Gavin Rossdale calls splitting custody with Gwen Stefani during quarantine a ‘dilemma’ after bitter exes’ awkward run-in
GAVIN Rossdale has opened up on the struggles facing parents with split custody, as he admits he hasn’t seen his children in nearly two weeks.
The Bush frontman shares three children with ex-wife Gwen Stefani but speaking on SiriusXM, he shared that the Los Angeles lockdown means they are now with their mom for the foreseeable future.
) )we are all far from perfect – maybe you’re better than me- well thankyou for blazing the trail- we catching you up – we passing you on our own terms -we take no prisoners – i love my kids beyond the stars – i love my friends -i love my band -i love my family – mama 
-we love chewy “They went to Oklahoma and they’re on a ten-thousand-acre ranch, and I think it’s ok for now,” he said, “but it’s a real big dilemma for parents and kids with split custody.”
“You’re mindful of them. I know who’s around me and know who’s bringing the corona – no one – but you send your kids out and now they’re coming back to you and now you’re prone to whoever they’re with, so it’s a tricky one with all divorced parents,” he said.
The 54-year-old added: “I miss them, and they should be back. I have them the first week and then I haven’t had them for ten or 11 days, and that’s a long time, normally I have them every five days or something.”
“At first you could be selfish, ‘cool, play that guitar more’,” he joked, “but now I’m like, ‘I prefer it when they’re around’.”
He said the family are enjoying a “lot of FaceTime though” although he acknowledged “kids don’t want to FaceTime”.
Gwen, 50, and Gavin finalized their divorce in 2016, after 14 years of marriage, when the pop singer learned of her husband’s alleged affair with their nanny.
The two — who share sons Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 5 — are still not on good terms and recent pictures revealed that they made sure to stay as far from each other as they supported Kingston at a soccer match.
Gwen sat with boyfriend of four years Blake Shelton, 43, and two of her sons in the top corner of the bleachers, while Gavin stood by himself down at the bottom of the steps.
