Michael Bublé is back as one of the familiar faces on the latest season of The Voice, and not only has he returned to the big red chairs, but he's also sporting some new personal ink to celebrate his family. This year, he aims to captivate audiences and contestants alike with his newfound look, as well as reminding everyone of his devotion to his children through his tattoos.
The iconic jazz-pop singer, known for hits like "Home" and "Feeling Good," has marked his love for his family permanently on his body. Bublé, 49, has four tattoos on his left arm representing his children's names: Noah, Elias, Vida, and Cielo. They are beautifully etched from the base of his wrist to his forearm. The artist humorously documented this newest addition, the name of his 2-year-old daughter, Cielo, through social media last December. "Okay, I’m ready," Bublé said, playfully winching as the needle approached. "What if we just call her C?" he jested, leaving fans laughing with his light-hearted humor about parenting.
Bublé married Argentine actress and model Luisa Lopilato back in 2011, two years after she starred in his music video for "Haven’t Met You Yet." Together, they share four children: Noah, 11, Elias, 9, Vida, 6, and Cielo, 2. Their family has become central to Bublé's identity. His playful remark on social media, "I’ve got enough space for at least six more kids. They will have one syllable names," showcased just how far his dedication to family extends.
This season, Bublé is the only returning coach from last season, aiming to build on the momentum of his earlier success. The Voice Season 27 premiered on Monday, February 3, airing on NBC, marking the start of what promises to be another thrilling contest of talent. Joining him are fellow veterans Adam Levine and John Legend, along with the season's newcomer, Kelsea Ballerini, all vying for the best contestants.
At the premiere, Bublé didn’t miss the chance to highlight his amusing side when he shared some old photos of himself. During one particularly memorable moment, he displayed a younger version of himself sporting what he referred to as a "shoulder-length mullet." This playful tactic was aimed at convincing contestant Ethan Eckenroad to join his team. When Eckenroad delivered a strong audition with Noah Kahan's "Northern Attitude," Bublé surely aimed to showcase his personality beyond just being the familiar crooner. "Yo Ethan, I love country. I can even prove to you how much I love country," he enthusiastically stated as the photo of his mullet flickered onto the screen. Ballerini's reaction to the image was priceless; the country artist’s jaw dropped, illustrating the cutting-edge shock of Bublé's transformation.
John Legend took the opportunity to quip, "I told you he was related to Blake [Shelton]," adding some levity to the banter between the judges. This light-hearted competition is something fans recognize from The Voice, where relationships and humor often color the competitive atmosphere. Other judges also pulled out all the stops to secure Eckenroad, with Legend praising the contestant’s poise and soulful voice. Legend noted, "I’m so impressed by your poise, by the soulfulness of your voice, it was just a beautiful experience for us," emphasizing the competitive camaraderie shared among the judges.
While the banter continued between Bublé, Levine, and Legend, the contestants did not go short on humor or charm. Eckenroad’s candid remarks about considering adopting the mullet hairstyle for himself brought alignment with Bublé’s nostalgic tactic, indicating the power of connections through style and comfort during auditions.
The coaching competition on The Voice isn't just about finding the best voice. For Bublé, it's also about the emotional threads he weaves through personal stories and shared laughter. The multifaceted roles of being both a father and performer give him unique credibility as he aims to inspire the next generation of musicians. The smoothiest singer's transition from belting tunes to ink, along with heartwarming family stories, adds layers to his public persona.
And so, as he returns to The Voice, fans can expect much more than just traditional mentoring. Michael Bublé is weaving tales of humor, nostalgia, and family ties, making this season’s competition even more generous and entertaining. The combination of his sincerity, laughter, and those fantastic family tattoos are sure to strike the right chords.
