Bebe & CeCe Winans Set to Host 2025 Stellar Gospel Music Awards
BeBe Winans and CeCe Winans are back together. Well sort of as they set to host the 40th Stellar Gospel Music Awards, which will be held on Saturday (Aug. 16) at Schermerhorn Symphony Center in Nashville. CeCe is also one of the top nominees at this year’s show. She has eight nominations, which puts her just behind Pastor Mike Jr. and Jason Nelson, who each received nine nods.
It’s a long-awaited reunion for recording artists BeBe and CeCe Winans as the brother and sister duo return to the stage together in August to host the 40th Anniversary of the Stellar Awards.
It’s a milestone year for the singers whose careers began together in 1982 as the “PTL singers” on the Christian show, “Praise the Lord.”
Since then, the siblings have released several award-winning albums, including at least three that reached gold and one that went platinum.
The Stellar Awards will bring them back together as co-hosts and performers.The Winans siblings have been a part of the Stellar Awards numerous times throughout the years, and this forthcoming show sparks many fond memories for the two of them.
“I saw something not too long ago…the first annual Stellar Awards was my brothers singing on the show and helping to bring everything to fruition. So, there are a lot of great memories, but that is one of my favorites, just watching it, seeing its birth and now we’re 40 years down the road,” Bebe Winans revealed.
“I’m sure they’re going to bring up a lot of videos that we don’t want to see,” Cece Winans added. “A lot of hairdos that I don’t know what I was thinking about at the time.”
Taking the stage for the 40th ceremony thus far: Adia, Donnie McClurkin, Dottie Peoples, Jekalyn Carr, Jason Nelson, Lisa Page Brooks, MAJOR., Melvin Crispell III, Pastor Mike Jr., Pastor Mike Todd & Transformation Worship, Tasha Cobbs Leonard, Tasha Page-Lockhart, Tramaine Hawkins and William Murphy.
“We’re setting the tone for a night that celebrates 40 years of celebrating the greatest in gospel music,” said Jennifer Jackson, President of Central City Productions.
