Gavin Rossdale got vulnerable about his divorce from Gwen Stefani while speaking to Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes on their Amy and T.J. podcast on Thursday (May 21).
Without naming her directly, the 58-year-old rocker spoke about Stefani while bonding with the former Good Morning America anchors — whose respective divorces from their former partners and subsequent romance turned into major headline fodder in 2023 — over going through relationship drama in the public eye.
“My clearest, simplest shame,” he began. “I never thought I’d ever get divorced. Sometimes I wish that, when you see the kids, there’s a loss. It would be nice if there was more of a connection with the person that made them with me.”
Trending on Billboard
Rossdale and the No Doubt frontwoman tied the knot in 2002 after six years of dating, but parted ways in 2015. The pair share three children — 17-year-old Kingston, 15-year-old Zuma, and 10-year-old Apollo.
Stefani has since remarried to Blake Shelton, whom she met on The Voice, and Rossdale is now dating musician Xhoana.
“I feel bad for my kids,” Rossdale continued on the podcast. “I wish I could have just figured out a way to not have that in their lives. It wasn’t fun for me to be from a broken home … It can be quite debilitating for kids. The overriding thing is you don’t want to let your kids down.”
The musician also added, “I’d never wanna overly say anything negative about their mom … It’s not right.”
The “Love Remains The Same” singer — whose band will celebrate its 30th anniversary by embarking on a 32-date North American tour in July — opened up about his parenting setup with Stefani last year. “I think you can go one of two ways,” he revealed. “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.”
“We’re really different people,” he added at the time. “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.”

It seems Iman Shumpert did not stick to the script with regards to his divorce. Reports say Teyana Taylor is not happy he made it public.
According to TMZ the Harlem, New York native had intended to keep their legal separation as private as possible. But according to the celebrity gossip site the former National Basketball League star chose to declare their status which was the opposite of what Taylor had in mind. In January she aimed to keep their initial divorce proceedings secret; so much so she even signed the documents with just her initials to avoid the media picking up the story. While the K.T.S.E. performer has yet to comment on the matter her lawyer Tanya Mitchell makes it clear Shumpert exposed their situation.
“We were able to keep this divorce matter private as Ms. Taylor requested for eleven (11) months in this case prior to Mr. Shumpert’s MOTION revealing the parties’ legal names and making the private matter public” she wrote in a recent filing. “This matter would very likely still be private if Mr. Shumpert’s MOTION TO SUBSTITUTE TRUE LEGAL NAMES AS REAL PARTIES IN INTEREST was not filed …” she added.
Last week more details behind their split were uncovered with Teyana accusing Iman of some very toxic behavior including being jealous of her career. To the point she “began to intentionally dim her light for her husband to try to have a harmonious and peaceful marriage” as he “became more and more angry” about her celebrity. She also claims she stuck with him through all the ups and downs but he still “reacted with further cruel treatment and selfishness.”
The estranged couple were married in 2016 and have two children together. Teyana is seeking primary custody along with child support.
On Wednesday night’s Watch What Happens Live, Diplo was asked by a pair of fans about Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s divorce and whether he’s spoken to Joe since the news broke.
“I haven’t,” Diplo replied, before host Andy Cohen interjected and brought up how the EDM star “famously” livestreamed Jonas and Turner’s wedding on Instagram.
“Livestreaming had just started happening,” Diplo explained. “I was like, ‘This is the perfect opportunity to livestream something!’ I didn’t know it was a secret … so it was on the news.” The Grammy-winning DJ’s quips drew laughs from both the audience and his fellow interviewee, British singer Rita Ora.
The “Where Are Ü Now” producer went on to clarify that Jonas and Turner had a second wedding — the couple legally married in Las Vegas in May 2019, one month before having a full ceremony with friends and family at Chateau de Tourreau in France — and that he DJed the second wedding for “pretty cheap, maybe for free” to make up for his livestreaming gaffe.
Ultimately, Diplo said, “I wish them all the love,” particularly because they have children: 3-year-old daughter Willa and a 1-year-old daughter born last summer whose name hasn’t been reported.
On Sept. 5, Jonas filed a petition for dissolution of marriage, saying “the marriage between the parties is irretrievably broken.” The day after Jonas filed the petition, the couple released a joint statement on their social media accounts confirming their split. On Thursday (Sept. 21), Turner filed a lawsuit against Jonas demanding the “immediate return of children wrongfully removed or wrongfully retained” to England, where the couple had previously agreed to relocate.
The Jonas Brothers have notched seven top 10 albums on the Billboard 200, including three No. 1s. The Grammy-nominated sibling band has also earned three top 10 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, including the 2019 No. 1 hit “Sucker.” Joe Jonas’ band DNCE has charted a pair of projects on the Billboard 200. Their self-titled debut studio album peaked at No. 17 and spawned the Hot 100 top 10 hit “Cake by the Ocean.” As a soloist, Jonas reached No. 15 on the Billboard 200 with his debut album and No. 9 on the Hot 100 with the Camp Rock soundtrack single “This Is Me” (with Demi Lovato).
As a soloist, Diplo has earned one top 10 hit on the Hot 100: his Grammy-winning “Where Are Ü Now” collaboration with Skrillex and Justin Bieber. The renowned DJ has also charted seven titles on the Billboard 200, peaking with 2015’s Skrillex and Diplo Present Jack Ü (No. 26). Diplo has collected a plethora of Billboard chart achievements as a part of Major Lazer, LSD and Silk City.
Watch Diplo recount his memories of Joe Jonas and Sophie Turner’s first wedding above.
