Although it’s been tough, the star has shed most of the weight by nursing, exercising every day and eating healthy.

However, she laughs, "I cheat every day at least once!"

Gwen is promoting her new single, Wind It Up, the first since she’s become a mum.

She’s also planning a tour in April.

"I’m excited to go out there and have the baby on the outside," she admits (she was pregnant during her last tour).

"He’s the greatest thing in the world. There was no transition. It was just like ’where were you?’"

It sounds like little Kingston will also be following in his fashion guru mother’s footsteps, at least when it comes to his hair. He now sports a mini Mohawk.

"He finally has enough hair to do something with it," says Gwen.

"I was trying to give him some cooler looks."

Gwen pulled out of the MTV Video Music Awards - Aug 31, 2020
Gwen Stefani has pulled out of the MTV Video Music Awards - because she failed to win any top prizes last year. The ’Hollerback Girl’ singer is reportedly "boycotting" today’s prestigious event (31.08.06) after losing out on a host of awards in 2005 she was confident she would win.

A source told the New York Post newspaper: "Gwen had a ton of nominations and was under the impression that she would be taking home at least one award. But every award, except for that lame best-dressed award, went to Kelly Clarkson."

Gwen - who had her first son Kingston with husband Gavin Rossdale in May - is said to have felt "set up" by the producers last year, because they focused their cameras on her every time she failed to win an award. The source added: "Every time Kelly won, the camera went straight to Gwen.
She felt set up."

’Nacho Libre’ star Jack Black is hosting this year’s ceremony, which will be aired live from New York’s City Music Hall. A galaxy of music stars have been confirmed to perform, including Beyoncé Knowles, Justin Timberlake, The Killers and Jack White’s new band The Raconteurs.

Gwen’s new son - May 30, 2020
Gwen Stefani and husband Gavin Rossdale have named their new son Kingston James McGregor Rossdale. The ’No Doubt’ singer gave birth, via a Caesarean section, to the baby, who weighed a healthy 7.5 pounds, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre, Los Angeles, on Friday (26.05.06). The couple are said to still be in a state of euphoria following the arrival of their first child together.

One source said the 36-year-old star - who also runs her own fashion label L.A.M.B - arrived at the hospital "wearing her signature red lipstick and looked very excited". Her husband, lead singer of rock band Bush, apparently rushed out of the operation room to deliver the good news to anxious friends and family. A statement was issued by Gwen’s spokesman, Dave Tomberlin, stating: "Both mother and child are doing well."

Gwen confirmed her pregnancy while onstage for the final stop of her solo tour in Florida in mid-December last year (05). She said: "I want you to sing so loud that the baby hears it." Gavin already has a 16-year-old daughter with former lover British rock singer Pearl Lowe.
