Gwen Stefani is finally opening up about the details of her split with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. Speaking in a new interview with her fellow Voice star Carson Daly, the singer dished about her traumatic experience following the end of her marriage, and how she’s coped with having her life turned completely upside down.
“My life is so extreme right now,” Gwen revealed to Carson. “My life basically blew up in my face. And now I’m in this new life and it’s pretty awesome I have to say. I’m so inspired and being back on the show, and just being in a new place. Everything just feels new. I just feel inspired. I don’t know how else to describe it.”
“You talk about it: While shooting this show, you went through such a traumatic experience,” he noted, at which point Gwen immediately jumped in and joked: “I feel like I’m going to throw up right now.”
It's not hard to imagine where the 45-year-old drew inspiration from for her emotional new single "Used to Love You," and now the star is opening up about how exactly she came to pen the song.
"Things went down, I think it was February where my life just, 'Whoa!' It just changed," she told Carson Daly on his AMP Radio show. "Before that, I couldn't really write. I wanted to, but my life was just so … I don't even know how to describe it."
Daly asked directly if her divorce caused her creative juices to flow, Stefani said she doesn't "have anything to hide."
"Everybody knows that I was married forever and now I'm not," said the Voice coach. "Could you imagine what my life is like right now? It's crazy!"
Over Halloween weekend, the star partied with her fellow coaches Blake Shelton and Adam_Levine.
"I was literally that party girl that you hear about when their life blows up and you're like, 'Oh, I'm going out! Watch me!' We're just trying to have fun, you know?" she told Daly about being photographed with Shelton leaving a party.
