Gavin Rossdale reveals that he doesn’t co-parent with Gwen Stefani. Here’s why

Not every former famous Hollywood couple are the lovey-dovey type of co-parents when it comes to raising their kids (cough, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis cough, cough) and sometimes split the duties, but amicably.

Take Bush front man Gavin Rossdale and his ex-wife, the face of No Doubt, Gwen Stefan, for example: While appearing on Adrianna Costa’s podcast “Not So Hollywood” on June 15, the musician noted that both he and Stefani are different people, so they take on different methods of raising their three boys.

“I think you can go one of two ways,” Gavin said. “You can either do everything together and really co-parent and see how that goes, or you can just parent. And I think we just parent.”

Not everyone can be Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz or Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Philippe, and that’s OK.

“We’re really different people,” he added. “I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process.”

Stefani and Rossdale had a relationship that spanned multiple decades after they met when No Doubt opened up for Bush in 1995. They married in 2002 and had three kids — Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. The duo parted ways after 13 years of marriage, and Stefani went on to marry Blake Shelton in 2021.

“What’s important is to give them a wide view of things and we definitely have some particularly opposing views, so I think it’d be really helpful for them to make their own minds as individuals,” Rossdale said about his sons.
