'It's a resolution though': Blake Shelton says he's determined to 'stop drinking altogether' in 2024

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Blake Shelton is determined to cut back on his unhealthy habits in the new year. During an interview with Entertainment Tonight published Thursday, December 14, the country star, 47, shared that the New Year's resolution he hasn’t managed to stick to in previous years is curbing his drinking. 

However, he hopes to change that as Shelton firmly believes that 2024 is going to be his year. 

Blake Shelton agreed that 'cutting back has been hard'

"I haven't managed to stop drinking yet,” said Shelton, adding “Even cutting back has been hard. I mean, it's a resolution though. And I'll say it again right now — that's my New Year's resolution. To either cut back or stop drinking altogether. Let's just say I said it."

The former 'Voice' judge also opened up about his and his wife Gwen Stefani's plan for this New Year's Eve. He told the outlet that they're planning an early night. “If we’re at home during New Year’s Eve, we’re probably going to bed before it even happens," he said.

Stefani and Shelton tied the knot on July 3, 2021 at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch with Stefani’s three sons, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 14, and Apollo, nine, in attendance. Stefani shares her boys with her ex-husband, musician Gavin Rossdale. 

Blake Shelton on being a step-parent 

Last month the country star revealed some of the challenging aspects of being a step-parent. "I've had stepparents," Shelton said, adding "I think it's, in some ways, harder, more difficult. I try to be careful about when to step back and be smart about when to step back and just talk, but no matter what, I'm always there if I'm needed," he told TODAY.

Shelton also spoke about prioritizing his family over career last December. "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," he shared.

"Even though I'm a stepparent, I take that job very seriously. The kids see me as a very important person in their life," he continued. "[When they ask,] 'Why isn't Blake here?' I take that stuff to heart. I've made plenty of money, but you can't buy time back. I don't want any regrets," Shelton further said.
