In June 2023, Gavin Rossdale shared an update on how co-parenting has been going for him, and it was far from hella good. On the “Not So Hollywood” podcast, Rossdale said that he and Gwen Stefani aren’t actually co-parenting at all. Because of their ideological differences, each parent has apparently decided to do their own thing whenever it’s their turn to have custody of their sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. Rossdale doesn’t believe this is necessarily a bad thing. “We’re really different people … I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up, but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with,” he said.

Rossdale didn’t elaborate on the different viewpoints that he and Stefani share, but when they attended mediation in 2018, People reported that it was related to the exes’ views on religion. Stefani has been outspoken about how important her faith is to her and how it influenced the music she made after her divorce. While speaking to Time about recording her album “This Is What the Truth Feels Like,” she recalled thinking, “I’m channeling God, this is saving my life.” As for Rossdale, he’s not religious. “I could never deal with the God thing, even from a young age,” he said on the “POV with Gwen Singer” podcast. “It just made no sense to me.”
