Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are divorcing after nearly 13 years of marriage

Gwen Stefani has filed for divorce from her British husband of nearly 13 years, Gavin Rossdale.
Stefani filed her petition for divorce on Monday at Los Angeles Superior Court citing irreconcilable differences.
The No Doubt frontwoman married the Bush singer at a church in London's Covent Garden in September 2002 and they have three sons together.
The couple say they want joint custody of Kingston, nine, Zuma, six, and Apollo, who was born last February.
