GWEN Stefani has playfully demanded a response from her husband as rumors continue to swirl about their marriage.
The singer and her husband Blake Shelton, 47, dropped their new love song Purple Irises on Friday.
Showing excitement over the new release, Gwen, 54, shared an Instagram Story of her talking to the country star off-camera.
The new clip comes as fans continue to question the fate of Gwen and Blake’s marriage, as they have recently been spending more time apart.
“Blake Shelton, in one hour… our song’s gonna be out on the East Coast,” Gwen said while lying down and peering off to the side at her husband.
Gwen waited for Blake to respond for a few seconds before adding a “Hello?” to get his attention.
Blake then responded in a downcast manner, “I’m in shock. I don’t know what to say.”
The couple, who met as coaches on The Voice and got married in 2021, have been teasing their new song on social media over the past few days.
Blake shared the announcement with the song’s cover art on Instagram to reveal the release date earlier this week.
Gwen also shared a TikTok clip, which first showed her singing in the mic as the camera cut back and forth to Blake singing on the other side of the studio.
The two were heard singing the lyric, “No I never knew a love like this, now we’re picking purple irises.”
The song also features the line, “But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you/Don’t know what I’d do, don’t wanna lose you.”

The love song comes as rumors have been circulating the couple may be headed for a divorce after spending much of their time apart.
DRIFTING APART?
An insider recently revealed Gwen and Blake’s jam-packed schedules have made it harder for them to find time to spend together.
“They’ve been spending a lot of time away from each other the past several months,” a source told Life & Style.
“Gwen and Blake used to be inseparable, but that’s changed. Everyone loves them together, so hopefully this is just a temporary thing,” they continued.
After the pair’s separate New Year’s Eve celebrations, a source revealed to the outlet that their marriage was “definitely in trouble.”
“Lately, they’ve been at odds about everything from career decisions and the parenting of her three boys to where they spend most of their time.
“The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result,” the insider added.
Along with their new song release, Blake has been gearing up for his Back to the Honky Tonk tour, which kicks off later this month.
Gwen has been focusing on her cosmetics line, GXVE Beauty, and preparing for her reunion performance with her old band, No Doubt, at Coachella.
The singer will also be performing at the TikTok Tailgate pregame event at this year’s Super Bowl on Sunday.
