Gwen Stefani recently revealed her 13 yr old marriage with Gavin Rossdale and the split was completely 'unexpected'. And it has now been known that Gavin was cheating on Gwen for three years with their family nanny Mindy Mann, who was charged with looking after their three sons
Kingston, nine, Zuma, seven, and Apollo, 20 months. The new issue of Us Weekly claims the Bush rocker initially denied having an affair with the child minder after another one of their nannies supposedly discovered messages and nude photos on the family's iPad and informed Gwen.  MailOnline has contacted both Gwen and Gavin's spokespeople for comment. Gavin, 50, is said to have initially brushed the messages off as 'flirtation', before allegedly confessing to adultery months later, the magazine reports. It 'completely devastated Gwen Stefani ,' a source told Us. 'She was mortified, livid, and embarrassed.' The supposed liaison is alleged to have lasted for more than three years, including the period when Gwen was pregnant with their youngest child Apollo. 'This was done right under Gwen’s nose.' According to the publication, the singer confronted her husband about his affair on February 9 this year. When he confessed, she knew their marriage was over. The magazine details that  Mindy sent Gavin several nude photos of herself, and the texts also included arrangements for her and Gavin to meet up and have sex. For Gwen, it was apparently not just the affair that broke her, but also the fact her husband had been having it with a woman she knew and trusted, who looked after their children. Mindy was fired as soon as the singer had confronted her husband. Gwen first employed the nanny back in 2008 - she started working with the family as a fill in and then became permanent. The blonde seemed delighted to be in the couple's household - according to a family source, she 'began to post pictures on social media dressed in a similar way to Gwen.'  In 2012, pictures emerged of Mindy and Gavin on a hike together - he was seen touching her backside as they walked. Gwen was understandably upset by the images - a source told the magazine her suspicions were aroused. Meanwhile insiders in Gavin's circle explained away the seemingly intimate gesture by telling the press the girl in the photos was the rocker's sister - Soraya . However it was Mindy - and she and Gavin were already allegedly in the throes of an affair. Friends and those close to Gwen tried to be discreet - but it was apparently obvious that Mindy and Gavin were more than just employer and employee. Gwen, who has a strong Catholic faith, was determined to keep her marriage together for the sake of her children, and also because she did not believe in divorce. It wasn't until the blonde singer discovered the text messages and photos, that she had proof she couldn't ignore.
