In Touch: Gwen Stefani & Gavin Rossdale are expecting their third child

At this point, I do feel weird claiming that we should Bump Watch Gwen Stefani. Most of the time, I’m pretty sure that she’s just wearing baggy clothes and/or had a big lunch. Then last year, Gwen basically confirmed that she had been pregnant again and she miscarried at some point, which was probably around the time everyone was like “oh, she looks pregnant.” So, I’m just saying, I feel bad about this. But In Touch Weekly says it’s on, so here we go. According to sources, Gwen and Gavin Rossdale are expecting their third kid:

In Touch can exclusively reveal that Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale are expecting baby No. 3!

An insider close to the 43-year-old reveals to In Touch “She and Gavin couldn’t be happier” about the exciting news.

“My biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far,” she has stated previously — and now they have another bundle of joy on the way.

“She’s just trying to focus on resting right now,” says the source. “She wants to make sure that all is well with the baby.”

[From In Touch Weekly]

I get the feeling that Gwen really wanted another kid and that she and Gavin were actively trying. Maybe they were trying for the girl? I could see that – Gwen seems like she wouldn’t give up until she got a daughter. Anyway, if this is true, congrats to them. They seem like hands-on, loving parents. Gwen gets a lot of crap for bleaching her sons’ hair and for letting them dress, act and style themselves like mini-rock stars, but Zuma and Kingston seem like sweet, well-behaved, normal kids with two doting parents. I kind of hope Gwen gets her girl!

    I always thought the next news about them would be their separation

    • Susei says:

      agreed!

    • Kim says:

      Can you say marriage band aid anyone? Why do people think having a baby will fix their issues? So sad for the baby. Besides they are both way to old to be having a baby.

      • G says:

        Holy CRAP what a bitchy thing to say! LOL!! I love it! Too old? Like JLO, Victoria, Tina Fey, or Halle? She has the body of a 25yr old I’m sure she’s not “too old” So Kim honey please take several seats LOL!

      • Turtle Dove says:

        Oh, Kim. Sit down. Who the h*ll are you to say that a woman is too old for a kid? Obviously her body doesn’t think she’s too old. *rolls eyes*

  2. Tessa says:

    Who says she bleaches her son’s hair? I got very very blonde in the summer, and my hair wasn’t bleached. They live in SoCal 24/7. Maybe they’re just like all of the other sunbleached blondes running around.

    • Jessica says:

      The older son has his natural light brown hair and a big, perfect streak of platinum blonde in the front. That’s not caused by playing in the sun.

      I actually have no problem with dying kids hair, but bleaching’s different to me. I use the mildest, safest, blah blah blah hair bleach available, but it’s still nasty stuff. I wouldn’t be letting young kids anywhere near it.

      • Anthea says:

        Sorry to disagree, but a large streak of natural platinum does happen. I have one, and a girl at school who was ginger had a white-blond streak in their hair – it might be odd or unusual, but it does happen.

        I love mine actually, it’s quite cool 🙂

    • TrixC says:

      Actually they live in London, at least most of the time.

  3. Val says:

    A baby at 43? Well…..good for them.

  4. brin says:

    Kinda surprised…congrats to them!

  5. Katren says:

    Why just assume she’s desperate for a girl? Lots of people would be happy with 3 boys…

    • Anna says:

      I’m sure they’d be happy with three boys, but some people do want both sexes. Just like many men want keep trying for a boy.

    • Gem says:

      Agreed! I have twin boys and people always ask when I’m trying for a girl. How about never?! Two healthy, happy boys is enough blessing for me.

      • Original Me says:

        I hear ya. I have one child, and as I was leaving the hospital after my delivery, the nurse said “see you in 2 years”!
        The hell you will lady. I love having one child, and I don’t feel obligated to “try for a girl” or “give him a sibling”.

      • Camille (TheOriginal) says:

        Original Me: +1! You sound exactly like me. My son is 6 now and I have no desire for any more.

    • Jayna says:

      Come on. It’s only natural if you have two boys that you are hoping for a girl. Especially girly girls like her. I have friends who went for their third and all wanted so much to have a girl as they had boys. They would love and be happy with a boy, but every one of them wanted a girl. I remember my friend went for a fourth because she had three boys and she was disappointed when she found out it was a boy during her sonogram. She got over it, obviously, and adores that little fella, but there is nothing wrong with wanting both genders to fill out your family when having more than a few children. I can’t imagine not having a little girl.

