Gwen Stefani is happily quarantining with boyfriend Blake Shelton, but that hasn’t stopped her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale from speaking out about their divorce.
Rossdale and Stefani were married for almost 13 years before divorcing in 2015. In filing for divorce, Stefani cited irreconcilable differences. Rumors quickly surrounded the former couple, and Rossdale was accused of having an affair with the family nanny.
Five years later, Rossdale is opening up about his marriage and divorce.
In a recent Q & A with The Guardian, Rossdale was asked about his most embarrassing moment. His answer: "The gross and lopsided spectre of the crumbling of my marriage."
This is not the first time that Rossdale has spoken about his marriage to Stefani. In 2017, he spoke to The Sun's Fabulous magazine, telling the outlet that divorce was not what he wanted, going so far to say that it was "completely opposite to what I wanted."
At the time, Rossdale explained to the magazine how difficult divorce had been for him. He described it, "Apart from death, I think divorce is one of the hardest, most painful things to go through."
That does not mean he regrets his relationship with Stefani. He continued, "We had 20 years together and that in itself is pretty incredible. It's a lifetime. I still think she's incredible. It was a lovely 20 years and we have three amazing children. There were a lot of positives, and with time they'll become more and more obvious."
Co-parenting with his ex is not always easy, however, especially during coronavirus. Recently, while speaking to SiriusXM’s Trunk Nation in April, Rossdale opened up about his kids splitting time between the two parents during the pandemic--specifically alluding to how Stefani is spending quarantine with her beau in Oklahoma.
"I know who's around me — no one is,” he said. "And I know who's bringing me the coronavirus — no one is. But you send your kids out to someone else, and they come back to you and now you’re prone to whoever they're with."
