Gwen Stefani has described her relationship with Blake Shelton as a "second chance at life".
The No Doubt singer dated Blake for nearly six years before they tied the knot in July 2021.
Gwen was previously married to rocker Gavin Rossdale for 12 years, and in a new interview with The Guardian, she touched upon the pain she suffered after the relationship crumbled.
"Meeting my husband felt like a second chance at life, because when my family fell apart it was a catastrophe," Gwen recalled. "How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me."
Gwen raises three sons with Gavin - 18-year-old Kingston, 16-year-old Zuma and Apollo, 10.
The pair announced they had split in 2015, with Gwen later finding love with Blake, who she met while appearing as a coach on The Voice.
Elsewhere in the interview, the 55-year-old singer also revealed an unusual hobby brought her closer to the country star.
"I know this sounds weird, but Blake and I came together in gardening," Gwen explained, "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."
Gwen went on to reveal her song Purple Irises, a duet recorded with Blake which was released earlier this year, was inspired by their time together and the realisation she could find love again.
"I wrote the song about that and how it feels to find true love and the insecurities of not wanting to lose it," she shared as she discussed her new album Bouquet.
