Gwen Stefani’s ex, Gavin Rossdale, opened up about how they raise their three boys together without “co-parenting,” in the traditional sense
When it comes to co-parenting, there’s really no right or wrong answer, as long as the kids are safe, loved, and cared for. Case in point: Gavin Rossdale and his ex, Gwen Stefani, who share three sons together. During a recent podcast appearance, Rossdale opened up about how they split and share their co-parenting responsibilities, and they have an interesting perspective on raising a family after their split.
Rossdale appeared on the Not So Hollywood podcast on Thursday, where he spilled the tea about how he and Stefani approach co-parenting their boys, 17-year-old Kingston, 14-year-old Zuma, and 9-year-old Apollo.
“I think you can go one of two ways,” Rossdale explained. “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.”
He continued, “We’re really different people … 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. Because that’s 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.”
Honestly? That’s a pretty refreshing perspective. And the important thing is that Rossdale and Stefani have found a system that works for their family. Plus, with the addition of Stefani’s husband, Blake Shelton, whom she married in 2021, it sounds like the boys have no shortage of loving adults (and role models) in their lives.
