Gwen was captured in a selection of different high-fashion outfits and jewelry, showing off her wild poses both by herself and while surrounded by mannequins.
In the accompanying story, the star touched on some internal issues impacting her marriage.
“I had been going through those times where you’re questioning, ‘Oh my gosh, am I just getting older? Am I cute?’
“In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what’s happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen. I was in that phase of the relationship with Blake and getting paranoid.”
Blake added, “It’s an insecurity we both have. These are conversations that she and I have with each other, ‘Are you still going to love me when I’m old or if I forget who I am?'”
However, Gwen later concluded, “The truth is I am in love with my best friend, and all this s**t I’m thinking of in my brain, that’s all it is — I’m overthinking.”
TOUGH LOVE
Gwen and Blake’s earnest words came after claims that they were going though a difficult time in their marriage.
After the New Year, a source shared that Blake was “really upset” and “disappointed” that he couldn’t spend the night with his wife, according to Life & Style.
Their insider also claimed that they were going through a rough patch, saying, “Gwen and Blake’s marriage is 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.”
They concluded, “The tension continues to grow, and Blake and Gwen are drifting apart as a result.”

In my own relationship, even though I know the truth of what’s happening today, you still create drama in your own mind about your insecurities and what might happen.

The duo have joined together alongside their old band, No Doubt, to perform at Coachella over two weekends from April 12 to April 21.
Tony and Gwen started dating as teenagers, calling it quits shortly before the tour for their third album, Tragic Kingdom.
In a clip of Gwen greeting her old bandmates, fans felt that there was no love lost between the exes.
“You realize that Tony said last year on a podcast that they don’t talk with Gwen at all, right? Like he explicitly mentioned that they only speak through lawyers,” one person wrote on Instagram.
“Looks so awkward those hugs,” said a second.
“Idk the vibes seem kinda off. Low key no one looks excited,” a third social media user wrote.
