Gwen Stefani is clearing the air about her relationship with Blake Shelton. 
 
 "He's a pretty rad guy, I have to say that," Stefani tells #Uncorked hosts Leigh Ann and Courtney in an interview airing on Monday at 4 p.m. CT. 
 
 "There's been loads of people that have helped me with this tragedy," Stefani says of her divorce from Gavin Rossdale, which was recently finalized. "There's definitely key people that have pointed me into the right direction. Blake really helped me. Not to change the subject, but it's kinda on the same subject, Pharrell was literally like a guardian angel." 
 
 When asked about going public with Shelton, Stefani claimed, "We didn't! Like, somebody did. That's what's so crazy like, who announces that? Why would I do that?" 
 
 Stefani also attempted to shut down recent reports that she and Shelton have written a new country song together, with a flat-out "No!" (A source confirmed to ET earlier in the day that the pair had penned a song together, but it has not yet been confirmed whether they've recorded it.) 
 
 "He's not writing on my record," she said. 
 
 The radio hosts later hit Stefani with a quick-fire round of questioning, including the kicker: Southern men or British men? 
 
 "Oh, that's such a funny question!" Stefani teased, clearly picking up on the reference to her ex. "Let's see, I would say if I had to choose, Southern."

 It was a very unhappy ending for Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. In the new issue of Us Weekly, insiders exclusively reveal that the music super couple’s 13-year marriage ended because of adultery: Rossdale’s three-year relationship with the family’s longtime nanny, Mindy Mann. (Stefani’s rep could not be reached, and Rossdale’s rep declined to comment.)

 Back in February, Stefani, 46, uncovered Rossdale’s long-term affair with Mann, who cared for the couple’s three sons, Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 20 months. 
 
 At the time, the No Doubt frontwoman discovered explicit texts between Rossdale and the nanny — including nude photos of Mann and their plans to meet up for sex — on the family’s iPad.

 “The iPad was linked to Gavin’s phone,” a family source tells Us. “One of the other nannies discovered the exchange and told Gwen.” 
 
 Mann was soon fired, but the Bush rocker, 50, insisted to Stefani that the exchange was simply “flirtation,” one source explains. When he finally confessed to the affair months later, the “Used to Love You” singer made the decision to end their marriage. The couple announced their plans to divorce in August.

 The admission “completely devastated her,” a source tells Us. “She was mortified, livid, and embarrassed.” 
 
 The sexual relationship lasted for more than three years — including the time period when Stefani was pregnant with Apollo.

 Talking about that timeline. Days before Us Weekly exclusively revealed on Wednesday, Nov. 11, that Gavin Rossdale cheated with the nanny for several years during his marriage to Gwen Stefani, the No Doubt songstress may have hinted at discovering the betrayal in a new interview. 
 
 "I had been writing because my life blew up," Stefani, 46, told KIIS FM's JoJo Wright on Monday, Nov. 9. "Everybody knows that my life blew up last February. I'd just been dealing with that. Unexpected. I was going along thinking that was going to be the rest of my life and it's not. I don't know what happened."

 As sources detail in the new issue of Us Weekly, the Voice coach allegedly found out in February that her husband carried out a three-year affair with the family's longtime nanny, Mindy Mann, who looked after the superstar couple's sons, Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 20 months. (Stefani's rep could not be reached for comment; Rossdale's rep declined to comment.) 
 
 Sources say Stefani found racy texts and nude photos exchanged between Rossdale, 50, and Mann, and subsequently fired her children's caretaker. Rossdale, meanwhile, allegedly lied about the relationship until he finally fessed up to cheating months later.

 In August, the Bush rocker and his wife announced that they were splitting after 13 years of marriage. 
 
 "There was one night, the epicenter of the whole thing — that's the most I can say about that — and the next day I wrote the chorus to 'Used to Love You,'" Stefani told Wright on Monday of their breakup. "But I didn't know it was 'Used to Love You.' I just had written all this stuff and it had happened to be in there buried in a bunch of lyrics that I had written."

 Stefani endured heartbreak, and her outlet was songwriting. "I just knew that I needed to write," she told Wright. "Even the first day that I went into the studio, I didn't want to get out of bed. You know when you're so down that you just don't want to do anything? I went to the studio and I wrote a song. And it wasn't just writing a song to a track or something. It was like sitting at a piano with a guy I didn't know and an engineer that's sitting there who I didn't know, and all this stuff is going down they didn't know."

 Stefani told Ryan Seacrest last week in a separate interview that she had 19 songs written within eight weeks. "I was like, 'Listen, all I wanna do is — I just want to say the truth," Stefani recalled of what she told her peers in the studio. "I just want the truth to come out. I just want to be honest and real . . . that represents where I'm at right now.'"

 Now, the "Used to Love You" hitmaker has moved on with her fellow Voice coach Blake Shelton, who coincidentally also split from his wife, Miranda Lambert, this past summer. “He’s a pretty rad guy," Stefani said of Shelton earlier this month in an interview with 103.7 KVIL. Stefani also shared that Shelton helped her through her devastating divorce — the terms of which were settled last month.

– What was really behind Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's divorce? According to Us Weekly's sources, Rossdale cheated on Stefani (and no, not with Courtney Love). Sources say the Bush frontman had a three-year affair with Mindy Mann, his family's longtime nanny. In February, Stefani found (after being tipped off by another family nanny) explicit texts and nude pictures Rossdale and Mann had exchanged, sources say. Mann got fired, but it wasn't until months later that Rossdale admitted to anything other than "flirting" with her, and at that point Stefani decided to split. The affair "was done right under Gwen’s nose," a source says, including while Stefani was pregnant with the couple's third child, Apollo, who is now 20 months old. On Monday, Stefani may have made a reference to the nanny affair, Us points out: She did an interview on KIIS FM during which she said her "life blew up last February." She called the whole thing "unexpected. I was going along thinking that was going to be the rest of my life and it's not. I don't know what happened." That's when she started writing "Used to Love You," she explained. (See what Stefani recently had to say about her new guy.)
