In her divorce petition, Stefani, 45, cited irreconcilable
differences and asked for joint custody of the couple's three
children, 9-year-old Kingston, 6-year-old Zuma and 1-year-old
Apollo, celebrity websites TMZ and People.com said.
Rossdale, 49, filed his response at the same time and also asked
for joint custody, TMZ reported.
Neither Stefani nor Rossdale's attorneys immediately responded
to emails seeking comment.
The couple has been together for about two decades, meeting when
Stefani's band No Doubt toured with Rossdale's band Bush in
1995, People.com reported. They dated for six years before they
wed in 2002.
"While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we
will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in
parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons
in a happy and healthy environment," the couple told the website
in a statement.