      • Dana says:

        Gwen is so not girly

      • Wren says:

        Um I am a girly-girl with boy #3 on board due next month and am not disappointed at all. After having several miscarriages I couldn’t care less what gender, as long as they are healthy. I am sure any woman who has been through multiple losses would say the same thing!

      • Bridget says:

        It’s normal for some people to want each gender represented, and its normal for some people to want just one gender of kids. Children are not salt amd pepper shakers, where you need to have one of each to make the set.

        And FYI, the only way I’d have a 3rd kid would be if I would be guaranteed another boy.

    • jc126 says:

      Yes, they would be, particularly if they were lucky enough to have healthy kids, they wouldn’t fixate on gender. Especially as plenty of people don’t even get to have children, or have children with serious illnesses.
      I will say that I wouldn’t be surprised if Gwen S. wanted a girl just because of all the fashion stuff she does, but I won’t say she’s so shallow that she’d be disappointed if she had another boy.

      • hunter says:

        I’m pretty positive little Harper 7 was “sex-selected” prior to Posh’s last pregnancy for just this reason. Victoria Beckam without a little girl!?!? That’s just unfair.

        Sex selection can be done on the sperm prior to impregnation and is expensive but I think completely reasonable when you already have three little boys.

    • bns says:

      Because Gwen has admitted to it herself.

  6. Really! says:

    Cute happy kids, they are the kind of parents who should have more!

  7. Rux says:

    I do not know why but ever since they got together, I really felt they belonged together even through all the scandals, etc. they just seem to fit exactly right. I am so happy for them.

  8. Mia 4S says:

    On one hand congrats to them, as they can afford great medical care and household help I think a baby at 43 is great.

    On the other hand, it’s In Touch magazine, she probably had pasta for lunch.

  9. erin says:

    I always had the feeling that they were about to seperate. So if she is pregnant, I wish them all the best.
    Still, I´m not convinced – after all the source is In touch

  10. Mimi says:

    Shes 43??? That would put her well into her 30s during that Harashuku phase. What the hell was wrong with her! Surely she was old enough to know why that would be offensive or was she just stupid.

    • John Wayne Lives says:

      lamest statement ever.

    • Dara12 says:

      She is just very stupid. After she was called out on it by Margaret Cho she still refused to admit wrong doing and then there was the No Doubt video a year ago appropriating Native American Culture.

  11. Shocking news…especially with all the scandals surrounding Gavin Rossdale (having a gay lover, secret daughter, etc.) Gwen always seemed so desperate to keep her marriage in tact, not that it’s a bad thing, but still…I’d be shocked if they last even after this baby

    • Petee says:

      Gwen has known about Gavins past.I even knew before Marilyn announced it.It would shook me if they separated.I think they are a great couple and seem very grounded.For some reason a lot of people on this site don’t like her.I think she is awesome.

    • Mindy says:

      That whole Marilyn thing is just weird to me. They were together afew years so that wasnt just some youthful experimenting. Its hard to believe that a bisexual (or possibly closetted gay) man would just completely go off men so permanently. I worry for Gwennie.

      • Kim1 says:

        Bisexuals are capable of having monogamous relationships just like heterosexuals. Very ignorant comment.If you are straight do you cheat on your partner with other men.Why not? Arent you attracted to men? SMH

      • sputnik says:

        bisexuality doesn’t preclude monogamy.

      • daisydoodle says:

        don’t shame her, it’s a very honest comment, that I’m sure a lot of people think about…

      • Jan says:

        Kim1

        I think what the poster is saying is that Gavins behavior implies shame in his gay side which is a recipe for cheating. Atleast thats what I think.

        He spent decades denying that the relationship happened and when he did admit it, claimed it was a once off. That implies that he is ashamed of the gay side. And bi men with shame act like Travolta or even Joe Simpson.

