Gwen Stefani Hit "Rock Bottom," Was "So Embarrassed" After Gavin Rossdale Cheating Scandal

Gwen Stefani sat down with CBS Sunday Morning for an interview airing March 20, and the 46-year-old singer got candid about her divorce from ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, who cheated on her with their former nanny Mindy Mann.

"I had no skin, it was so raw, you know what I mean?" Stefani told CBS' Lee Cowan. "And nobody knew what was happening and I had this big secret. During that time period, I felt like, I was down all the way. Like you don’t go down lower than that. It was rock bottom. I was so embarrassed, you know what I mean? I was like, ‘Wow, I can’t. I have to turn this into something. I can’t go down like this. Like, if I can do music, then maybe just everything will be OK.'"

“In all this craziness that happened, like unexpected horribleness, I found a friend who was going through literally the exact same thing as me, and that is a miracle, you know,” Stefani said of her relationship with Blake Shelton. “And it just saved me so much, and I feel so grateful for that.”

"I don’t feel like I have anything to be ashamed of," she concluded. "I’ve done nothing wrong. I don’t feel like I have anything to protect about myself. But when you’re a mother, you have to have some boundaries."
