Did rocker Gavin Rossdale do a Ben Affleck? Insiders recently revealed that the failure of Rossdale and "The Voice" coach Gwen Stefani's marriage is down to him cheating with the family nanny, US Weekly said.
Interestingly, the nanny in question, Mindy Mann, has been observed mimicking the singer's style, which somehow could be taken as a clue that things were bound to take a rather bad turn for the couple.
"Back in February, Stefani, 46, uncovered Rossdale's long-term affair with Mann, who cared for the couple's three sons, Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and Apollo, 20 months," the publication said. "At the time, the No Doubt frontwoman discovered explicit texts between Rossdale and the nanny - including nude photos of Mann and their plans to meet up for sex - on the family's iPad."
A source close to the family revealed that the tabled was linked to the Bush frontman's phone.
"One of the other nannies discovered the exchange and told Gwen," the mole shared.
Naturally, the 46-year-old fired Mann after the discovery. However, her husband of 13 years told Stefani that he was only flirting with the help. After a couple of months, he finally told the truth, to the "Used to Love You" singer's devastation.
The affair reportedly lasted more than three years, spanning the period when Stefani was still pregnant with their youngest child.
"For Gwen, it was apparently not just the affair that broke her, but also the fact her husband had been having it with a woman she knew and trusted," MailOnline noted.
Stefani later filed for divorce on August 3, the publication added. It was finalized in October this year.
Currently, Stefani has been linked to fellow "The Voice" judge Blake Shelton, as the two had been spotted attending an event together during Halloween weekend and being more tactile with each other than normally expected.
Stefani, however, appeared to deny the rumors by saying that she "never said nothin' about being in a new relationship," according to E! News.
"I don't know who said that but somebody did, and then my kid came in last night to tell me about it," she explained. "That's how crazy my life is. People can just say whatever they want and then they can just believe it."
"My truth is 'Used to Love You,' that's the song. That's what I said and I feel really fine about sharing that, and I feel honored to share it," she went on. "But, I mean, all the other stuff is just craziness. I mean, literally craziness. Hilarious. Hilarious!" she said of the rumors.
