Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale finalise divorce
Gwen Stefani is officially single again after her divorce from rocker Gavin Rossdale was finalised by a Los Angeles judge.
The No Doubt star filed for divorce in August (15) after separating from the Bush frontman, her husband of nearly 13 years, and on 8 April (16), a judge approved their settlement.
According to documents obtained by TMZ.com, Gwen and Gavin will
have joint physical and legal custody of their three sons Kingston,
nine, Zuma, seven, and Apollo, two, and they both agreed neither
will get child or spousal support payments.
The former couple did not have a prenuptial agreement, so although
Gavin was entitled to receive half of the assets they acquired
during the marriage, he opted against taking money she earned
through concert and record sales. Gavin will maintain music rights
for his band Bush, while Gwen will also retain interest in her
band, as well as her successful fashion lines L.A.M.B. and Harajuku
Lovers.
In addition, Gwen has given up her rights to any of the former
couple's four properties in Europe, but she will get half the
profits from the sale of their Beverly Hills estate, as well as
full control over two other homes in Los Angeles.
Gwen stunned fans when she announced the separation in August, amid
rumours of Gavin's infidelity, but she has since found love again
with Blake Shelton, her fellow coach on talent show The Voice.
The country star also hit headlines last summer (15) when he and
his wife Miranda Lambert split and quietly divorced.
Gwen recently admitted she is still reeling from the heartbreak of
her marriage split, but she is staying positive and moving forward
as best she can.
"It's still painful, I'm still looking at the pieces going, 'What
is happening?,'" she recently told breakfast show Good Morning
America. "There's so many great things, but it's still super hard
to, like, have your family break up. What do you do after that?
"I have gone through a lot but I feel like, you have to be grateful
for that, because if I didn't do that, then I wouldn't have this,
and it's like, you have to be grateful for all of it."
