Gavin Rossdale is spending time with his family.
The rocker, 56, shared a rare picture of himself with his four children, daughter Daisy Lowe, 33, and sons Kingston, 16, Zuma, 13, and Apollo, eight.
“Welcome to my world… the best few weeks at home with my better versions of me… oh the joy they bring… and yes, there’s some gum on the bottom left… and our superhero, Apollo.” My love is actually the size of an ocean,” Gavin captioned the shot.

Zuma stood near the back as he flashed a wide grin.

Daisy was the result of a one-night stand and the fact that Gavin is her father only came to light when a 2004 paternity test uncovered the truth.
In her memoir All That Glitters, Pearl wrote that Gavin, who had been Daisy’s godfather, had a cold response to a request for a paternity test.
Pearl, who once had a drug addiction, wrote, “I received a letter from him implying that I was trying to ruin his life and specifically accusing me of ruining my own.”

She added that ‘Daisy held out with Gavin after the paternity test, determined to start some kind of relationship and things got better. From time to time he would invite her to his home.”
A few years later, in 2010, Daisy later told the Evening Standard: “I have a really good relationship with my father now. It bloomed last year, but it really happened over Christmas. We need to spend time together. He has two beautiful children who I really adore and his wife is beautiful.”
At the time, Gavin was married to fellow No Doubt bandmate Gwen Stefani — a relationship that ended in divorce in 2016.
Gwen is now married to country musician Blake Shelton, who was named People magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive a few years ago.

Earlier last year, Us Weekly reported that Gwen finally managed to get Gavin’s Catholic annulment.
In the Catholic faith, she could only marry once more by having the first marriage annulled, thereby declaring that it was never valid anyway.
However, the sons she and Gavin have together are still considered legitimate under Canon 1137 in the Code of Canon Law.
A few years ago, Gavin told People: “I keep getting screwed up and screwed up in all these relationships. I’m not very good at it, I guess.”
“I’ve had a divorce, I’ve had a long-term girlfriend – it all went haywire and I don’t have a girlfriend now, although everyone seems to think I do. You get burned by this stuff,” said the London-born music star.
Sharing that he’s “really focused on being a single dad,” the sizzling sentiment quipped, “I don’t know, it can be too difficult to combine a gorgeous single dad with the attention required of a beautiful girl.” is. I dont know. I’m trying to figure it out. It’s unresolved.’
