For this season of "The Voice," things are completely different from what it used to be as Blake Shelton isn't a part of the judging panel anymore. After spending years on the show, the musician decided to take a break and focus on his family life, he was replaced by another country legend Reba McEntire.

However, his wife seems to be having a hard time without her love by her side on the show as it was the same program where they interacted until romance swirled around the air.

In an interview with the "Today" show before the 24th season of the NBC reality singing competition show airs, Stefani said "it's really different being on the show without him."

"I miss him so bad on the show," she added. (via Taste of Country)

Although it feels different without her husband on the program, Stefani noted that it hasn't been as hard as she thought it was going to be because the country star was so ready to step back and relax from all the work to focus on his family which was a factor why there was a weight on her shoulder.

But on the other hand, she still loves to be a part of the show.
