Gwen Stefani only had two boyfriends - Aug 05
Gwen Stefani has only ever had two boyfriends. The sexy singer claims she has only ever romanced her current husband Gavin Rossdale and her No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal. She confessed to Britain’s Bliss magazine: "I’ve only had two boyfriends in my life, you know." However, Gwen admits she once had a fling with the keyboard player of ’80s rock band Fishbone, who she claims tried to take things further than she wanted. She revealed: "I once made out with the keyboard player from Fishbone and he tried to take advantage of the situation, and I was not about to let him."

Meanwhile, Gwen is reportedly set to snub the MTV Video Music Awards - because she wasn’t asked to perform. Despite being nominated for six trophies, sources claim the sexy singer is planning to boycott the Miami ceremony later this month because she wasn’t invited to sing. An MTV spokesperson told America’s New York Daily News newspaper: "We love Gwen and we hope she will be able to join us, as we know her fans would love to see her on this big night - especially since she’s heavily nominated."

Biography

Born on October 3 1969 in Orange County, California, Gwen Stefani grew up listening to the Ska and Punk music which was so popular in the So Cal area at the time. It was older brother Eric that really turned Gwen’s musical dreams in to reality, asking her to join a band he had started with friend John Spence, with whom she would share lead vocals. They called themselves No Doubt and invited Tony Kanal to join.

However, in 1987 Spence committed suicide and Gwen was left to take over as the band’s only vocalist, a role which she juggled with college studies and a romance with Kanal. No Doubt gained a solid following in the local area and when Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ Flea recorded a demo for the band it was only a matter of time before they signed a deal.

Although their eponymous debut album and the follow up, The Beacon Street Collection, were seen as something of a failure by their record company, No Doubt’s third try, Tragic Kingdom (recorded without Eric, who had left to become an animator on The Simpsons), became a hit thanks mostly to stand out single Don’t Speak It was at this time that the rest of the band were pushed to the sidelines as the press and public focused increasingly on Gwen who, having split with Tony, was romantically linked with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.

Two more albums followed the success of Tragic Kingdom – Return of Saturn and Rock Steady – but it was Gwen the world was interested in as she dueted with rapper Eve, featured on Moby’s Southside and married Gavin in a 2002 ceremony in London. While No Doubt took a break Gwen hooked up with writer Linda Perry and a house-full of collaborators for her debut solo album Love Angel Music Baby, which sold millions on the strength of the fantastic What You Waiting For?

While Gwen’s professional life was on the up – she launched L.A.M.B, her own clothing range and appeared in Martin Scorcese’s The Aviator as silver screen icon Jean Harlow – her personal life seemed to be taking a turn for the worse when it was revealed that her husband had a secret lovechild with tabloid favourite Pearl Lowe (she of the Sadie/Jude wife swapping revelations). However Gwen has vowed to stand by her man and is even talking of starting a family of her own…we just hope parenthood doesn’t stop her wearing those fantastic fairytale outfits in public.
