Gwen Stefani talks love - Marie Claire October 2012

Gwen Stefani appears on the cover of the October issue of Marie Claire which hits newsstands Tuesday, September 18th. Below quotes from Gwen's interview with Marie Claire.


On rearing two high-energy boys just a few years apart in age: "From the moment they wake up, they start beating on each other. I never knew they would be so physical. They're just starting to play real well together, but with a lot of fighting. They do look out for each other - especially the little one, he really loves his older brother."

On what her 10 year anniversary with Gavin Rossdale represents: "A miracle...my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard." She continues: "[Marriage] is something that I always wanted to do successfully. It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together."

On her relationship with husband Gavin Rossdale: "[Our relationship] is better than it's ever been. Like, we're learning about each other all the time. He's an amazing dad, he works so hard - I can hear him writing songs through the wall, and it is at a much quicker pace than me!" Above all, she adds, "He balances me out. And he - he never stops liking me, which is awesome! It makes me feel happy, that someone likes me as much as he does."

On having a third child: "I really, really, really wanted one about two years ago. And it didn't really work out. So...I feel good with what we've got. Everything works out how it should. You can't plan anything, right? You can try."
