Gwen & Blake's SURROGACY STRUGGLE

Having achild together hasn't been an easy road for the hit-making lovebirds.

There’s no doubt Gwen Stefani and husband Blake Shelton make beautiful music together. Their latest duet, “Purple Irises,” dropped in late February and became an instant hit, just like their previous collaborations. The “Don’t Speak” singer, 54, said she wrote the song as a way to be “honest” about her insecurities around getting older, and when she showed it to Blake, 47, they decided to record it together. ‘‘Creating this song was magic,” she shared.

Now the pair — who met on the set of The Voice and began dating in 2015 — are tackling their biggest project yet: having a baby. But the journey hasn’t been easy, sources tell Life & Style. “Gwen and Blake have been wanting a baby of their own for years now,” says a source. “They’ve had surrogates on board, but something always seems to fall through at the last minute. It’s been a struggle.”
