AceShowbiz - Gwen Stefani reflects on her unexpected journey into country music and her blossoming romance with husband Blake Shelton, sharing intimate details about their bond and hinting at a potential country album collaboration.
Before meeting Shelton on "The Voice" in 2014, Stefani admitted she had never listened to country music and was unaware of his fame. She now embraces the genre and expressed her love for singing duets with her husband, who she finds endearingly humble and talented.
Their love story began after Stefani's divorce from Gavin Rossdale, a period she describes as a "catastrophe." Meeting Shelton "felt like a second chance," she says, adding that they surprisingly bonded over gardening.
Their shared love of nature inspired Stefani's song "Purple Irises," which depicts the hope and vulnerability of finding true love. Shelton sang on the track, further symbolizing their close bond.
While Stefani has released solo country-influenced songs, she is open to collaborating with Shelton on a full album of duets. She applauds his natural talent and believes their unique voices complement each other beautifully.
Stefani's fourth studio album, "Bouquets", includes songs reflecting her divorce from Rossdale and her newfound happiness with Shelton. The couple married in 2021 and have performed together on stage, including a memorable duet at the Grand Ole Opry.
