Gwen and Gavin were married from 2002-2016

"I think you can go one of two ways," he said. "You can either do everything together and really co-parent, and see how it goes. Or you can just parent. I think we just 'parent'. We're really different people, I don't think there's much similarity in the way we bring them up."

Gavin credited their differing ideas on life and parenting for the diverse upbringing their three sons received. He continued: "I think that gives them 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.

The rocker is a doting dad to his three sons

"Because that's what's important, is to give them a wide view of things. 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."

Blake has dutifully stepped into his role as a step-dad

The 57-year-old rocker added: "I just know that wherever they are, in whichever house they are, they're loved and supported. And that's really what it comes down to, trying to help them realize what they want. The main thing is I'm really connected to them, that's what I want. It'd be so sad to be any other way."
