Gavin Rossdale has dated –

1. Suze DeMarchi – Gavin had an affair with Australian singer and songwriter Suze DeMarchi in the late 1980s. It was reported that he had written the single, Glycerine for her. Also, it was rumored that Comedown from Bush’s 1994 album, Sixteen Stone was about their relationship.
2. Marilyn – Gavin had a relationship with British pop singer, Marilyn (full name Peter Robinson) in the 1980s. The first mention of their relationship was in Boy George’s biography. At that time, Gavin claimed it was a mere concocted story, which George wanted to use to boost his book sales. Then, in 2003, Marilyn dedicated a single, Hold on Tight to Gavin and to their passionate relationship. In 2009, Marilyn claimed that they had a five-year-long relationship before Gavin found success in the music industry. In 2010, Gavin also acknowledged their relationship but refuted that they had a long relationship. He claimed that at that time he was 17 years old and was experimenting.
3. Pearl Lowe – Gavin dated English designer Pearl Lowe in the past. There are some sources that claim they had a brief fling in 1988. While there are others that state they had a 5-year long on and off affair in the late-1980s. Pearl was married to fertility specialist Bronner Handwerger during their affair. In 2004, after a paternity test, it was revealed that Gavin was the father of her daughter, Daisy Lowe, who was born in 1989. However, the paternity test drove a wedge between Gavin and the mother and daughter and he severed all contact with them. However, he did eventually form a good bond with Daisy and they were later spotted together on numerous occasions.
4. Emily Lloyd (1990) – Gavin had a short-lived and a bit tragic affair with English actor Emily Lloyd in 1990. They had met through a mutual friend, Sacha Puttnam, who was the son of film producer David Puttnam. Emily would later recount that she felt an instant connection with him as soon as she met him. The problem was that the two other girls had felt the same at that time. One of those girls was Amy Fleetwood, who was also her friend. It was while conversing with her that she found Gavin was going out with Amy as well. When she confronted him, he owned up to it but claimed that his feeling was stronger for her. But when she asked to give Amy up, he refused to do so. One day, while she was waiting for Gavin at his flat, she became so depressed that she took aspirin tablets and slit her wrists.

7. Nicole Appleton (1999) – Gavin started going out with Canadian actor and singer Nicole Appleton in October 1999. The rumors of their relationship became public after they were spotted making out in a club in London. Nicole was also the cause of the furious spat Gavin had with singer Robbie Williams in November 1999 at a concert in New York City. Robbie was Appleton’s former flame and it is safe to say, he wasn’t impressed with her new beau.
8. Andrea Corr (2000) – Rossdale had an affair with Irish singer and musician, Andrea Corr in the summer of 2000. During the course of their affair, they were spotted at a number of public events and functions in London.

In February 2014, she gave birth to their third son, Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale. In August 2015, Gwen filed for divorce after she found out that Gavin was having an affair with their children’s nanny. She had reportedly found n*de images of their nanny on their home iPad.
