Gavin Rossdale revealed that he used to be next-door neighbors with Britney Spears.
He spoke fondly of the pop star in a new interview on Tuesday, April 7.
At the time, Rossdale was married to Gwen Stefani.
Gavin Rossdale is sharing what it's really like to be neighbors with Britney Spears. In an interview with SiriusXM's "Page Six Radio" on Tuesday, the Bush frontman dished on his "amazing" day with the pop star.
Rossdale was asked about an old interview where Spears recalled swimming with the musician.

“Of course, how could you forget that?” Rossdale shared. “We were neighbors and so she came around when the kids were small and she was a real character and I got on really well with her.”
“She was lovely. She was amazing,” Rossdale added. “She’s a great swimmer.”
At the time, Rossdale was married to Gwen Stefani, though they divorced in 2016. They share three children, who are around the same age as Spears's sons, Sean and Jaden. The "Lucky" hitmaker welcomed her boys with Kevin Federline, her husband from 2004 to 2007.

Last month, Rossdale discussed co-parenting with his ex-wife.
"It is an interesting kind of [relationship]. It’s a two-lane highway, you know, but they don’t ever seem to merge, which is fine," the guitarist told Fox News Digital in March. “[She’s] probably doing zthe best she can, and I’m doing the best I can. And the kids are growing up, so I’m a proud proponent of the system. It’s fine.”

Rossdale and Stefani have three sons: 19-year-old Kingston, 17-year-old Zuma, and 12-year-old Apollo.
“I think that if you’ve got kids that are unlikable, they’ve got a tough life ahead," Rossdale added. "Life is hard enough without being a jerk, without being kind of aware of other people, mindful of other people, considerate of other people, empathetic.”
