Thanks to Iamanodoubtfreak4ever: Gwen Stefani and family are featured in the current edition of OK! magazine (November 24th 2008), on shelves now!

Gwen’s personal album

Gwen Stefani is enjoying time with her boys, Kingston, 2, and 2-month-old Zuma, but she’s already planning her next venture, a coffee-table book of private pics.

“They’re photos of her family on tour and during her pregnancy, of intimate family moments,” a friend of Gwen, 39, tells OK!.

Like diaper duty? “I luck out,” said Gavin Rossdale, 40, joking to OK! about avoiding the chore at the 17th BAFTA/LA Britannia Awards on Nov. 6. “I glide left, but I am there if I need to be. There are other people better at it!”

I’ve transcribed the little feature from In Style magazine (November 19th 2008) which speculates that Gwen is wishing for a new baby girl!

Gwen wants a girl next!

She just gave birth two months ago, but Gwen Stefani is ready for another child - and this time, the mother of 2-year-old Kingston and newborn Zuma wants a daughter. “She plans to start trying to get pregnant soon in a way that will increase her odds of having a girl,” says a friend of Gwen’s, who reveals that the singer will chart her cycle and attempt to conceive a couple of days before ovulation, a method that supposedly results in more female babies. “Gwen heard about this from her ob-gyn and also read about it on the internet,” her pal says. “It’s not a surefire thing, but it usually works.” so how does husband, Gavin Rossdale, feel about adding to the family so soon? “One is one and two is 10,” the rocker told In Touch at the VH1 Save the Music Foundation benefit in LA on October 25. But they’re ready: “We’ve got it down now, it’s not that bad,” he added.

But Kingston is jealous!

One member of the family is not too happy about the new addition - big brother Kingston. “It’s like, here is this guy, and he’s not leaving,” Gavin, 43, tells In Touch. “Obviously, he’s bugged out that someone else is in his spot with his mom.”

Gavin Rossdale was featured in the Metro UK (free newspaper) today talking about the Stefani-Rossdale’s latest arrival; Zuma Rock. (Scans coming soon!)

Rocker loves his ‘chilled’ baby

British rocker Gavin Rossdale is pleased his second son Zuma is ‘chilled out’. The 43-year-old says the baby is ’super mellow and Buddha-like’ at two months old. But the former Bush frontman said mother Gwen Stefani finds him harder work than their first baby, Kingston, now aged two.

Gwen’s baby weight panic

When Gwen Stefani was carrying her son Zuma, she gained an estimated 45 pounds - and often joked to friends that she was “huge.” But insiders tell InTouch that the pop star’s jabs at herself were no laughing matter. “Gwen was very insecure during her pregnancy with Zuma. She thought she wasn’t sexy,” reveals an insider. “She would look at pictures in magazines and comment on how skinny other women were. Being pregnant was a blessing, but it also was very hard to let her body go.”

Gwen’s husband, Gavin Rossdale, 40, admitted recently that she feels pressure to get her sexy body back. “It’s very hard because everyone’s so judged,” he said. Read the rest of this article »

It’s a Boy!

Kingston, meet your little brother! Stefani and Rossdale welcome a second son in LA via C-section.

Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale

Born: August 21, 2008 Los Angeles

Weight: 8 1/2 pounds

“You ready to take your baby home?” Gwen Stefani asked her 2-year-old son, Kingston. The singer, in a long black robe and her hair in a ponytail, and her husband Gavin Rossdale were rolling their new baby boy in a bassinet out of the nursery of LA’s Cedars-Sinai Medical Center August 24. Kingston seemed more than ready to assume his new role as big brother to Zuma Nesta Rock, who had arrived three days earlier, referring to the newborn as “my baby.” Read the rest of this article »

Gwen Stefani talks babies

As their happy family grows to four with the birth of Zuma Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale share their thoughts on parenthood and marriage.

Gwen Stefani and her rock star husband Gavin Rossdale were the picture of contentment as they brought baby Zuma Nesta Rock back to their Los Angeles home last week after his birth at the Cedar Sinai Medical Center.

The new arrival, whose unusual first name is thought to be inspired by a beach near their home, is a brother for two-year-old Kingston. It means the 38-year-old pop star has to meet the demands of two small children at the same time as recovering from a Cesarean, but Gwen insists she’s happier than ever. Motherhood, she says, is “one of the most incredible events in my life”. Read the rest of this article »

Gwen calls baby Zuma Nesta Rock (WE THINK IT’S A BOY)

Gwen Stefani has given birth to her second child — and given it one Aztec of a silly name.
The singer and rocker hubby Gavin Rossdale have named the little mite Zuma Nesta Rock.
The couple have followed in the fashion for crazy names for celebrity tots with the moniker, which has Aztec origins.
The tot — born in Los Angeles on Thursday at eight pounds — is brother to Kingston, two.

Gwen, 38, and Bush frontman Gavin, 42, released a statement yesterday which read: “Mother and baby and family are all happy and healthy.”
Speculation surrounding the unusual names last night.
The name Zuma means Lord Frowns in Anger, though it is a short form of Montezuma, the fifth Aztec emperor. But it is also the name of a Japanese restaurant in London where the couple live. Nesta was reggae legend Bob Marley’s middle name. And Rock is… well, what both parents do for a living.
The tot is latest silly celeb name casualty, after Jordan’s girl Princess Tiaamii, Gwyneth Paltrow’s Apple and Geri Halliwell’s Bluebell Madonna and the Beckham kids, Romeo, Brooklyn and Cruz.

The Mirror, page 17 (3am gossip column)

Oh no… Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have called their newborn girl Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale. Zuma joins the couple’s other son, Kingston. What with Nesta being Bob Marley’s name and Kingston being the capital of Jamaica, we reckon Gwen must be creating a new baby reggae band.
Or maybe she is just hoping for “No baby, no cry”.

‘Our relationship is crazy!’

As Gwen Stefani, 38, prepares to have her second child with rocker hubby Gavin Rossdale, 42, she tells us she’s happier than ever.

Gwen Stefani

So, you’re ready to pop! We’ve got hot water and towels ready! Are you scared of becoming a mum for the second time?
No, I’m very happy now. I love being with my son Kingston and taking care of him. I can’t wait to do it all again.

Babies tend to strain relationships, so did it change your marriage to Gavin?
No, it’s good we have something together outside our crazy relationship! [Laughs] I feel we’re closer in many ways now we have a child. We’ve both become more romantic and caring for each other. Read the rest of this article »

Thanks to ImJustAGirlInMontreal and TooLate88 for the scans.

This week’s Life & Style magazine USA features an interview with Gavin Rossdale talking about his marriage to Gwen Stefani and family life with Kingston. The feature also has a full page photograph of Gwen, Gavin and Kingston’s day out in LA on the April 6th.

What’s it like to have been married to Gwen for the past five years?
I enjoy having an independent wife who goes out and does her thing. It’s inspiring.

Gwen and Gavin are featured in this week’s Star magazine in the UK (dated May 19th 2008) with a photograph from their trip to Santa Barbara Pier in California on April 25th. There are more candids from this day at Celebrity Gossip.

Smooth Sailing

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale enjoy a walk on the pier in sunny Santa Barbara. Things are going smoothly once again for Gwen, 38, after some initial discomfort during the pregnancy of her second child. “It was really tough for her, and she was really tired and really suffering,” says hubby Gavin, 42. “It was hard, but now she’s blossoming and in great shape. I think the second one is going to be really hard. I’m just trying to be right there for her and help her through it.” Gwen and Gavin expect a little brother or sister for 23-month-old Kingston in July.
