Gwen Stefani Confirms She’s ‘For Sure’ In Love With Blake Shelton

Gwen Stefani
has found love again – along with her creative spirit.

In an interview
for Vanity Fair‘s April issue, the music superstar opened up about how her
split from rocker Gavin Rossdale initially affected her ability to make music.

“I
was so scared and insecure and thought it was over for me,” Gwen told the
mag of her struggle to write songs in the wake of the breakup. “I think
the hardest thing I did was to get out of bed and go to the studio.”

While
“Used to Love You,” the lead single from Gwen’s No. 1 solo album
“This is What the Truth Feels Like,” was penned during the fallout of
her and Gavin’s 13-year marriage, the No Doubt frontwoman said she wasn’t
seeking revenge.

“I
went through a real period of anger, but I felt like this song was almost like
a forgiveness song,” the mom of three said. “It’s admitting, ‘I used
to love you and now I don’t.’ I opened this channel to writing again. It was me
being honest, being real.”

The singer is now in a high-profile relationship with her fellow “Voice” coach
Blake Shelton – who went through a public divorce of his own last year – and confirmed
that the two are on
solid ground.

“Yeah,
for sure,” Gwen said, when asked if she’s “in love now.”

However,
she went on to explain why she’s hesitant to elaborate further.

“I
don’t really want to go into that relationship, and God knows what’s going to
happen,” Gwen told the mag.

Now,
she said, she’s entered a point in her career where she’s deriving inspiration from
a more optimistic source.

“I
feel like I’m in an amazing songwriting place,” the 46-year-old began.
“Instead of being closed off, I’m thinking about positivity and how I can
do something creative. I’m just doing what I want to do. It’s so incredible to
be in that zone.”

Gwen
said that in spite of the personal upheaval she’s experienced, her drive hasn’t
suffered.

“I’m
always looking for the next song, and now I don’t have to be insecure or write
about heartache,” she said.
