Gwen Stefani: a love story

In the complete fairness of the statement, which says: "All that is done, for the better!" - an American singer, songwriter and producer Gwen Stefani, was able to verify on her own experience. The love drama, which the singer had to endure, became for her a powerful stimulus to creativity and helped to find her own way in life.


This bright blonde with searing brown eyes quite harmoniously combines devotion to the family, loving a woman and a real bully. But whatever image Gwen chooses, she in each of them looks natural and does only what her soul desires.

It is very difficult to fit in the head of the idea that since childhood, the girl dreamed of a career housewife. Born Gwen Renee Stefani October 3, 1969 in South California. The father of the future celebrity was a specialist in marketing, mother - an assistant dentist, but after she got married, she had to leave work and devote herself to raising children. All children grew up together and were not deprived of love. Besides Gwen, there were three other children in the family - the Todd brothers and Eric and Sister Jill. Just at that time the girl could not imagine herself to anyone else, except as a happy mother of a large and friendly family. As the singer herself recalls: "As a child, I told everyone that I dream of becoming a wife. And she always drew herself dressed in a wedding dress! ".

In her youth, a full-blown brunette was able to try all the "joys" of teenage on herself. Suffering from congenital and hereditary dyslexia (inability to master reading) the girl fell into a lot of problems in her studies. By the way, classmates did not much talk Gwen and nicknamed her Frog. Yes, and the first love ended in an negative experience: the boy with whom Gwen met during the rest and which she greatly liked, and did not respond to any of her letters ...

The power of the senses

Gwen's older brother, Eric, together with his friend John in1986 created a sca-band. Eric in this group was a keyboard player, John sang. The couple had only to find a candidate for the place of backing vocalist. And the persuasive persuasion took this place, already well-grown thin and now become a bright blonde, Gwen. John offered to give the band the name "Know-Down", which in translation means "without a doubt" and, by the way, is the favorite expression of Brother Gwen. At the first stage the central position in the group was occupied by the guys, and the girl was in the shadows, but soon everything changed radically.

One fine day in the house of Stephanie appeared a dark-looking pair who came on an announcement about the search for a group of musicians. I'm sorry for this guy Tony Kanela. The guy had everything he could ever dream about: a strong character, a business grasp, a beautiful appearance and a huge passion for music. 17-year-old Gwen immediately fell in love with him, because of what she completely changed: "I just stopped being a passive person. Has started to write songs, with the purpose to express the feelings. I helped love! ".

After some time, Tony drew attention to the girl and the uni ties began, which the couple decided not to keep in secret. Secretpairs became known only after a couple of months and the reason was very unfavorable circumstances: John Spence, who was the soloist of the band, committed suicide and the group was on the verge of collapse. At that moment, the lovers told everyone about their relationship, to which Gwen's brother, Erik reacted with a negative, believing that this novel would completely put an end to the existence of the group.

Connecting link

The group still managed to survive. After the break the musicians gathered together, and the place of the main soloist went to Gwen. The girl tried to support her colleagues in every possible way, giving them faith in future glory.

At each of the concerts, the audience felt incredible energy, which came from a burning blonde with bright make-up. The new "look" of the band and new notes of their songs fell to the bite of one of the recording studios, which immediately signed a contract with them.

The band's first album was released in 1992, but it never had a special success. Constant tours and "warm-up" speeches were staggeringly exhausting the soloists of the band. But despite all this, the girl shone with happiness, being next to her beloved, who did not develop in the image of her husband and the father of their joint children. But Tony was not attracted to the prospects of the future - his music was the meaning of his life, and he simply allowed himself to love. In 1994, he broke off relations with Gwen, explaining this by wanting to enjoy freedom.

Broken heart

The singer was plunged into depression and all her emotions she showed in new songs. "After parting, I realized that I have something to tell. Good songs are born at a time when everything is not so smooth in life, "Gwen said. So there was a ballad about unrequited love "Dont Speak", and the third album of the band, which was written during this period, became platinum and won first place in the charts, receiving 2 nominations for "Grammy". Creativity helped heal a broken heart little girl could become a new person.

Infrequent Joy

When the singer did not even think about her personal life, she found a new love. In 1995, at one of the joint concerts, Gwen met the group's "Bush" soloist Gueven Rosdale, who when he met loudly said: "You are beautiful!".

The music people had a lot in common: he liked to express his feelings with the same music and completely gave himself to work. The parents of Guevin divorced when he was 11 years old, but he still did not dream of a happy family. The lovers quarreled only once, and in this week's tiff Gwen was dyed pink.

The couple managed to adequately withstand the "test" seven-year period, and in 2002 they were married. It happened on September 14 in the presence of 130 guests in one of the London churches of St. Paul, and two weeks later, the couple were married in Los Angeles. As the newlyweds said later: "To be married is the most beautiful thing that only can be in the life of two lovers of people. We feel that the wedding has only helped to strengthen our feelings! ".

Deceit and Love

Everything was fine, but in October 2004, when there was very little left before the solo album was released, Gwen found out that her spouse had an illegitimate daughter ... The press just smacked these details: Gueven Rosdalem had a relationship with the designer of Pearl's clothes a dozen years ago, but their romance He did not stand the test of time.

Gwen from this news was in real shock and she did not know what to do. And then it can be fully understood - not only that she learned about the existence of her daughter, so still her personal life became a universal objectobject. A threat looms over the marriage!

Love. Angel.Muzyka. Children

Whatever it was, but the starry marriage still managed to escape. Lovers are determined to leave everything in the past and live a new life. The first pleasant thing in this new life was the birth of a child on May 26, 2006. The boy was given the name Kingston James McGregor. By the way, in the period of pregnancy Stephanie did not want to interrupt her tour and came out on stage already the fourth month and practically to the very birth she led an active social life.

August 20, 2008 Gwen gives her husband another son - Zuma Nesta Roca. Having two children, the singer for the first time in her life can claim that she has everything a real woman can dream about: a strong and united family, a successful career, opportunities for creative realization. And who knows what would have happened if Gwen had never experienced an unhappy love with Tony Kenil? Stephanie always with nostalgia and the warmth recalls those feelings that helped her to find herself and the path of her own!
