Earlier this week, E! News got their hands on some “exclusive photos” of Mindy Mann, Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani’s former nanny and Gavin’s former lover/mistress of three years. Go here to see the photos. It was pretty obviously a set-up pap stroll (E! even had a videographer taping the whole thing), and it made people wonder if Mindy was going to try to Christine Ouzounian this situation. “To Ouzounian” = set up pap strolls, sell stories to the media, brag about your celebrity conquest on social media and walk away with a juicy, undercover payoff.
The Ouzounian comparison doesn’t exactly work in this case because we only found out about Mindy after Gwen and Gavin had finalized their divorce. Plus, Gavin has never tried to convince us that he’s some wholesome family man, which is what Ben Affleck tries to do on a regular basis. Still, the National Enquirer claims that Mindy might end up getting some money:
Gavin Rossdale might end up paying Mindy Mann $1 million in hush money to keep her from spilling the beans about their sex trysts.
Pals of Gavin are telling him the steep price is possible to “prevent the secrets from his reported extramarital affair from going public. Gavin is going to be made out to be the world’s worst husband if the nanny reveals al the sordid details.”
[From The National Enquirer, print edition]
$1 million to keep her quiet? Eh. Here’s the question: if she tried to sell her story, how much would she get? My guess is very low six figures. As I said, Gavin Rossdale is no Ben Affleck. Plus, Gavin and Mindy’s affair was reportedly going on for three years. At some point, feelings were involved. It wasn’t just sex on a Lear jet on the way to Vegas. Mindy might be staying quiet for now because she thinks she and Gavin might be real, that she’s going to end up being his official girlfriend.
Meanwhile, Us Weekly reports that Gwen Stefani and her children have been invited to Oklahoma for the Thanksgiving holiday!
Blake Shelton has invited his new girlfriend, Gwen Stefani, home for the holidays! A source tells Us Weekly that the country superstar, 39, invited Stefani and her three sons to spend Thanksgiving at his home in Oklahoma. It’s not yet known if she’s decided to take the country crooner and fellow Voice coach up on his offer, but Stefani is no stranger to Oklahoma. As previously reported by Us, Shelton took the No Doubt singer to his hometown earlier this month prior to her rep confirming exclusively to Us just ahead of the CMAs, that the two are dating.
What do you think? I think it’s way too early for Gwen to bring her kids to Oklahoma for an actual holiday. Like, with Blake’s extended family? No. It’s too soon. That being said, Adam Levine said that spending a week with Blake at Blake’s Oklahoma home was the best vacation he ever had. I think Blake has go-karts and tons of farm animals and a huge supply of liquor at his house. Which… I mean, that sounds like a really fun Thanksgiving.

I think that she and the kids need to get out of LA as much as possible. Is it just me or does the lying, cheating douchebag look like a rat from the nose down?
Yes. Also, did I read that he’s 50? I understand casual clothes, casual rocker lifestyle, etc, but he dresses like he’s 15 most of the time. Kind of man-boy never grew up.
I soooo agree. While I don’t think Gwen and Blake will work out, she should take Blake’s lead of getting out of LA (he lives in Oaklahoma) as it would be good for the kids. Now if this nanny with zero moral compass gets a penny, that would be a shame. Karma!
I would give her not one dime. These I did the nanny stories are getting so common now, you hardly blink anymore. Do what Robin Williams did, marry her, if you’re so hot for her. Pathetic. Do these creeps realize the drama and confusion they’re causing their children. Grrrr
I still can’t believe he did this. All of the groupies be could have seduced. What an unbelievable slap in the face.
Yeah, it’s a really low blow. It is such a betrayal. And it’s possible the nanny knows a lot about him that she could reveal, not just about their relationship…that could be a reason for a payoff.
Who knew that being a nanny was this lucrative?
Next year’s Forbes richest celebs are going to be filled with nannies…
^^^ This! LOL!
Hehe..it’s a little late for her now. These nannies need some gold-digger lessons..get the $before the story breaks, and keep the pics.
