Gwen Stefani has yet to adjust on "The Voice" after her husband, Blake Shelton, left his post.
Shelton officially bid goodbye from "The Voice" family after serving as a judge for over 20 seasons. He started appearing on the talent competition show in Season 1 in 2011 alongside Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green.
Reba McEntire took his spot afterward, but Stefani still feels weird seeing someone else in Shelton's chair.

The new season of "The Voice" premiered in September and welcomed McEntire to the panel.
In a new interview with Entertainment Tonight, the "What You Waiting For?" singer opened up about Shelton being a huge part of the show so it feels "weird" to return to their seats without him.
"It feels kind of like [my] first season, before I knew he existed," she continued. "It's kind of weird, but it's also like, I'm having so much fun."
Although she feels that way, Stefani clarified that her husband would not return to "The Voice" after he left and that it took her a long time to accept it.
A previous report said Stefani reportedly made it clear that McEntire "falls in line" so she could have the spotlight on the show since she expected to have it after Shelton left.
A source added that Shelton begged her to be nice since he has been good friends with McEntire.

National Enquirer (via OK! Magazine) previously cited a source who claimed that Stefani and McEntire are not on the best terms.
"Reba has a very outgoing personality and can suck the air out of a room. Gwen doesn't feel like she has a chance to shine the way she wants," the insider said. "They taped the blind auditions and battle rounds in July, and you could tell Gwen was less than thrilled playing second fiddle to Reba."
Stefani also reportedly wanted her fans to see more of her life through a reality show - but Shelton did not want it.
After leaving "The Voice," Shelton has been spending more time at his ranch. He clarified that he does not have plans to retire even after leaving the show.
