“Gwen Saved My Life”
The heart-to-heart that Shelton and Stefani shared was just a planted seed that would soon form into a beautiful tree.
Shelton also mentioned to Billboard that after that conversation they started checking in on each other weekly. “Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile [break-up] from another musician? You can’t even imagine the similarities in our [break-ups].” He further explained, “Next thing I know, I wake up and she’s all I care about, and I’m ¬wondering if she feels the same about me.”
How did Gwen take it all?
“One of the Greatest Gifts”
Recently Gwen opened up to E News! about what her life’s been like since the separation. “I feel as if I spent the last four years healing… You know, trying to build my life again. Having a best friend like Blake to help me do that has been one of the greatest gifts.”
And you know what? Misery might love company, but love definitely comes when you least expect it. And Shelton and Stefani’s 2016 hit song they wrote together (“Go Ahead and Break My Heart”) summed up their feelings quite perfectly:
“You know I’m broken, I don’t trust anyone…You’ve got me dreaming, got me thinking, I’ve got some hope. There is nobody else I wanna get to know.”
