Gwen Stefani: Broke It Off With Blake Shelton At First
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have been happily married since July 2021. The couple are the sight of happiness when seen out in public together and when sharing their lives on Instagram and other social media.
But that wasn’t the way it always was. As Gwen told People Magazine this week, when they first got together she was ready to break it off.
Gwen told the publication, “We had just met, and it was chaos. Both of our lives were in complete turmoil, all over the ground. Nothing could save us at that point. There was a point where I was like, ‘I can’t even talk to you. This is insane. I already have enough problems. This is not happening anymore. We’re not going to text or nothing.'”
Then, Blake worked to write a song with the pop star, and that changed things a bit. Stefani said that Shelton “really wanted to impress me” because he doesn’t “really write songs as much as he used to.” She went on to say that she loves writing songs noting, “That’s everything to me.”
At the time, Blake began writing what would become “Go Ahead and Break My Heart,” a duet the couple released in 2016.
Gwen said he sent it to her, and the two wrote the song together via text. She wrote the second verse of the song and the two were never even in the same room writing it, but “we were writing a song to each other.”
Stefani says her childhood dream was to be married one day, like the love she sees in her parents. She said it was something she always wanted and that “God putting Blake in my life was just that miracle.”

Shelton is back with his new song “Texas,” and he’s been promoting it with a series of interviews. He recently did an interview with People and talked about what life has been like since he left The Voice a couple of years ago.
Blake told the publication, “I really, and I mean really, indulged in not being on a television show anymore. It’s just been great for me to get back in the mode of, ‘Hey, I’m a country singer first.’ That’s what I left Ada, Oklahoma when I was a teenager to go be. I never want to get that far away from what I feel I meant to do ever again.”
Shelton said that in the last couple of years, especially since he’s retired from The Voice, he has been “very mindful of the next thing that I do.” He noted that he wanted to make sure he wasn’t doing things “because I’m on the hamster wheel anymore.”