Gavin is I imagine still seeing her, so doesn’t have to pay her off. If he carried on a three-year affair and being caught ended the marriage, why would it be over now that he’s free?
Yeah his new house is conveniently located between where she lives and where his kids live.
I never ever got his appeal and why women (and men) throw themselves at him. The guy has cheating creep written all over him.
It seems that some people will throw themselves at anyone even mildly famous, no matter how gross.
All I get out of this whole mess is more garbage that Gavin and Gwen’s children will be able to look up on the Internet when they are older. Just sad
Does he have one million extra to give her? He’s no Gwen Stefani.
Right? He/they are not that interesting. I don’t think there’s enough interest in them. Gwen is only just back in the public eye with The Voice, but Gavin hasn’t been seen in years. Save your $$ Gavin lol. I’d take the kids to OK – bet they’d have a blast.
On the other hand she is super lucky to have snagged Blake. He’s perfect for her except I hope that her existing kids are enough for him. She’s too old to get pregnant again.
She has gone from one cheat to another, more of a sideways move rather than a move up. Imo Blake is not hanging around long enough for kids, this romance will end when it suits The Voice ratings.
it will be interesting to see what impact he has on her, if any. He likes girls without make up who play it straight. He may help boost her confidence, if its just a short rebound/convenience little love affair. I hope some charming guy desires me at 46, with 3 kids. Regardless, I hope they have fun doing whatever it is they are doing.
Also, I bet those kids already know Blake as a friend of their mom’s. Gwen has said that Blake was always her and the boys’ favourite coach, and she has had them on set. An he has nieces or nephews around Gwen’s kids’ ages, so the focus may not be on Gwen and Blake as a couple if they go to OK, it may be more on doing a bunch of fun stuff.
Way too soon to spend a holiday with a new guy, especially one who can so easily gain the kids’ affection with a bunch of cool farm toys. Way too soon.
The cat’s out of the bag. No shock value anymore. So paying her off is kind of stupid.
Gavin…..he’s just yuck…I’m glad Gwen finally was able to break free of him and hope she doesn’t ever take backward steps and let him into her heart again.
As for the Thanksgiving trip…I personally think it’s a good idea as long as it doesn’t turn into a love fest in front of her kids.
Yes….I am aware that she may end up with another heart ache with Blake , but as a recently ( in the past three years )!divorced woman , the relationship I got into when I got divorced although it didn’t end well was probably a good thing for me at the time, it showed me that I can have a good time, I can have feelings for someone else and life will go on without my ex and myself and my son will be just fine.Hopefully if the Blake thing bombs after the initial break up they will be able to remain friends as my ex and I did.
I think a relaxing vacation where the kids can have new , fun experiences will be a good thing for them , and Gwen needs some time to kick off her shoes, and hopefully take off her makeup and learn about a whole other way of life …. And wear some sloppy warm ups woman !
So shoot me now, but this is just my opinion …
This thanksgiving story is a couple of days old now. I could easily be completely made up. Whatever they do at thanksgiving, you can bet Gavin has to agree.
This girl is a low budget version of Gwen. Like, down to the poses, even. Poor kids. That’s all I really get outta this.
Sign me up for Thanksgiving at Blake’s! Farm animals and booze trumps a plateful of snarky in-laws, in my opinion…
As for the shuddup money…..well, Gavin’s no Ben but Gwen is pretty high profile and she’s already being painted as Woman Scorned. So I’m sure the Gavs doesn’t want to add any mor fuel to THAT fire….
Why would he pay for stories Gwen’s camp initiated? They are both guilty. Get over it.
The claim that three years automatically means there were feelings involved is not necessarily true. If she truly cared about Gavin, why any fear of blackmail or attempts at self-gain? No. People do not do this because they are nurturing loving people. They do it for their own benefit and for women, to prove they can compete with the wife/girlfriend. Nice Gwen hair BTW! The hair, clothes, taking care of the kids, even bonking her husband, does not make you Gwen. Go be your own person for God’s sake.
