Singer Gwen Stefani is not “still in love” with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, despite rumors. Gossip Cop debunked reports stating Rossdale is Stefani’s “one and only” love and this has become boyfriend Blake Shelton’s “worst nightmare.”
According to RadarOnline, Rossdale is Stefani’s true love though he allegedly cheated on her with their children’s nanny. The report said she made this confession to her friends last month following her mediation talks with Rossdale about how to raise their children.
The report quoted a source saying, “She can’t stand Gavin because she thinks he’s a cheater and a bad dad, but she still insists on calling him the love of her life.”
The source added that Stefani has labeled the country singer a “rebound romance” and has even considered walking away from the relationship. “If they don’t have a kid soon, she’s said they won’t ever get married!” the alleged insider said adding “She would take Gavin back in a minute — if he wasn’t such a screwup.”
Though it is true that Stefani and Rossdale are in mediation talks over their parenting styles, the story about her being in love with her ex-husband comes from nowhere as Stefani has also openly declared her love for Shelton several times.
Stefani’s representative told Gossip Cop that the entire story is “untrue.”
Stefani and Rossdale were married for 13 years before they announced their split in August 2015 after an infidelity scandal rocked their 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,” the pair had said in a statement back then, People reported. The two have three sons— Kingston, 12, Zuma, 9, and 4-year-old Apollo.
Stefani and Shelton, on the other hand, became close on the sets of "The Voice" after their split from their partners in 2015. Shelton’s representative confirmed their romance in November 2015, saying Gwen and Blake are longtime friends who have very recently started dating,” Billboard reported.
They made their first public appearance as a couple at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in February 2016.
In April this year, Shelton said though he has marriage on his mind, it will not happen anytime soon.
“I think about it. I don’t think it’s anytime soon or anything. The more time that goes by, I guess, the closer you’d be getting to that,” he said.
Earlier this year, Gossip Cop debunked another claim by the same website about Stefani suffering a “devastating miscarriage” that shattered her “baby dream.” The website also quoted an alleged insider saying “it was very hard for her since she and Blake tried to have a baby for at least a year-and-a-half.”
