Gwen stopped by for an Audacy Check In interview with Los Angeles radio station KROQ to promote her new duet with Blake, Purple Irises.

The 54-year-old also discussed her highly anticipated reunion with her former bandmates at the upcoming Coachella.

But the Just a Girl singer revealed it’s hard for her to listen to some of her old music, because their meaning hits so close to home.

“I can’t listen to a lot of the songs because they speak so clearly to me,” she shared.

“And it’s like, you know, you have regrets, you have mistakes you’ve made. And most of the songs are about that.”

Gwen expanded to say that some songs are so personal, and fill her with such regret, it actually makes her sick.

“If I do ‘Ex-Girlfriend,’ even when I say it, I almost throw up in my mouth.

“Just knowing exactly where I was in that moment to write that song and what I know now? It’s just like, ‘Oh, my God.’ It just brings you right back.”

WORKING GIRL

Gwen has thrown herself into her work lately, focusing on her career amid rumors the she and Blake may be struggling in their marriage after spending so much time apart.

In early February, Gwen revealed she will be out on the road while focusing on her cosmetics line, GXVE Beauty.

Along with her show at Coachella, the Rich Girl singer will also be performing at the 2024 Minnesota Yacht Club Festival.

Blake has also been dealing with a busy schedule, especially with his Back to the Honky Tonk Tour kicking off this week.

Blake has a slew of other shows outside of his tour lined up in the coming months, including an Oklahoma benefit concert in late March.

TENSION GROWING

With so many events happening this year, an insider revealed their full 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 recently told Life & Style.

“It’s been frustrating. Their relationship of late has been a lot of texting and talking on the phone.”

“Gwen and Blake used to be inseparable, but that’s changed.”

“Everyone loves them together, so hopefully this is just a temporary thing,” the insider concluded.

The two spent Valentine’s Day apart as Gwen appeared to ditch her husband in favor of a makeup event.

They also spent New Year’s Eve apart this year, leading a source to reveal 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.

Despite the rumors, the two recently dropped a love song called Purple Irises earlier this month.

The two were seen holding hands earlier this week at Gwen’s performance at the Cali Vibes Festival, where she brought Blake onstage to perform their new duet.
