I only realized just at this very moment that it’s already October 26th and we haven’t been inundated with constant happy-family photo-ops from celebrities at the Mr. Bones Pumpkin Patch. I wonder what happened? Is that particular pumpkin patch no longer a celebrity hot spot? Because these photos of Gwen Stefani and her boys are from Shawn’s Pumpkin Patch, which must be the new, big, cool pumpkin patch. They even have pony rides, birds for sale and yes, lots of pumpkins. Anyway, these happy single-mom-with-her-kids photos are extremely convenient because Gwen just settled the terms of her divorce to Gavin Rossdale.
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have struck an agreement on who gets what in their divorce … TMZ has learned.
Sources connected with the couple tell us, Gwen and Gavin will get joint custody with their 3 children. We’re told the agreement provides a 50/50 split in physical custody, but we’re told Gavin will actually have the kids for the majority of time because of Gwen’s touring schedule.
As for money, we learned there was no prenup … we’re told Gavin agreed to take far less than his 50% share of the community property. Under California law they’re each entitled to half, but our sources say Gavin took much less … presumably to reach a quick settlement.
As for stories that Gwen and Gavin were fighting over money, we’re told that was never the case. Gwen filed for divorce in August after 13 years of marriage, We’re told the judge should sign final divorce docs by year’s end.
I’ll believe that Gavin didn’t try to take half of Gwen’s money, but I’m guessing he still walked away with a BIG chunk of it. Gwen probably didn’t put up that much of a fight because she wanted to settle this thing quickly as well. I actually like that there wasn’t a lot of back-and-forth between them and they weren’t slinging accusations at each other through People Magazine and Us Weekly. I hope she finds happiness with a really nice guy, I really do. And I hope Gavin and Gwen find a way to successfully co-parent these kids.

How much is she worth?
Forbes says she is worth about 120 million.
Is it just me or is she going the same route as Madonna??? She’s looking like mutton dressed up as lamb! Hag! *SMH*
80 million according to some outlets. Apparently he was worth 20-30. No one can possibly know this stuff though. Sure, you can tabulate approximately how much someone has earned, but that doesn’t factor in investments or spending.
Gavin is worth 30 million from doing what, he does not work.
@Loopy…isn’t he the Nanny!!!! lol
Gavin been back touring with his band for the last couple of years and just because we don’t see people are doing does mean they aren’t doing anything.
Those outlets on how much a celebrity is worth aren’t always accurate.
Wow a celebrity divorced couple who might have put their kids first and not put their divorce in the tabloids for attention. Good luck to them both.
This was much classier then Jen and Ben and their constant media presence as the confusing but loving family moments at the Farmer’s Market.
EXACTLY! The way they settled says a lot, making a somewhat clean break and just getting on with their separate lives with the least drama. Basically handling it like mature, well adjusted adults, instead of acting like high school drama queens with emotional attachment and public appearance issues while confusing the kids all along…cough Garner-Afflecks…
Divorce is never easy but you can choose to make it easier and affordable on yourself and your kids or to drag it out. It took some effort for my ex and i but when we realized that we weren’t compatible anymore and counseling wasn’t helping, we sat down with the standard parenting plan to fill it out. Joint custody, 50/50, no need for child support since we each have incomes and will have the kids an “equal” amount of time. Anything he paid for he kept, same in my case. Fair is fair and it never was about the money or how much we could get out of each other anyway. We also didn’t want to make lawyers more money than necessary. So we paid an attorney to file paperwork, and in 3 months it was over, all for a thousand bucks. We split the total cost half way, too. Yes there have been emotional roller coasters at times but we are glad to have handled it the way we did. The kids are thriving and the ex and i work better co-parenting than we ever did being married. I am thankful we handled it that way, it saved us unnecessary grief and money. I know not all situations are conducive to a clean break but i think anyone faced with divorce should try their best to work it out on everyone’s best interest.
And what do you know; they kept it classy and did not leak daily tidbits to the media. Kardashian’s take note!!
I live the picture of the youngest playing with her ear…sweet mommy moments:)
..my son is almost 11 and I feel those cuddly moments slipping away
haha in a year or 2 he won’t want to know you. Get ready!
