Many may be on the fence about former Baltimore Ravens star Ray Rice‘s reinstatement to the NFL, but there’s one supporter whose devotion the running back needn’t question – wife Janay Rice.

Fielding criticism from national media to football fans and even the President of the United States, Janay proudly stands by the man who physically assaulted her in an Atlantic City elevator just three months ago – a feat demonstrated on her long-awaited sitdown with Matt Lauer on ‘Today.’

The embattled couple dished on the status of their relationship post-assault, mistreatment from the NFL, misconceptions from spectators, and so much more.

Motherhood, fashion, and a return to No Doubt have kept Gwen Stefani out of the solo spotlight in recent times.

However, the eclectic singer is back and blazing with new single ‘Spark The Fire’ – the latest single to be rolled out from her first LP in eight years.

Hot on the promo trail for the Pharrell Williams produced track, the youthful 45-year-old  sat down with Good Morning America today to discuss the project (which also houses buzz cut ‘Baby Don’t Lie’).

Interestingly, the segment was introduced with the announcement that the as yet untitled project is still slated for release this month. It’s a window which has many surprised given that The Voice coach is still “setting up” the single. Could a unique roll-out be nigh? Time will tell.

For now though, peep the interview below…

Danity Kane‘s break-up remains one of the year’s messiest, muckiest, and muddiest stories.
