Gwen Stefani's 'Still Gonna Love You' lyrics spark speculations

The cryptic lyrics of 'Still Gonna Love You' have sparked speculation about Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's relationship, especially after a tumultuous year when rumors of a strained marriage made headlines.

In 'Still Gonna Love You,' Stefani sings about being emotionally pushed away by a partner, yet still offering love despite the hurt, as she wrote in an X post, ""Still gonna love you” this song is about love..a love that can’t be broken, a love that no matter what is always going to be there, and a love that can always bring u back home. what’s crazy is how this song found its way back to me all these years later… i can’t wait for u to hear it !! gx."

"You can push me away / Go ahead and make your mistakes," the lyrics of the read.

"I won't judge you / Nothin' that you can say if you want me to hate you / I'm still gonna love you."

Seemingly, the poignant lyrics seem to suggest that, despite feeling abandoned, the love remains unwavering.

The track also delves into the pain of unintentional heartbreak: "And I know you're not trying / To break my heart, but it still hurts the same."

While the song is undeniably beautiful, its vulnerability has led to speculation that it may be a reflection of the emotional tension in Stefani's personal life.

The song, which features in the 'Bouquet Deluxe' album- an acoustic version of her earlier 'Bouquet' album- listeners can't help but wonder if these lyrics point to deeper issues in her marriage.

Gewn Stefani and Blake Shelton's marriage troubles

Gwen Stefani, 55, and Blake Shelton, tied the knot in July 2021, at a private ceremony at Shelton's Oklahoma ranch.

The couple first met on the set of 'The Voice' in 2014, where they both served as judges, and started dating shortly after.

Stefani's wedding gown, designed by Vera Wang, was adorned with a veil featuring the embroidered names of her family: "Blake, Gwen, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo."

However, just a few years into their fairy-tale wedding, rumors began to swirl about trouble in paradise.

"Times are tough for Gwen and Blake. They're spending a lot of time apart and the relationship is suffering. Friends are worried that if they don't address their problems before they spiral out of control, divorce might be in the cards for them," a source told OK! Magazine in July 2023. 

One of the most noticeable signs was when they celebrated New Year's in different time zones- Stefani in Las Vegas while Shelton performed at the WinStar World Casino in Oklahoma.

In January 2024, the couple attempted to put those rumors to rest by publicly showing their support for each other.

Stefani shared an intimate moment with Shelton on Instagram Stories, where she held his hand in a video before being inducted into Orange County's Hall of Fame.

A few weeks later, she posted a heartwarming photo of purple flowers sent to her by Shelton, with a note that read, "To Pretty Girl, Love Blake." 

Gwen Stefani is 'done' with 'The Voice' after 10 years

Amid the swirling rumors, Gwen Stefani made headlines again when The US Sun reported that she was planning to leave 'The Voice' after 10 years to spend more time with Shelton and her children.

Shelton had already stepped away from the NBC show the previous year, and sources close to Stefani claim that she is following suit.

"She never outright said she was done with the show, but it seems like she’s quitting, yeah," an insider revealed. "She’s done I think," they added.

The source explained that Stefani has been deeply emotional throughout her time on the show, often crying during Season 26.

"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 further said.

But now, with Shelton also stepping away from 'The Voice,' Stefani seems ready to prioritize her family life. "She really found a second home in Oklahoma," the insider continued.

They added, "Seeing Blake walk away from the show and prioritize his own music and their family life made her realize what her next chapter can look like."

Shelton is a stepfather to Stefani's three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale. They do not have any children together.
