Gavin Rossdale, the frontman of Bush, recently expressed his desire for a stronger connection with his ex-wife, Gwen Stefani, with whom he shares three children. In a candid interview, Rossdale revealed that he felt constrained in discussing his former partner, as he didn't want to portray her negatively. The couple, who married in 2002, parted ways in 2015 amidst rumors of infidelity on Rossdale's part.
Rossdale, 58, shared his feelings of regret, particularly for the impact of the divorce on their children. He emphasized his wish to shield his kids from the experience of coming from a broken home, drawing from his own upbringing where his parents had multiple marriages. The musician expressed his concern for his sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo, aged 17, 15, and 10 respectively, stating that he didn't want to disappoint them.
Reflecting on the aftermath of the divorce, Rossdale acknowledged the challenges of co-parenting and the lack of a deeper connection with Stefani, without directly naming her. Meanwhile, Stefani has moved on and married country singer Blake Shelton in 2021, following her divorce from Miranda Lambert.
Rossdale described the divorce as emotionally intense and contentious, highlighting the importance of maintaining a positive co-parenting dynamic for the sake of their children. He emphasized the need for restraint in discussing their past relationship, expressing his commitment to being a consistent father.
While Stefani and Shelton's relationship flourishes, Rossdale has also found love with musician girlfriend Xhoana, as evidenced by their recent Instagram debut. In addition to his children with Stefani, Rossdale is a father to Daisy from a previous relationship.
