stefani and even took to Instagram to upload a video of them, which was captioned “Get ur freak on.” With the two clearly being very good friends and maintaining a close relationship, it’s no doubt that Bradley is also friends with Stefani’s boyfriend.

On June 19, which was only a month ago as of this article’s writing, he posted a photo of him and Shelton sans Stefani on the same social media platform. “Tequila time with Mr. Blake Shelton. #gwenstefanitour #tequila #ruhroh #drinkingbuddies,” read the post.

On a tangent, Stefani has been tapped to take Adam Levine’s place in NBC’s “The Voice” Season 17. She and Shelton are set to return as coaches when it premieres on Sept. 23.
