I already told you all about his gayness a year ago, but Gavin Rossdale is just now publicly owning up to the sexual relationship he had with 1980′s New Romantic gender-bender Marilyn. The Daily Mail says:

Asked why he has waited until now to speak out, Rossdale, 44, said he was scared of ruining his career.

“I think at the outset there was a sort of fear—that was right at the beginning of Bush, and I didn’t want it to be part of it,” he said.

“It’s just one of those things: Move on. When you’re 17, Jesus Christ. I don’t think there’s anything strange about any form of—you’re learning about life. It’s a part of growing up. That’s it. No more, no less.’

Asked if it was just a one-time experimentation, he replied: ‘Yeah. That was it. You have to know what you like, and I know what I like.’

But maybe he’s not so sure about what he likes after all, because as soon as the interview was over, he decided he didn’t like having told the whole damn world he was into butt sex with dudes for a while. Mostly because he’d never actually admitted it to his wife:

Rossdale reportedly ‘pleaded’ with the editors of Details magazine not to include his admission in the interview, apparently because wife Gwen Stefani did not know about the dalliance, but they refused.

Sources said she was aware of the rumors but her husband’s candor meant that for the first time he had to tell her they were true.

Spouses do NOT like it when you tell an intimate secret to everyone else but them. Like if you told all his co-workers you used to be a porn star named Salty Melons or that you had both male and female genitalia until that surgery five years ago. That’s what both my ex-husbands deemed “deal-breakers.”
