Why Gwen Stefani And Gavin Rossdale 'Don't Co-Parent'
In an interview with the Not So Hollywood podcast in June 2023, Rossdale admitted that he and Stefani "do not co-parent" due to their opposing views, which he thinks offer their children an "implausible perspective." He then noted that they "simply father or mother."
"I believe you'll go one of two ways – you'll both do the whole lot in combination and in reality co-parent, and see how that is going – or you can simply dad or mum. And I think we just dad or mum," the musician explained.
He went on to say that "there may be [now not] much similarity in the way in which we convey them up but I think that gives them an improbable point of view to then choose which pieces of the ones two lives they might like to inherit and transfer on with and which a part of themselves come out of the entire procedure."
He continued: "Because that's what's necessary is to give them a large view of things and we certainly have some particularly opposing perspectives so I think it might be actually useful for them to make their own minds as folks."
