GWEN STEFANI, GAVIN ROSSDALE-DIVORCE

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Gwen Stefani and husband, Gavin Rossdale from the band Bush, are getting a divorce. Stefani cites irreconcilable differences in her divorce filing with a Los Angeles court. Stefani and Rossdale have been married 13 years and have three sons. A joint statement from the former couple says they've "come to the mutual decision" to "no longer be partners in marriage." The statement adds they "remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising" their sons in "a happy and healthy environment." Stefani is a judge on NBC's "The Voice." She and Rossdale met in the mid-1990s but never worked on a music project together until collaborating on "The Voice" last year. She says it was "awkward." Stefani said at the time that they had "only collaborated on making babies."
