Elle magazine is celebrating women in music this month, and Gwen Stefani is their #1 "Gold Dust Woman."

The mag asked her questions on everything from sexy hubby Gavin, to belting out tunes on tour several months pregnant.

The No Doubt singer dished on her marriage to Rossdale: “The first time we ever kissed was right around Valentine’s Day—we were in New Orleans on tour. So, yeah, I always think about that because it’s unbelievable that we’ve been able to stay together. I feel so proud of us—it’s one of my biggest achievements.”

Aw!

We're so used to seeing Stefani baring her perfectly toned abs, it's hard to believe she ever had a bun in the oven. The singer said of performing pregnant: “It was horrible. Certain songs would make me want to puke. You feel pretty gross when you are first pregnant. You don’t feel cute, you feel disgusting. You’re getting fat. It was hard. I mean, I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual."

Gwen Vain Stefani ... hmm ... has a certain ring to it!
