Love Baby!

The marriage of Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale is allegedly “strained” following news that the Bush frontman is the biological father of 15-year-old London model Daisy Lowe.

Daisy’s mother is Pearl Lowe, a London scenester whose circle includes Kate Moss and Jude Law’s ex-wife, Sadie Frost, and who had a brief romantic relationship in the late-’80s with Rossdale.

A businessman Pearl Lowe had met in Egypt was originally named the father, but there has been speculation over Daisy’s rock-star blood since the mid-’90s, when Pearl Lowe achieved fleeting notoriety as the singer in Britpop also-rans Powder. “People would point at Daisy and say, that’s Gavin’s daughter — it was just kind of assumed,” a source claimed.

Although Rossdale is Daisy’s godfather and has remained close with the teenager, he never believed he was her father. On Pearl Lowe’s insistence, Rossdale reluctantly agreed to DNA tests and was “freaked out” by the results.

“They were good friends but it has all become slightly awkward now,” said another insider.
