Gwen Stefani explains why meeting her husband Blake Shelton felt like a second chance in life
Gwen Stefani—who shares kids Kingston, Zuma and Apollo with ex Gavin Rossdale—detailed why her relationship with Blake Shelton, whom she married in 2021, made her feel reborn.

Gwen Stefani created a place as her own world, and she’s Blake Shelton’s favorite girl.
Indeed, “The Sweet Escape” singer recently detailed how her relationship with her current husband felt like a rebirth after her divorce from Gavin Rossdale, to whom she was married for 12 years.

“Meeting my husband felt like a second chance at life,” Gwen—who shares kids Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10 with her ex—explained to the Guardian in an article published Nov. 14.
“Because when my family fell apart, it felt like a catastrophe.How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.”

And Gwen even noted that her newest album, Bouquet out Nov. 15, is inspired by the relationship she grew with Blake from that initial bud.
“I know this sounds weird, but Blake and I came together in gardening,” she explained.

“We have a house together in Oklahoma and during the pandemic we came across this very old building on the land and there were some purple irises, which someone must have planted centuries ago, but they’ve survived.”
