Luke Bryan was recently a third wheel on Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s date night in Los Angeles, and he recently talked to “Us Weekly” about what a night out with the pair is like.

“We speak about the shows [‘Idol’ and ‘The Voice’], but we’re really just catching up, wanting to know how the family and everybody else is doing,” Luke shares. “It was just fun hanging with them, and anytime I’m able to see them having fun and being happy, it’s great to be around them.”

And while Luke says he and Blake have “a fun competition” since they are on competing talent shows, the truth is, Luke says Blake has been nothing but supportive.

“When I found out that ‘Idol’ was interested in me being a judge, certainly I called Blake, and he’s like, ‘Man, you’re going to love it. It’s right up your alley.’ He spoke of how much he’s enjoying his role with ‘The Voice,’” he says. “And he was right. I’ve enjoyed it. It’s a new element in your life. It’s a new challenge. It’s tackling something new, and you learn a lot about entertainment throughout the whole process.”
