Gwen Stefani hints at marriage trouble with Blake Shelton in cryptic lyrics of new song Still Gonna Love You
GWEN Stefani has left fans scratching their heads over the lyrics of her new single.
The No Doubt star’s latest song, Still Gonna Love You, features a series of cryptic lyrics which has sparked concerns about her marriage.
Last year, Gwen and her husband,B lake Shelton, were forced to address rumors that their relationship was in trouble and this new single is only likely to have sparked whispers once more.
The lyrics to the track, which is a collaboration with Finneas, are about someone who is being ‘pushed away’ by their partner.
Gwen, 55, sings: “You can push me away/ Go ahead and make your mistakes.
“I won’t judge you/ Nothin’ that you can say if you want me to hate you
“I’m still gonna love you.”
The lyrics also include: “And I know you’re not trying/ To break my heart, but it still hurts the same.”
Still Gonna Love You features on Gwen’s Bouquet Deluxe album, which she released today (March 14).
The album features acoustic versions of every song on her Bouquet album, which dropped in November last year.
To add to the confusion, the cryptic song release comes after 48-year-old Blake also raised eyebrows with a bizarre announcement about “recreational use”.
Gwen married country star Blake in a romantic ceremony held on his ranch in Oklahoma in July 2021.
The couple had met in 2014 on the set of The Voice, where they were both starring as judges, and they began dating the following year.
On their wedding day, Gwen dazzled in a gown made by designer Vera Wang and she wore a veil that paid tribute to her new husband and her children.
It had the names ‘Blake, Gwen, Kingston, Zuma and Apollo’ hand embroided on it.
But less than three years down the line, the couple faced rumors that their marriage was on the rocks.
It came as fans noticed Gwen and Blake were spending a significant amount of time apart from each other.
They even celebrated New Years in different time zones, with Gwen marking it in Las Vegas while Blake performed at the WinStar World Casino and Resort in Oklahoma.
CLAPPING BACK
In January 2024, the couple hit back at claims their relationship was in trouble by putting on a united front.
Gwen held Blake’s hand in an Instagram Stories clip before she was inducted into Orange County ‘s Hall of Fame.
Weeks later, she posted a picture of a vase of purple flowers which were positioned alongside a note that read: “To Pretty Girl, Love Blake.”
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani Timeline
Blake, 47, and Gwen, 52, began dating in 2015 after meeting on the set of the NBC reality show The Voice.
Both were fresh out of lengthy failed marriages.
After a five-year relationship, the celebrity couple got engaged in 2020.
The Hollaback Girl singer announced their engagement on social media as she flashed her blinged-out hand while sharing a kiss with her hubby.
Blake also shared the same picture on his Instagram, writing, “Hey Gwen, thanks for saving my 2020… And the rest of my life.. I love you. I heard a YES!”
Less than a year later, on July 3, 2021, the couple tied the knot in an intimate ceremony at Blake’s Oklahoma ranch.
The two seem to have now found their forever loves, after leaving a trail of drama from past relationships behind them.
In December, The U.S. Sun even told how Gwen is planning to ‘quit’ The Voice after 10 years to spend more time with Blake and her kids.
Blake bowed out of the NBC show last year and insiders claim Gwen is showing signs of following in his footsteps.
According to a source close to Team Gwen, the pop star had “crying a lot” during the last season of The Voice.
“It was nonstop emotions, crying throughout this entire journey but you can tell it’s mostly rooted in joy and deep pride for the work she’s done,” the source said.
The insider added added that due to her behavior, “all signs are pointing” to her calling it quits after a 10-year run.
“She never outright said she was done with the show but it seems like she’s quitting, yeah. She’s done I think,” they added.
“Gwen wants to spend more time with her family now that Blake is also off the show.
“She really found a second home in Oklahoma and seeing Blake walk away from the show and prioritize his own music and their family life, I think made her realize what her next chapter can look like.”
