It’s fascinating how life’s twists and turns can lead to unexpected and beautiful outcomes.

“The first season she was on The Voice we met [but] we really didn’t talk that much,” he revealed.

Blake further confessed: “If you would’ve told me the first season that we met that what was gonna happen, I would’ve been like, ‘No, we actually don’t even have anything to even talk about. What are you talking about?'” but endearingly added: “It’s crazy how things work out.”

“I miss the people. I mean, those people became like family to me, literally from the crew all up to the producers of the show. I was with them more than I was with my family… I miss that,” he admitted, however said that the job itself, that he doesn’t miss.

He explained: “I totally needed a break from that, because if I wasn’t into it then it wasn’t good for whoever was on my team. I don’t want to be someone who’s just going through the motions. Those artists need somebody fighting for them.”

“The second I started feeling like, ‘Oh my gosh, I don’t even remember what season this is anymore. Who are the coaches on this season?’ [I knew that] I needed [to get] away from here.”

It would undoubtedly be a treat for fans to see the original foursome back together for a special season.
