Last year, Gavin shared the sad news that his beloved Pomeranian, Chewy McGregor Rossdale, had passed away at the age of 12. 

At the time, he said they were all devastated and wrote a tribute to him on social media.

"This is the last post I ever wanted to write. So regretfully…" before adding: "We buried Chewy today. We lost him suddenly a few days ago. It's been a rough few days."

He continued: "Me and the fam are pretty heartbroken," and noted: "The house feels different, all his spots are vacant and the floor has no life."

Gavin called him "my absolute little furry bestie," and said he'll never stop thinking about him before adding: "Love your pets. Love your people. Love yourself better."

While Chewy won't be forgotten, it looks like the family are ready to love another pet. 

Gavin's girlfriend, Xhoana X, commented on the post about Kaye and wrote: "We love him so much."

It's been a tough time for Gavin recently as his mother, Barbara died in early February, but he's had the support of his loved ones.

He's incredibly close to his children, including his three sons and his daughter Daisy Lowe. 

While Gavin and Gwen are divorced, they strive to co-parent their kids successfully.

Gavin opened up about raising their children in two different households during an appearance on Not so Hollywood podcast when he said: "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."

1. Love story

Gwen Stefani met her husband, country singer Blake Shelton, in 2014 while they were both coaches on season seven on The Voice. They began dating the following year and got married in June 2021. 

2. Acting dreams

Gwen revealed on The Ellen Show that she auditioned for the lead role in the action-comedy film, Mr & Mrs Smith (2005). While Gwen has appeared in several films, the role ultimately went to Angelina Jolie. 

3. Beauty secret

One of Gwen's beauty secrets is that she rarely uses a makeup artist. In a 2022 interview with Glamour, Gwen shared that she usually prefers to do her makeup. In fact, she once stepped in last minute to do her glam for the Met Gala. 

4. Harajuku girls 

Throughout her career, Gwen has faced controversy over her music videos, particularly for her use of four Harajuku girl backup dancers. She received criticism for cultural appropriation but explained to TIME in 2014: ''There’s always going to be two sides to everything. For me, everything that I did with the Harajuku Girls was just a pure compliment and being a fan… Seriously, that was all meant out of love.'' 

5. Promoting prayer

Gwen has partnered with the Hallow app to promote her Catholic faith, using her platform to encourage others to connect with their spirituality. She has been promoting the prayer app on Instagram encouraging her fans to take part. 

Gavin ultimately maintained that: "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."
