Gavin Rossdale Cheated on Gwen Stefani With Mindy Mann, Their family Nanny
It was a devastating ending for Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale. The couple's 13-year marriage ended because of adultery: Rossdale's three-year relationship with the family's longtime nanny, Mindy Mann.
Back in February, Stefani, 46, uncovered Rossdale's long-term affair with Mindy Mann, who cared for the couple's three sons, Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 20 months.
According to a source, Stefani became suspicious when photos of the Bush rocker and Mann emerged in November 2012, with Rossdale touching their nanny's backside as they hiked with two of the couple's three sons, Kingston and Zuma, in L.A.
More than that, Mann also began to post pictures on social media dressed in a similar way as Gwen. The blonde-haired Australian shared a selfie back in 2013 that showed her platinum locks swept back in a black bandanna, just like one of Stefani's red-carpet looks. Gwen had an uncomfortable feeling when she became aware of the nanny's copycat ways.
At the time, No Doubt's Stefani discovered explicit texts between Rossdale and the nanny, including bare skinned photos of Mann and their plans to meet up for intercourse on the family's iPad that was linked to Gavin's phone. One of the other nannies discovered the exchange and told Gwen.
Mann was soon fired, but the Bush rocker, 50, insisted to Stefani that the exchange was simply "flirtation". When he finally confessed to the affair months later, the "Used to Love You" singer made the decision to end their marriage. The couple announced their plans to divorce in August.
The admission completely devastated Gwen Stefani. Gwen was mortified, livid, and embarrassed. The sexual relationship lasted for more than three years, including the time period when Stefani was pregnant with Apollo.
Stefani has moved on from Rossdale with her new romance, Blake Shelton, Stefani's The Voice co-star.
