14 Celebrity Dads who Fathered Illegitimate Children

6. THINGS GET MESSY WHEN . . .

What if you thought you were someone’s godparent, only to find out you were so much more. That happened to frontman of rock band Bush, Gavin Rossdale, who until recently was married to musician Gwen Stefani. Rossdale thought that he was just godfather to British model Daisy Lowe, daughter of former singer/songwriter and fashion and textiles designer, Pearl Lowe. In 2004 a paternity test revealed that Daisy was the product of their 1980s five-year relationship, and soon after, Rossdale severed all ties with both mother and daughter—he had warned he would if a test was taken. Five years later in 2009, and after much work on Daisy’s part, he put aside some of his differences to rekindle a relationship with his daughter. The lead singer and rhythm guitarist has three other children with Stefani but they recently divorced over rumors of his infidelity with the family nanny.
