Spied: Gwen & Gavin Wind It Up at Wimbledon
There’s no doubt Roger Federer had some serious star power on his side during Sunday’s Wimbledon finals.
But even with the support of “Sweet Escape” singer Gwen Stefani and her husband, Gavin Rossdale, the Swiss tennis ace still couldn’t, well, escape losing to Spain’s Rafael Nadal during the marathon match.
While Federer probably doesn’t consider his famous friends to be bad luck, we wouldn’t blame him if he secretly hopes they become too preoccupied with their soon-to-be newborn baby to attend next month’s U.S. Open.

Showing off her baby bump in a snug grey top, Gwen Stefani accompanied hubby Gavin Rossdale to watch a tennis semi-final at Wimbledon in London on Friday (July 4).
The “Hollaback Girl” singer and her man sat alongside tennis great Roger Federer’s girlfriend, Mirka Vavrinec - with all three watching intently as Roger rolled through Marat Safin in straight sets to reach his sixth consecutive Wimbledon final.
According to AP reports, “Federer left Safin shaking his head in bewilderment as he switched on cruise control to clinch his 6-3 7-6 (7-3) 6-4 victory in just one hour and 41 minutes and make Sunday’s final without dropping a set.”
Besides checking out the tennis tournament, Stefani recently spoke to Look magazine about life in general, telling: “I’ve already accomplished everything I originally wanted to. Most of my dreams have come true. What has changed is that at this point in my life I also have the comfort that comes from knowing I’m making a family and that there’s a different meaning to my work. It’s a little more special now.”
She and Rossdale are expecting their second child together next month.

It looks as if she may burst any day now! But that’s not stopping Gwen Stefani from getting some active quality time with her son Kingston.
The “Hollaback Girl” songstress and her 2-year-old son were spotted out and about in London, England earlier today enjoying the sunshine and getting some fresh air.
And while there aren’t many who can rival her figure (when she’s not eight-and-a-half months pregnant, that is), Stefani says it wasn’t always that way. “At school, I remember thinking that I wished I could be like a girl that was so skinny and got to eat whatever she wanted. [But] I always had to exercise.”
She continued, “My weight fluctuated and I got chubby again in 11th grade - at like 16 - and then I was like, ‘You know what? I’ve had enough of this up and down thing!’ So I got on the swim team and I was more determined not to be that chubby girl any more. Ever since then I’ve been able to control it, but it sucks. Nowadays I just try to realize how stupid it is, because nobody cares - except me!”

Their trio is close to becoming a foursome, and Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale, and son Kingston are making the most of their time before the new baby is born.
The “Wind it Up” songstress and her “Love Remains the Same” singer hubby took their 2-year-old on an awesome shopping spree at Hamleys Toy Store in London, England.
And Stefani looked very, very pregnant in a black maternity dress overtop a pair of black pants topped off with a pair of black flip-flops.
The day before, Kingston and Co. were spotted at the World Famous London Zoo enjoying an afternoon of beautiful summertime weather. They were also joined by tennis legend (and Wimbledon competitor) Roger Federer.
Gavin recently told press that his wife is intensely focused on getting back in shape just as soon as the baby is born. “Yeah, she does (feel under pressure). I mean, she’s just so dedicated and she’s just amazing with that stuff (weight loss). It’s very hard because everyone’s so judged the whole time.”
