Gavin Rossdale is father to four children including three sons whom he welcomed with Gwen Stefani, but the Bush rocker has now admitted that he doesn't believe he has "found a balance" between work and raising children.
"Everything has its price. The biggest cost is my kids — I missed the first [high school football] game," Gavin revealed during an interview with People magazine, sharing that at the age of 58 he had yet to find a balance.
"My priority is my kids. I’m really focused and present and just trying to build something worthwhile [that I can] share with my family, and so I am always working,” he added.

"Anyway, he sang me a song last night and it was incredible from top to bottom and just a beautiful pitch, melody, voice, tone, knew all the words," he gushed, revealing how he had a sneak peek performance. "I was floored. It's great."

The children split their time between living with their mom and stepdad Blake Shelton in Los Angeles and Oklahoma, and at their dad's home in Malibu. They have very different parenting styles, however, and Gavin has shared in the past that there is very little "similarity in the way we bring them up".
"I think that gives [the boys] an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they'd really like to inherit and move on with, and which part comes out of the whole process. Because that's what's important, is to give them a wide view of things," he said.
"We definitely have some particularly opposing views and it'd be really helpful for them to make their own minds, as they should, as individuals."

Gavin took the boys to meet their niece and shared that they were "great" with the baby, adding that although becoming a grandad was a hit to his ego at first, seeing his family grow has filled him "with happiness".
"It's just great when you get these moments where things come together. So for me to be patriarchal in a real sense, you know what I mean? It's just fantastic," he said.