      • Kim1 says:

        @Jan Mindy said she doesn’t think he would just go completely off men.What does that mean? He can be attracted to men and be faithful to

      • Kyle says:

        Even though I understand on a celebral level that any man can cheat, it somehow feels more likely with a bi guy. The thought that the love of my life also inherently desires something I cant give is scary. And I dont mean sex, I mean his need for masculine energy in a romantic relationship. I do realise how biphobic that may sound but I honestly think its just plain and simple self preservation.

      • Kim1 says:

        cont Sorry phone glitch.Gwen knows about Marilyn affair and daughter and seems to love and accept him.I find it interesting that I never hear the same comments about Angelina, Drew or the other female celebs who have had a same sex relationship.

      • Sardinia says:

        I think Amber Rose has been getting some side eye, Kim. Johnny Depps new girl as well. Generally men are just believed to be more likely to stray, evolutionary biology and all that. When you throw in the bisexual element, it just triggers some serious insecurities. If you have been on Datalounge you may have noticed the recoil most of those guys have towards bisexual men. Which sucks for bi males but as Kyle says, this is instinctive self-preservation.

        I do think that Gwen is far from naive. Who knows, they may even have an open arrangement. Or maybe she is just very very secure.

      • Mel says:

        @Sardinia I agree but let me also add that lesbian sex is often derisively dismissed as not really counting because there is no penis. This is why straight men are able to find lesbian sex unthreatening. Presumably because the penis is the centre of “real sex” to them. Its not cheating to them if its “only” with a woman.

        Women dont have a dismiss button on gay sex though. Very very very few women would consider it a bedroom treat if their bfs brought home another guy and they paired off so you can watch. Contrast that with the near universal male fantasy of two girls pairing off for his pleasure.

        Theres also the issue of glass closets. Many gay men comeout progressively, hiding in bisexuality at first. I think that factors in to add to the womans fears. Meanwhile gay men are fearful that a man who has an option to live happily in a hetero relationship with none of societal stigma will eventually just settle with a girl. Bisexual dudes really do get the worst of both worlds.

      • Kim1 says:

        @Sardinia I was confused 🙂 Amber Rose is Kanye ex you mean Amber Heard.I’m just, tired of the anti Bisexual rhetoric, my BF is a Bisexual man.He gets hate from Straights and Gays. He came out as Bi 28 years ago to family and friends its not a phase

      • Sardinia says:

        @Kim1;

        I meant both Ambers. Theres always been whispers about Amber Rose because pre-Kanye all her relationships were with girls. Now that shes had Wiz Khalifas kid theres talk that she will go same sex again just coz she has the child now and the child support.

        Amber Heard also has her skeptics if you read the comments here and on other sites.

        I hope its clear from my post that I can see how hard life must be for bisexual men, discriminated upon by both straight women and gay men. I was merely noting that both these groups are simply protecting themselves emotionally from an unknown quantity. I am glad you are happy in your relationship and I hope this doesnt offend you but I wouldnt make the same choice myself. Perhaps that just speaks to my own insecurities but I am fine with that.

      • Sardinia says:

        Ooops double posts

      • Rosie says:

        @Kim1

        Thanks for sharing. I am just curious, do you find that your relationship offers any unique challenges? I may be a little green in these matters but I imagine there would be. Educate me please.

    • Kim says:

      I agree. This baby is a band aid to a bad marriage. It may force them to stay together but what good is that for them or the kids in the long run?

  12. Mar says:

    I really love her. She is one of the only celebs I respect

  13. Crabcake says:

    Wait… is he the father? He really doesnt look like he can maintain a straight relationship.

  14. shannon says:

    i’m judgy, i’ll admit. I loved Gwen back in the 90’s, but was pretty disappointed when she decided to go the plastic surgery route.

    • Anna says:

      What did she have done?

      • sara says:

        Her LIPS were enlarged, her GUMS were reduced, Her JAW was redone, Her CHEEKS were sculpted, Her NOSE was shaved, Her BROWS were lifted, Her TEETH were all rebuilt, Her FACE was lifted or LAZER RESURFACED, Her BREASTS were REBUILT with IMPLANTS. She looks NOTHING like she did back in the 1990s (this is a GOOD thing) and she most likely had this pregnancy thing done NOT by PENIS but by way of PETRI DISH. Still too OLD. She’s close to GRANDMAS age.

