No Doubt: Gwen & Gavin Engaged!
The No Doubt singer, who recorded a song called "Marry Me" for the band's last album, is apparenly getting her wish--her longtime beau Gavin Rossdale has finally proposed.
Rossdale, frontman of the British post-Nirvana grunge band Bush, popped the question on New Year's morning and, according to a statement from Interscope Records, Stefani "happily accepted."
The two will set a date later this year, the label says.
While Stefani and Rossdale have been making beautiful music together for about six years, splitting time between her Hollywood Hills home and Rossdale's London digs when not touring with their respective bands, they had always dodged the "M" word.
On No Doubt's Rock Steady released in December Stefani directly addressed her relationship in such confessional songs as "Don't Let Me Down," and "In My Head." "Making Out" saw her pining for her long distance lover (written no doubt while Rossdale was out on the road with his band) and "Detective" spoke to fears about being two-timed.
Stefani seemingly prefers to keep Rossdale in her spiderweb. In the latest issue of Jane magazine, she discussed the temptation all rockers, including her beau, face from groupies. "I'm in a band, and I know who those girls are," she says. "I know exactly what goes on backstage.
"I [wish I] had a little leash to walk him around."
Maybe now that the 32-year-old Stefani--who made the bindi chic and became a sex symbol in the process--can stop obsessing.
Both No Doubt and Bush hit it big in 1995, with their respective albums Tragic Kingdom and Sixteen Stone. Stefani and Rossdale also hit it off that same year. They met backstage at a December 1995 concert for the Los Angeles radio station KROQ and have been a twosome ever since. Their groups, which at the time were on the same label, even toured together in 1996.
The Stefani-led band, whose hits include "Spiderwebs," "Just a Girl" and "Don't Speak," has had the greater success over the past years, even though the follow-up albums Return to Saturn and Rock Steady have failed to match the monster sales of Tragic Kingdom. Nonetheless, the band's latest single, "Hey, Baby," has been receiving heavy radio play and Rock Steady ranks 10th on Billboard's album charts this week.
Bush, frequently blasted by critics as a shameless Nirvana/Pearl Jam ripoff, has scored hits with "Everything Zen," "Little Things," "Comedown" and "Glycerine." Like No Doubt, the band's subsequent albums--Razorblade Suitcase, The Science of Things and Deconstructed--didn't live up to the promise of its debut disc saleswise, but the group did begin to earn critical respect.
Rossdale, 34, and his cohorts most recently released the upbeat Golden State.
Before the disc was released, however, the band had to scrap its cover art (the image of a plane in silhouette was deemed inappropriate in the wake of September 11), change the title of the song "Speed Kills" to the friendlier "The People That We Love," and alter a lyric in the song "Heaful of Ghosts," removing the line "I'm at my best when I'm a terrorist inside."
Now, Rossdale has apparently come to the conclusion he's at his best with Stefani by his side.
This will be the first marriage for both.
