Gavin Rossdale Gives Rare Insight Into Former Life With Ex Gwen Stefani

Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani have been divorced nearly 10 years, but he still has fond memories of their time together.

Rossdale, 59, reflected on his and Stefani’s shared home in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles while sitting down with Jesse Tyler Ferguson for the Tuesday, March 18, episode of the “Dinner’s on Me” podcast.

“Oh, [I had] unbelievable memories because that was such an exciting time,” Rossdale said of the shared house while learning Ferguson, 49, lived there after he and Stefani, 55, sold it. “I was there for a number of years when we just were together. I was there when we first got married. We had our first kid there.”

The Bush singer continued to share rare insight into his time with Stefani before their 2015 split, praising her design aesthetic in their L.A. pad. “Gwen did a beautiful job on the nursery,” Rossdale recalled. “That house has fantastic memories.”

He remembered hosting “amazing” New Year’s Eve parties “every year” with the Voice coach. “We never knew what to do, so it was easier to make the party come to us. So fantastic times,” Rossdale said.

The British rocker noted that when he and Stefani lived in that house it was “right at the height of everything really fun” in his career.

“It was really a great time for us,” he continued. “So I have a great memory of that house. … Beautiful time.”

Ferguson agreed that the house was “such a special place” for him and his husband, Justin Mikita, as well, since it was where they welcomed their first child. “I would still get your Restoration Hardware catalog,” he said with a laugh.

Rossdale and Stefani tied the knot in 2002. They went on to welcome three sons, Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11, during their marriage. (Rossdale also shares daughter Daisy, 36, with ex Pearl Lowe.)

The pair announced their separation in August 2015 after 13 years of marriage. “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment,” Rossdale and Stefani told Us Weekly in a joint statement at the time. “To that end, we respectfully request privacy from the media during this time.”

The exes finalized their divorce in 2016, and Stefani moved to have the marriage annulled in 2020 after she got engaged to Blake Shelton. Once the annulment was granted by the Catholic church, Stefani and Shelton, 48, got married in July 2021.

Rossdale, who is now dating Xhoana Xheneti, has been somewhat quiet about his and Stefani’s divorce over the years. However, he confessed in March 2024 that he regretted not working harder to have a friendship with his ex-wife.

“The biggest thing would be when you see the kids that sometimes there’s a loss,” Rossdale said during an episode of the “Amy and T.J.” podcast. “It’d be nice if there was sort of more of a connection with the person who made them with me.”

The singer added that since their split, he made a conscious choice not to speak poorly about Stefani or their relationship.

“Less said, soonest mended and I said nothing,” Rossdale explained. “It’s not my place to say anything. I’m handcuffed because I would never want to overly say anything negative about their mom. That’s just not right.”

Rossdale has continued to take that approach, speaking only positively about Stefani on the “Dinner’s on Me” podcast.

“I’d been inspired by Gwen,” he told Ferguson when asked about becoming a solo artist. “She’d done an amazing job with her solo career. So, I thought, ‘Oh that’s possible.’ But with her of course she made it possible because effortlessly going into pop like that.”
