On the cover: Gwen Stefani for Elle UK


Gwen Stefani stares you down on the April 2011 cover of Elle UK.

Dubbed the Romance Issue, Gwen opens up about her marriage to Gavin Rossdale.

"I've been with Gavin for 14 years, and, let's face it, that is a huge accomplishment," she says. "I feel so proud of that — it hasn't been the easiest journey."

The 41-year-old mother of two also reveals she has something in common with Sofia Vergara: a love of makeup.

"I wear make-up every single day; I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don’t feel energised till I’ve put it on, then I’m ready to go," she says.
