Gavin Rossdale, who is currently happily married to Gwen Stefani, has a dirty past that includes lipstick, parties and a secret gay relationship with a British male rocker, Marilyn (Peter Robinson). “He was the love of my life,” Marilyn tells In Touch.

WoW!! Apparently Gavin was outed on Boy George’s book “Take It Like A Man” back in 1995 but asked Marilyn to lie because he was just becoming successful in the USA: “He was just becoming successful in America. I agreed to lie against every grain of my being.”

Gavin denied it, stating, “I wasn’t dating Marilyn. We were, and still are, good friends.” The British pop icon is finally ready to tell all about their torrid relationship: “We were together five years,” Marilyn says. “But it felt like 40.”
