Gwen’s Past With Tony
Gwen’s first high profile relationship was the one she had with fellow No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal. She was so head over heels in love with him that all she did was look at him and hope they could have a baby together. Unfortunately, Kanal ended the relationship, almost ending the band in the process as well.
However, the breakup really sparked Gwen’s creativity as heartbreak often does. Many of the songs from the album “Tragic Kingdom” including Sunday Morning, Hey You!, and Don’t Speak are dedicated to the roller coaster that was this relationship. Even Cool from her first solo album “Love. Angel. Music. Baby” was about how she saw Kanal as a friend later on.
