Why did Blake Shelton leave The Voice?

Shelton was one of the original coaches on the show, but after 23 seasons, he decided to walk away.

"I've been wrestling with this for a while and I've decided that it's time for me to step away from The Voice after next season," Shelton said in an October 2022 Instagram announcement.

"It's been a hell of a ride over these 12 years of chair turns and I want to thank everyone at The Voice from NBC, every producer, the writers, musicians, crew, and catering people, you are the best.

"I have to give a huge shout to the singers—the 'Voices,' who come on this stage season after season and amaze us with their talent, and a special thanks to those who chose me to be their coach.

"Lastly, it's about y'all, the fans, who watch and support these artists, us coaches, and everyone at The Voice who are chasing our dreams. It would not happen without you!"

Shelton sat down with People and elaborated on the decision, revealing that he wanted to spend more time with his wife, Stefani, and his stepsons.

"Gwen and I have done so much traveling and touring and work the first half of our lives that now we're like, 'Hey, I'm good to put my sweatpants on at 6 pm and watch Ozark eight times,'" he told the outlet. "That's our life now, and we love it."

"If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I'm missing out on some more important things in life.

"For now, that's our kids. This isn't about me anymore and never will be again."

Stefani and Shelton met on the set of The Voice in 2014 and later tied the knot in 2021.
