Posting from Blake’s Lake Texoma, Oklahoma property, Gwen showed how she and her country singer husband get their turkey ready. Fans saw the huge raw bird, plus a bag of Funyuns going into the mix.
Gwen was seen explaining where the onion ring snack idea came from. It was son Apollo’s idea. “Apollo, what’s happening? Explain how you thought of this idea,” Gwen stated, with Apollo saying “because everyone loves Funyuns in this family.”
Footage also showed vegetables being boiled, plus the turkey itself being cooked. Crooner Blake even had a sneaky taste ahead of the couple’s Thanksgiving dinner. In a caption, 54-year-old Gwen wrote: “Thanksgiving part 2:) from our family 2 yours, happy Thanksgiving !! 🍁🤎 gx.”
Finally, A ‘Normal’ Celebrity Couple!
Fans went wild. “I love that you both love to cook,” one user replied. “You actually have some normal. Thank you for sharing,” another said. Fans had even seen Blake sneaking in some potato chips into the turkey for even more of a snack-y finish.
The Funyuns inclusion also brought out users sharing their own, unusual Thanksgiving recipes.
“I love seeing you guys together and it’s so nice to see that you’re enjoying Thanksgiving the same as we are. I’m going to try the crushed Funyuns on our next turkey! I crushed hot Cheetos and added them to my masa when I made tamales and they were really too, just didn’t add anymore salt or peppers. Now moving right along to having and sharing a beautiful Christmas!❤️” one fan replied.
Gwen and Blake met on the set of The Voice back in 2014. The two have been married since 2021. Both were going through divorces when they met. Gwen had split from ex Gavin Rossdale, with Blake also freshly single after his split from country singer Miranda Lambert.
