A notable chapter in the lives of musicians Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale concluded with their divorce in 2016. Now, years later, Rossdale reflects candidly on his parenting journey post-split and acknowledges the support he received from an unexpected ally. The former couple shares three sons, each navigating different stages of life. In the aftermath of their separation, Rossdale faced the daunting task of managing parenthood without Stefani by his side during his custody periods.

Rossdale highlights how actor Jack McBrayer became an integral part of his family's celebrations. Renowned for his role in "30 Rock," McBrayer has consistently participated in holiday gatherings with Rossdale and his children, offering both companionship and humor. This unique friendship blossomed as McBrayer integrated seamlessly into family traditions, even playfully billing Rossdale for his attendance at one Thanksgiving event. Beyond this lighthearted anecdote, Rossdale emphasizes McBrayer's profound impact on his life during challenging times.

Rossdale met Stefani over two decades ago when their respective bands crossed paths. Their union was marked by milestones—marriage, the birth of their first child, and shared experiences in Los Angeles. Despite their eventual separation, Rossdale fondly recalls Stefani's contributions to their home life, particularly her thoughtful design of their nursery. He reminisces about the vibrant New Year’s Eve parties they hosted, symbolizing a period brimming with joy and success. Moving forward, both have found new partners, yet their mutual respect endures, reflecting positively on the resilience and adaptability within their story.
