Gwen Stefani reveals rumours about her divorce with Blake Shelton made her doubt herself

Gwen Stefani may have shut down rumours of a divorce from husband Blake Shelton but she admits that rumours around their split didaffect her.

In a recent interview with Nylon Magazine, Stefani admitted the rumours made her question her age and appearance.

"I had been going through those times where you're questioning, 'Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?'," the musician told the outlet.

"In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what's happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen."

The singer admitted to having these feelings of insecurity while creating her duet with the country music star, "Purple Irises."

"I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid," Stefani said.

"It’s an insecurity we both have," Shelton added. "These are conversations that she and I have with each other: ‘Are you still going to love me when I’m old or if I forget who I am?’"

Stefani and Shelton have been married for threeyears and she calls her husband her best friend. "The truth is I am in love with my best friend," she said, adding, "and all this s--- I'm thinking of in my brain, that's all it is. I'm overthinking."

She also added that while she was aware of the divorce rumours, she did not paymuch attention to them. "But when you're in love and have truly aligned values, nobody can get to us," Stefani said. "You can say whatever you want to say about our relationship. I mean, a week ago we were getting divorced again or something. It's just lies. The truth is the truth, and we know what that is."

Shelton and Stefani met and fell in love in 2014 while filming season 7 of The Voice. The couple tied the knot on Shelton's ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, in 2021.
