Super country star Blake Shelton didn’t get much airtime during his Super Bowl performance with his wife, Gwen Stefani, which was pretty funny to fans.

“Blake Shelton [has been] reduced to nepo-boyfriend status,” one user posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

“Nepo-boyfriend,” is defined as someone who profits from the celebrity status of their significant other.

On CBS’s Super Bowl broadcast, celebrities watched the Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers 25-22 in overtime. Cameras lingered on Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Luke Combs, and others as their names popped up on the screen; however, when Gwen and Blake were shown, only her name was seen.

Do you consider yourself a nepo-boyfriend or girlfriend?
