Stefani saw explicit texts and nude photos between Rossdale and one of their nannies.

“One of the other nannies discovered the exchange and told Gwen.” After firing Rossdale’s lover, Stefani and Rossdale swiftly divorced him. Stefani moved on to country music star, Blake Shelton, once she started judging on The Voice.