  15. klutzy_girl says:

    I’m reluctant to believe this because it’s from InTouch (waiting for confirmation from her, PEOPLE, or US) but she has been looking pregnant lately.

    Then again, there were those pictures of her in a bikini and she didn’t look pregnant, so not sure.

  16. Amanda says:

    That’s kind of surprising, judging from her age and the ages of her children, I would of figured their family was completed. Congrats I guess.

  17. april says:

    I hope its true! I have loved Gwen since tragic kingdom when I was in 5th grade! and this is unexpected, I assumed she was done. Cool, I hope its a girl, I would love to see a little gwen Stefani daughter!

  18. Marigold says:

    I feel like I just saw her on a yacht in France with a toned, flat belly. Did she get pregnant yesterday and announce it immediately?

  19. Lilysmommy says:

    I became a first time mommy @ the age of 42 and couldn’t be happier. 😉 I Loved being pregnant but that it is for me! My daughter Lilyanna is now a happy healthy 14 month old and she is definitely all I can handle. 😉

  20. E-v-E says:

    one of my favorite celeb fashionistas, I’d own all of her clothes and her brand’s if I could afford them ;)she also does not seem to age or has a good surgeon.
    but, she strikes me off as desperate to keep Gavin, I think she was really unlucky in love but maintained a cool attitude. Something like Pink, who is more vocal about her relationship struggles, too vocal maybe (another song/vid about or with Carey Hart and I’m out haha)

  21. babythestarsshinebrite says:

    I so hope it’s a baby girl. Luv this family!

  22. Lucky Charm says:

    Well, IF it’s true, congratulations to them & their family. A little girl would be nice. This would also mean Angelina’s next one isn’t far behind, either! (They seem to have their babies around the same time. They coordinate births like some women coordinate outfits, lol!)

    • Kim1 says:

      LOL After I saw Brad’s new tattoo with AJ and all the kids’ initials I think their family is complete.

      • Lucky Charm says:

        Oh, where did you see that at? I have something similar, but I’d love to see his.

      • lisa2 says:

        I thought about AJ/BP too. She and Gwen have been pregnant at the same time. But Yeah I think Brad/Angie are done. I don’t see Angelina having babies in her 40’s. Besides they have 6: 3 boys/3 girls.. nice mix.

        I saw the tat and it was very sweet. He has an A then followed by the first letter of all the children by age: MPXSKV.. I guess it compliments her coordinated.

        anyway not sure if this is true. But I was looking at the pics and Gwen’s boob look bigger and she is hiding behind a lot of stuff; clothing and bags/purses.

        I don’t get the trying for a girl/boy. If you want a specific sex adopt and then you would have what you want and giving a child a family. Win win all around.

  23. Sabrine says:

    Could be just another bogus pregnancy rumor based on as little as her wearing a fluffy top. I won’t believe it in the least until it’s confirmed by Gwen Stefani. Remember the Aniston rumors a couple of weeks ago. Also, In Touch only weeks ago said they were divorcing. Don’t be fooled by tabloid gossip.

  24. Mitch Buchanan Rocks! says:

    The younger child looks like Amy Poehler could be his mother.

  25. Elisabeth says:

    looking forward to another ridiculous name

  26. Chloeee says:

    I can’t hate on her. I’ve always had a soft spot for her. And her ability to pull off the weirdest looking ensembles.

  27. Elizabeth says:

    They are one of those couples I’m always expecting to break up but they really make their marriage work! I hope this story is true because Gwen said she’d love to have more kids.

  28. John Wayne Lives says:

    love this girl!!!!!! I fell in love with no doubt when they were still an underground So Cal band.. her early music especially carries a lot of the flavor and spirit of this So Cal girl’s growing up <3

  29. s6nny says:

    Good for her! Have a baby girl, Gwen!

  30. Malice says:

    Yay, she spread her legs and he shot a load in her!! Yayyyyyyyyyyyy Why is this SH!T even news?

    • Mean Hannah says:

      Haha…that’s funny and I love babies! It reminds me of my sister’s BFF’s comment when he found out she was pregnant: yay – congratulations! You f*cked her good!

  31. butch says:

    I doubt they actually f*cked to conceive this time round
