Her husband Gavin Rossdale has admitted he had an affair with Marilyn in the 80s.
Poor Gwen.

why poor Gwen, he was 17 at the time and they weren't together

Feenie · 13/10/2010 20:40

Oh, has he admitted it now? Why poor Gwen, he wasn't seeing her at the time - or do you mean because he lied about it till now?

childrenofthecornsilk · 13/10/2010 20:41

Marilyn? Who's that? The guy?

Haliborange · 13/10/2010 20:41

Why "poor"? I think if you marry someone over the age of 20 you pretty much accept they have baggage, and he wouldn't be the first person to have sex with people of both genders. It's not like he cheated on her.

Feenie · 13/10/2010 20:41

Yes.

sharbie · 13/10/2010 20:42

yh IF he has lied (of course) also she had to go through finding out about him being father of Daisy Lowe.

He is still lying - he reckons here it was a one time fling, but mutual acquaintances say it was 5 years. I feel sorrier for Marilyn - it would be horrible for a significant ex to deny your relationship ever took place, or say it was a one night stand or whatever.

childrenofthecornsilk · 13/10/2010 20:46

why is it all coming out now though? Aren't folk allowed a private life any more?

Meglet · 13/10/2010 22:21

He also forgot to tell her about the fling with Courtney Love while they were dating.

sharbie · 13/10/2010 22:45

eeeeeeek can she forgive this i wonder

ffs

kittya · 13/10/2010 23:24

I knew this in the 80's. It might even be in Boy Georges book. I thought everyone knew.

Feenie · 14/10/2010 06:52

But he's always denied it till now, kitty. It was in boy george's first bk.

Panzee · 14/10/2010 07:19

Courtney Love? Ewwwww. Trip to the clinic I think! Poor Gwen.

SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood · 14/10/2010 07:24

Well if they weren't together at the time, wouldn't she know?? I vaguely know who my DH was with before me (in fact he was with his gf when we met and I knew both of them). You'd certainly know if it went on 5 years.
Or was the thing secret from everyone because it was a man?

Frrrrightattendant · 14/10/2010 07:25

Blimey I have wandered into the News of the World section.

Nancy66 · 14/10/2010 08:21

Ronaldinhio · 14/10/2010 08:23

GetOrfMoiLand · 14/10/2010 08:48

Why would she give a shit? If he is bisexual so what?

It was donkey's years ago. My DP went out with a woman called Sharon with a bubble perm when he worked as a prop in Benidorm circa 1988, I don't hold that against him.

SHRIIIEEEKPoolingBearBlood · 14/10/2010 09:23

oh dear I would :o

Nancy66 · 14/10/2010 11:34

if my husband told me that he used to have sex with men it would matter to me.

Librashavinganotherbiscuit · 14/10/2010 11:37

You are all assuming that Gwen didn't know all this already....

of course she knew and of course she doesnt give a shit. I bet she has had a very varied sex life herselft.

How do these things even get into the news?
