Rumors that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton are headed for divorce have been going around for several months. But just recently, Gwen opened up about her marriage. She finally addressed the speculations that she and Blake are splitting up.

Gwen mentioned that those are also the reasons no outside negativity can affect the bond that she and Blake have. But apparently, that doesn’t mean she’s always been completely confident about their future together.
Gwen broke down the meaning behind her latest song, “Purple Irises,” which is about her thoughts about her marriage. She revealed that she wasn’t originally planning for the track to be a duet with Blake, especially considering what she was going through at the time.
Gwen explained that the day she wrote the song, she couldn’t stop thinking about the uncertainty of her relationship with Blake. She confessed that she occasionally struggles with feeling insecure about their future together. At that point, she felt extremely paranoid.
The Song Wasn’t Meant to Be Published
Gwen admitted that she had been asking herself if she was getting too old for Blake. She worried that he didn’t still think she was attractive. She had been overthinking about her “insecurities and what might happen.”
However, Blake chimed in during the interview and revealed that he goes through the exact same thing at times. Since he and Gwen both wrestle with their insecurities about the future, they’re able to understand each other better and reassure one another.
Gwen added that her inspirations for the song were the purple irises growing at Blake’s ranch and the reassuring conversations they’d had together. She said that the flowers remind her to quit overthinking about what could potentially go wrong in her marriage.

Gwen claimed that she was so vulnerable about her feelings when she wrote “Purple Irises,” because she had only created it for herself and Blake. But he asked her if they could record the song together. She agreed, which is how it ultimately became a duet.
Gwen revealed that even though she’s battled with her own mind about what the future will hold for her and Blake, deep down she knows that it’s just her overthinking. She admitted that the insecurities that sometimes pop up definitely don’t reflect the truth about their marriage.
Although Gwen and Blake have both struggled with their own uncertainties, they don’t let that define their future. They’ve been able to work through everything together, and Gwen said that she considers Blake her best friend. She made it very clear that the love they have for each other can’t be broken down by meaningless tabloid rumors.
