• Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani's ex-husband, opened about his most embarrassing moment.
  • Gavin says it's how his relationship with Gwen crumbled in the public eye.

I know we all love and adore Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton because they make such a cuteeee couple, but let's rewind for a bit! Before getting with Blake, Gwen was married to Gavin Rossdale (aka the lead singer of Bush) from 2002 to 2016. Things between Gwen and Gavin were going just fine...until Gavin messed thing up by having an alleged affair with their nanny, Mindy Mann. It's been a few years since their divorce, but Gavin is still thinking about it.

In an interview with The Guardian, Gavin was asked what the most embarrassing moment of his life was. His answer? "The gross and lopsided spectre of the crumbling of my marriage." Er, yikes.

Of course, this isn't the first time Gavin has opened up about what his and Gwen's split was like. “[Divorce] was completely opposite to what I wanted. Really not...” he said in an interview with The Sun back in 2017. “But here we are. Apart from death, I think divorce is one of the hardest, most painful things to go through.”

Obviously Gavin isn't the only one who wasn't thrilled by the divorce—Gwen had feelings about it too, and she remembers the exact date she found out he was having an affair. Following her divorce, Gwen opened up about everything in a 2016 interview with Harper's Bazaar, where she described Gavin's infidelity as "the beginning of hell...like six, seven, eight months of torture, trying to figure out this big secret."

Thankfully, things between Gwen and Gavin are chill now—they're working together as a team to co-parent their three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
