Gavin Rossdale feels ‘disgrace’ about giving ‘damaged residence’ to children after divorce from Gwen Stefani

Although the Bush frontman has kept quiet about his ex and their three children, Rossdale got candid about their 2015 breakup on this week’s episode of Amy and TJ podcast with Amy Robach and TJ Holmes.

Rossdale said she feels “shame” about the divorce, especially when it comes to giving her children a “damaged home.”

“I never thought I would ever get divorced. So there is easy misfortune in my life,” Rossdale explained.

Rossdale and Stefani share sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10. Rossdale is father to daughter Daisy Lowe, 35, from a previous relationship with Pearl Lowe.

The former couple met in 1995 and married in 2002. They announced their breakup in 2015 amid rumors of infidelity.

“I really feel bad for my kids, that’s it,” he said. “I wish they had found a way to not have that in their lives.”

“It wasn’t fun for me to come back from a destroyed house…” added Rossdale, who noted that his parents were married three times. “It can be quite debilitating for young people… the overriding factor is you don’t want to disappoint your children.”

While he didn’t immediately mention Stefani, the 58-year-old musician discovered he had no reference to the No Doubt singer.

“The biggest factor might be if you see the kids, that sometimes there is a loss. It would be good if there was another reference to the one who made them with me”, he shared.

Stefani, 54, has since remarried since her divorce, tying the knot with the country star, Blake Sheltonin 2021.

“I go to a lot of events where there’s ‘the other team,’ so to speak, and I feel very pleased with myself in my consistency as a parent,” Rossdale explained. “I know in my heart that I am super constant.”

Despite the rivalry that can often surround a high-profile breakup like theirs, Rossdale said he does his best not to talk about Stefani.

“I mentioned it less, I fixed it quickly and I didn’t mention it at all,” he said of the divorce. “I’m in handcuffs because I never want to say anything too hurtful about their mother. This is simply not appropriate.”

The British singer has also moved on, most recently going Instagram official with fellow musician, Xhoana, revealing that he met his and Stefani’s children.

And while they may not have a “connection,” Rossdale said he is at peace with how things turned out between him and Stefani and happy to be in a place where they will co-parent their three children.

“I believe there are no accidents in life, so you can be where you are supposed to be. So I’m not remorseful,” Rossdale. “Life just unfolds the way it should.”
