Along with their split after nine years of being in a relationship, she also revealed that this was the time her brother Eric Stefani left to pursue an animation career.
She said that this feeling of abandonment was fuel for her to rigorously come up with lyrics to new songs and create music, which also catapulted her solo career in the music industry. She said:
“It was a really hard time for me, these were like the only people I’d hung out with — my brother and my boyfriend — and they both quit me! So all of a sudden, I started writing these songs, one after another.”
