GAVIN Rossdale has revealed that his wife Gwn Stefani broke the news of her third pregnancy to him via email.

Speaking to radio host Howard Stern, Rossdale said he was on tour with his band Bush when Stefani let him know he was going to be a dad again (the two were already parents to seven-year-old Kingston, and five-year-old Zuma).

“By the way, you had another kid. I was surprised,” Stern said to Rossdale. “I thought you were done.”

“Me too,” Rossdale said. “I got this email on the road, from Gwen, and the title was in capitals, ‘LOOK WHAT YOU DID TO ME NOW.’ I was like, ‘What is this?’ My blood pressure went through the roof. And I opened the e-mail, and it was the pregnancy stick.”

Rossdale told Stern he was also pretty sure when the baby was conceived.

“I wasn’t home that often, but I did go home for Father’s Day,” he told Stern. “And that gives Father’s Day a new meaning.”

Stefani and Rossdale welcomed their third son, Apollo Bowie Flynn, on February 28.

“He’s pretty chilled out,” Rossdale told Us Weekly.

“We’re very proud of him. He’s a great kid [but] he’ll be naughty soon enough!”
