Gwen Stefani Speaks Out About First Love

Contrary to the song that she wrote about the break-up, 'Don't Speak,' the No Doubt singer has opened up about her first love Tony Kanal.

Despite having a gorgeous rock star hubby in the form of Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stefani has revealed that she thought she would be spending her life with another man.

The singer has admitted that she had always thought she would walk down the aisle with her first love Tony Kanal, who is No Doubt’s bassist.

No Doubt band mates Gwen and Tony used to be an item.

According to Contactmusic, she said: ‘That first love you have is so huge and it was, like, so overwhelming and I remember defining myself by that.

‘I was so inspired by this love there was just nothing else. I wanted to get married, I wanted to have babies.’

But it wasn’t to be as Gwen and Tony eventually went their separate ways. It wasn’t all bad as the break-up not only inspired the hit song ‘Don’t Speak’ but also made Gwen the person she is today.

‘It was such a short dream. I didn’t realise there is so much more out there,’ she explained before adding: ‘I think that’s the thing – discovering I had something I’m passionate about and I think I’m good at. That defines me now.’

While we’re not sure what her current other half will think of her confession, we reckon it’s nice to see a celebrity being so honest don’t you?
