Who is the father of Gwen Stefani’s children?
Gwen Stefani had all three of her children with her first husband Gavin Rossdale.
Born 30 October 1965, Rossdale is an English musician and lead singer of the rock bands Bush and Institute.
He and Gwen met in 1995 when their bands were touring together, and they married in 2002.
Two years into the couple’s marriage, a paternity test revealed that Gavin fathered a child with fashion designer Pearl Lowe from before he met Gwen.
Their daughter Daisy Lowe, born in 1989, has become a fashion model.
Gavin was later reported to have had a three-year affair with the nanny.
Citing irreconcilable differences, the Hollaback Girl singer filed for divorce in 2015 and the process was completed in April of the following year.

Kingston James McGregor Rossdale
Stefani and Rossdale’s first child, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, was born on May 26, 2006 in Los Angeles.
He was the image of his father, with limp long hair as he took the stage for his first live performance.
Both of Kingston’s parents are very supportive of their aspiring show business star.
In May 2021, Rossdale celebrated Kingston’s birthday by sharing two photos of his son; a caption: “You are my best focus and inspiration – you are smart, funny and kind with a sea of empathy – to me that’s all you need to make your mark – I couldn’t be prouder of you – and i love you more every day.’
Stefani also posted a birthday invite, featuring a photo of Kingston playing guitar, with the comment, “Happy 15th day to my beautiful boy @kingsrossdale_ love you mom gx.”
Kingston has his own Instagram account, mostly featuring selfies with his makeup artist girlfriend Lola Albert, as well as some photos with his dad.
His musical debut has been a while in coming, says his father PEOPLE in 2020 that ‘we’re trying all these different bands along with bands of his generation. Young kids making music now, it’s cool, but I thought, “Why don’t we look at the beginning? See where it comes from.”‘
He revealed that he introduced Kingston to classic bands like the Sex Pistols and Gang of Four.
“He’s generally better looking than me,” Rossdale continued, “actually all three guys, all my kids, they’re just better versions of me.” I gave them my strengths.’

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale
The second son of Stefani and Rossdale was born in Los Angeles on August 21, 2008 – Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale.
The No Doubt singer, who was just three years old, revealed that Zuma was developing a great sense of humor and love for the spotlight.
In July 2020, Rossdale said Zuma was his “toughest” son, revealing to PEOPLE that the middle child once broke both his arms within six hours of each other, first by falling off his bike and then by falling off a chair at home.
“I was doing his bandages this morning, but he’s so brave and he’s so strong,” Rossdale said, “he’s a really tough kid.
“I’d be terrified if any of the other kids had to go through what he went through.”
Before his 14th birthday in 2022, both of Zuma’s parents shared sweet messages on social media.
Stefani called him her ‘mini-me’ while Rossdale revealed that Zuma could be a budding athlete in the making.
He commented, “So glad you’re mine. You even dropped me like in baseball. YOU HAVE AN ARM OF GOLD. And you can take the life out of a ball flying at 80 mph.
‘You are great. We’re going to celebrate hard, because that’s how we roll.’

Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale
The couple’s 13 years younger son, Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale, was born on February 28, 2014 in Los Angeles.
Apollo was quickly welcomed by his older siblings.
“Apollo is so small that the older brothers like to protect him,” Rossdale said in another interview with PEOPLE when Apollo was only nine months old.
“They were very happy when he was born. They just love him. There is no jealousy.’
However, Apollo is no longer the baby of the family, after his half-sister Daisy gave birth to a baby girl in April 2023.
