Gwen Stefani<\/strong> and Blake Shelton<\/strong> seem to be super happy together, but Gwen says when they first began dating, she thought it was a terrible idea and tried to get him to drop the\u00a0notion of having a relationship with her.<\/p>\n

Gwen and Blake were both coaches on The Voice<\/em> when their marriages\u00a0\u2014 hers to rocker Gavin Rossdale<\/strong> and his to fellow country star Miranda Lambert<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 fell apart. They started seeing each other, but, speaking to People<\/em> magazine, Gwen reveals, “We had just met, and it was chaos. Both of our lives were in complete turmoil, all over the ground. Nothing could save us at that point.”<\/p>\n

“There was a point where I was like, ‘I can’t even talk to you. This is insane. I already have enough problems. This is not happening anymore. We’re not going to text or nothing.'”<\/p>\n

But Blake was persistent and wooed her with something she couldn’t resist \u2014 he started writing a song and asked her to finish it.<\/p>\n

“So I wrote him … the second verse on the song … over text,” she says. “That was our first song that we ever wrote together. We were never even in the same room, but we were writing a song to each other.”<\/p>\n

That song, “Go Ahead and Break My Heart,<\/a>” turned into a duet that they recorded and released in 2016. In it, Gwen sings, “I’d never ever meant to get so into you\/ Thought I was using you just to get me through\/ You know I’m broken, I don’t trust anyone\/ Last thing I needed was to fall in love.”<\/p>\n

And Blake sings, “If moving on is what you wanna do\/ Why don’t you do it? … If you really need a brand new start\/ Why don’t you go ahead and break my heart?”<\/p>\n
