    Watch: Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton’s Rare Outing With Her Ex Gavin Rossdale Will No Doubt Raise Eyebrows

    Gwen Stefaniand Gavin Rossdale shared a sweet escape to a special concert.

    A decade after the No Doubt singer and Bush frontman finalized their divorce following a contentious breakup, they proved their kids rock—like, really rock.

    After all, their eldest son Kingston, 20, performed Nov. 10 at L.A.’s legendary Troubadour concert hall, and the exes, as well as Stefani’s husband Blake Shelton, were in the audience.

    For the outing, the “Hollaback Girl” singer sported a pink-and-white striped blazer and blue jeans as she walked hand-in-hand with Shelton, who donned a Dickie’s short-sleeved work shirt and jeans.

    For his part, Rossdale wore a white-and-gray T-shirt and black pants.

    Though Rossdale and Stefani—who also share kids Zuma, 18, and Apollo, 12—didn’t appear to boogie along next to each other during the show, they were all smiles as they separately entered the venue.

    Since the pair broke up in 2015 amid rumors of his cheating, the “Love Remains the Same” rocker has given insight into how he and Stefani attempt to maintain harmony while co-parenting.

    “It is an interesting kind of [relationship],” he told Fox News Digital in March. “It’s a two-lane highway, you know, but they don’t ever seem to merge, which is fine.”

    Still, Rossdale admitted, “[She’s] probably doing the best she can, and I’m doing the best I can. And the kids are growing up, so I’m a proud proponent of the system.”

    And while he and Stefani may not be necessarily singing the same tune, the musician is adamant about not speaking poorly of his ex in front of their kids.

    “It’s not my place to say anything,” he said on a March 2024 episode of the Amy and T.J. podcast. “I’m handcuffed because I would never want to overly say anything negative about their mom or stuff like that. It’s just not right.”

    Instead, Rossdale is focused on showing up well despite being “flawed as hell.”

    “I just feel really proud of myself in my consistency as a father,” he added. “I know in my heart that I’m super consistent.”

    Jennifer Aniston & Brad PittNo, they are never, ever, ever getting back together. But at this point—between the birthday parties, the friendly embraces and even freaking acting out a sexual fantasy in a star-studded virtual reading of Fast Times at Ridgemont High—it feels like the former Hollywood golden couple is just taunting us.

    Sarah Silverman & Jimmy KimmelYou know you’re cool when you can pop into your ex’s talk show and give him a hard time. Such was the case when Silverman turned up on Kimmel’s stage in 2018 to chat about her show I Love You, America and his “cute,” “bright,” “funny” wife Molly McNearney. “It’s not fair!” the actress cracked. “She gets, like, new woke Jimmy. I had Man Show Jimmy.”

    Chris Pratt & Anna FarisTBH, we might still be mourning this relationship harder than either of its participants.

She even sent over a gift after the newlyweds welcomed daughter Lyla in August 2020. Thrilled for son Jack to become a big brother, a source told E! News at the time that Faris “is very supportive.”
