More than five years after their official split, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have received an annulment from the Catholic Church, a new report claims.
“Gwen was told the decision was made by the Vatican Tribunal,” a source told Us Weekly. “She will receive the notice in writing in the coming weeks, but it is official.”
The 51-year-old No Doubt front woman filed for divorce from the rocker, 54, in August 2015 after nearly 13 years of marriage, citing irreconcilable differences. They finalized their divorce in April 2016.
Stefani had reportedly postponed the idea of marrying fiancé Blake Shelton until the annulment was finalized due to her religious beliefs. Receiving the official blessing from the Catholic Church, the source believes, should move things forward.
“It was a huge relief for Gwen because she wanted to be married through her priest and have the marriage recognized by the Catholic Church,” the source added.
Stefani and Rossdale share sons Kingston, 13, Zuma, 11, and Apollo, 6.
