Gavin Rossdale gives an honest look at being married to Gwen Stefani. And please don't call him Gwen's "Rocker hubby."
Rossdale, guitarist with Bush, met Stefani in 1995 and began a long distance relationship. The two eventually married in September of 2002 and welcomed their first son, Kingston on May 26, 2006.
Gavin is "sick" of being known as Gwen Stefani's "Rocker hubby." When the couple met over 12-years ago, he was having success with Bush and Gwen was just starting to make a name for herself with No Doubt. However, it's a bit different now - Rossdale is trying to get his solo career on the go and Stefani has had huge success with both No Doubt and solo projects. Plus she's a Grammy winner and now can add designer to her resume. Gavin admits that the role reversal isn't as easy as some may think.
"It’s been a tough few years for me because I’ve been lost in how to define myself in the present tense. With that glare of the publicity on us, how can I not feel like an appendage at times? It takes a tough man to be married to a force of nature like Gwen. ‘Rocker hubby,’ if I ever see that phrase again…. It’s challenging and it forces a lot of humility.”
Gavin also talked about how parenting is hard work, especially parenting a toddler. "I need more sleep. Of course, no matter what time you get to shut your eyes, the precision of a 2-year-old ready to meet another day is unwavering. Marching, animals, chalk, footballs, songs, waffles and searching for snails - it's a revolving door of fascination. And he's so into it, it's hard to not share his joy. Need coffee. Strong, thick, eye-opening and above all, helpful."