My son is 11 and he’s like Jekyll ad Hyde. One moment he wants to cuddle and he loves me, the next minute he hates my guts.
Why do so many divorces occur once a woman turns forty? Is it the woman who freaks out and wants a change or is it that men are too appalled to actually have to sleep with somebody over 40? I can’t imagine too many women want to pack it all in and start again at that age if they are relatively happy…. so it kind of leaves the other option.
By the way, what did Gavin Rossdale actually DO for the last 15 years? Press keep mentioning his band but that ended ages ago, right? They weren’t that big and couldn’t have made him that rich… so Gwen was paying his way all these years too.
These two may be a special situation though. His ex boyfriend (the one he denied having for years before finally acknowledging him) claims that Gavin rang him up some time ago to yell at him for damaging his marriage to Gwen. Apparently she had no idea she was married to a guy who had had a 7 year relationship with another guy and that generated issues in the marriage. Or so Marilyn (the ex bf) claims.
That’s what I wanted to know about — whether she actually knew that tidbit before they married or not. I could see a lot of people in her position putting up with cheating, but not necessarily wanting to deal with the potential uncertainty of the husband’s sexual orientation.
Supposedly he was doing the nanny and it was the last straw. She loved him, but he made the marriage end. He wanted out. Her new single says it all.
“Used To Love You”
Yeah, boy
Never thought this would happen
I let it sink in, you’re gone
I don’t know, know what I’m feeling
I must be dreaming, you’re gone
Suitcase, band-aids
Pulling back out the driveway
You go, I’ll stay
You can keep all the memories
I thought I was the best thing that ever happened to you
I thought you loved me the most
I don’t know why I cry
But I think it’s cause I remembered for the first time
Since I hated you
That I used to love you
I don’t know why I cry
But I think it’s cause I remembered for the first time
Since I hated you
That I used to love you
I used to love you
I used to love you
Are you gone?
There were no boundaries
What, you just pushed me too far
I guess nobody taught you
Nobody taught you how to love
Next: Jennifer Garner and Gwen Stefani are besties!
Are you talking about the same nanny that was actually his sister? Ever since Ben nanny gate the tabloids have been using that scenario for every celebrity that divorce and have know kids.
I think 40 is when the tolerance for bullspit dies down as does the desire to please and be liked. I think it’s an age when women are most like to be coming into themselves and most able to say “Eff this noisr”
+1 bored mom, you put it perfectly
Yes. I think when a woman turns forty, you suddenly realize that life is short and you don’t have to tolerate BS anymore.
I wonder why people with money are so hesitant in having a private investigator check on these people background before marrying.
The rich and famous are always surrounded by people trying to make them part with their money.
Even Boy George went on Howard Stern to talk about Gavins flexible sexual background while Gwen and Gavin were dating.
A switch flicked on for me when my daughter was born, my 2nd child. I was 30. Everyone was shocked when I announced I wanted to divorce my cheating/wealthy husband. The divorce took about 4 years – he kept hoping I would change my mind. Never did. I wanted my daughter and son to have a stable, loving home. That’s impossible when there is infidelity and betrayal.
I feel for Gwen- she is devastated and had to pay Gavin huge sums of money even though he humiliated and cheated on her. Wish her well.
Women could also deal with unhappy marriages for a long time but think after they turn 40 that if they do not leave now they can not get a great guy ever.
And also many marriages just fall after 10 years or so, and since people get married around 30 these days the divorce is around 40. So it does not need to be anything sinister at all, I doubt anyone actually get divorced just because of some number, the shallow people just do not date over 40 people or start cheating when the partner is over 40, people not actually just dump their partners over a number (well maybe some goldiggers do after their partner turns 80 and is officially old).
To be honest, I was shocked that she put up with it for that long, given how many of the rumors about his cheating are purported to be true. I always felt like she served as a warning about what happens when you marry the person you idolize rather than your equal.
But I guess if I had to choose a reason, when you start hitting 40-50, you realize how life short really is, and do you really want to waste any more time on somebody who isn’t making you happy?
Deep Denial. I have a friend been with her husband 14 years, married for 10 and she has cheated on him repeatedly in the past. He must know by now, I suspect all our other mutual friends know as well. I am shocked he still remains for the cheating was 5 years ago now.
