According to reports, the country singer popped the question in a traditional way as he went down on one knee and asked Stefani to marry him with a custom $500,000 diamond ring. The "God's Country" crooner also asked Stefani's father for her hand in marriage before the proposal.
An insider noted that the "Hollaback" singer was touched that her fiance went the traditional way and included her three sons, Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6, in all of the plans.
A source told ET Online that it was easy for the nine-time Grammy Award nominee to get the boys on board as he has a good relationship with them. The insider said:
"Blake is very close to Gwen's boys. They talked it through, and Blake made sure they were part of the excitement!"
