Nanny steals boss’s husband – and her look and dress sense

- JEMMA BUCKLEY

LONDON: First she was accused of stealing Gwen Stefani’s husband after a three-year affair right under the pop singer’s nose.

Now pictures have emerged which seem to suggest Mindy Mann, the family nanny, was also out to steal her star boss’s looks.

Stefani divorced her British rocker husband Gavin Rossdale last month after a 13-year marriage. It is alleged she found he was cheating on her with the nanny after seeing explicit texts and nude photos on the family iPad.

Now shots have emerged showing Mann in outfits strikingly similar to those of her boss.

She has been spotted posing in the same grey jumpsuit, wearing a similar black bandana in her hair and wearing the same darkrimmed glasses.

The blonde Australian even dyed her hair bright pink, a style once sported by Stefani, 46. According to magazine Us Weekly, Mann gradually began dressing like Stefani, who is the lead singer of the band No Doubt.

A source told the magazine: “If Gwen would eat something or do a workout or get a new hand- bag, Mindy would do the same thing. Gwen thought it was weird.”

Earlier this week the magazine claimed that 50- year- old rocker Rossdale had had a threeyear affair behind his wife’s back, including while she was pregnant with their youngest child.

Us Weekly claims Stefani discovered the betrayal in February. One of the couple’s other nannies allegedly found explicit texts and nude photos of Mann on the family’s iPad and showed them to the singer.

Mann cared for the couple’s three sons, Kingston, 9, Zuma, 7, and 20-month-old Apollo.

The magazine claims Mann was fired despite Rossdale, lead singer of the band Bush, insisting the exchange was simply “flirtation”. When he confessed to the affair months later, a “completely devastated” Stefani decided to end the marriage. – Daily Mail