LOL Mr Bones moved to a different part of LA this year that is closer to me but well south of Hollywood/Bev Hills. It used to be closer to Hollywood/Bev Hills. Shawns is now the closest to that area. 😉
On an unrelated note, I hope that people who buy pet birds from these sort of places know what a commitment it is. I have a cockatiel and he’s more work than my dog.
Shawn’s Pumpkin Patch is right around the corner from my apt. Who knew Inglewood was the new celebrity Hotspot? Maybe I should wear my dark sunglasses and dress up a little when I take my nieces…
I really liked seeing them as a couple.
Gwen’s touring schedule? She’s not got any tour dates scheduled as of right now… (I friggin WISH)
I would imagine she would bring the baby with her anyway, so that part of this made no sense. She I know had the kids with her on some No Doubt shows this year.
I liked them as a couple and i wonder who he cheated with (I really doubt the nanny story, the nanny moved across the country and did not sell her story). I would like to see them both with someone interesting and I would like Gwen to not be so needy/clingy.
Most nannies wouldn’t sell their story. They have a career they care about, or aren’t fame-hos. Most people having a one-night stand or fling with a celeb don’t sell stories. It’s the 20 percent that we get to read about, probably less, selling a story about an affair with a celeb. And there are also those that get paid off.
It just seems like the high profile ones that diddle the nannies get their stories sold.
She’s put up with a lot from him, so I am very glad he didn’t take half her money. I hate that every time she’s fallen in love, she gets her heart broken.
I respected Russell Brand a lot more when he didn’t go after Katy Perry’s money and same goes for my respect for Gavin now. I dislike people (men or women) who aggressively go after someone else’s money. Yes, you should get a certain amount if you have children etc, but sometimes people go too far (Brendan Fraser’s ex comes to mind).
Gwen has mega-secrets for Gavin so he knew he better not come for her money…
Has she ever been thinner? Think she’s wearing her stress. I really feel for her, actually. And strangely, Gwyneth Paltrow. I think it’s hard when you grow up in these families with either religious parents or just parents who’ve been together forever. You kinda take it for granted that that’s how it’ll be and when it’s not, man, it’s a hard blow. Especially when you loved the guy more.
I agree. She looks very thin.
I’ve notice she gotten thinner since she joined the Voice as well as noticeable cosmetic work.
Superficial comment: I actually really like Gwen’s face still. I can see that she has had work done, but since she’s always worn heavy and dramatic makeup I’ve always thought Gwen’s face had a bit of a “plastic” quality to it. Which isn’t bad at all, as it fits with her aesthetic.
She’s not that popular here but I’ve always loved Gwen. She brought something new to pop music with her solo career, I think. A refreshing, new aesthetic. She was different without screaming at the world how different she is like Gaga did (I like Gaga too, though). I remember watching the video for What You Waiting For? when I was in school and finding it so f*cking cool. It’s still one of my favorite music videos of all time.
She seems to have tones down the bright red lips and eyeliner. Its more subtle and flattering on her as she matures. She’s fabulous and I am sure she will enjoy the single life.
Same here.
I read in comments before that he cheated on her all the time. If so, what made her finally say – enough is enough?
He wanted the divorce, most likely, not her. It doesn’t appear he fought to save the marriage or anything
@jayna He seemed over it over the past few years. No one likes to be on a pedestal forever and that’s where she had him.
Where are you getting you information from that you know he didn’t fight for the marriage or that she did?
@Jayna..
they were in counseling for years IIRC..
Sometimes it takes one person to be strong enough to say It is over and walk away.
Maybe she was in deep denial and caught him with someone else?
Jayna, Her video for that song makes me uncomfortable. Lol.
that song and the video are the worst. She comes off as sad and clingy and closeup shots of her jacked up face are not helping either. Wish she would stop being so insecure, it totally goes against her impeccable style.
I agree. The video is horrible. What was she thinking?
Okay, I love Gwen Stefani, and I think she’s a gorgeous woman, but that bottom picture of her looks a lot like Bieber. I guess that says more about Bieber than it does Gwen. Also, man do those kids look a lot like their dad! 🙂
