AceShowbiz - Is this the start of Gavin Rossdale's affair with his nanny named Mindy Mann? In a 2012 paparazzi picture, the Bush frontman was caught on camera placing his hand on the babysitter's butt while hiking together with his kids. The photo re-emerged as media started doing some digging about the babysitter after reports of their sleeping behind Gwen Stefani's back ran like wild fire on the internet.

Meanwhile, people from Gavin's circle tried to pass off the woman as his sister named Soraya and it apparently worked. In a 2013 DailyMail article later on, Mindy was called Soraya Rossdale when she was out and about with Gwen and her children.
Besides the nanny's old pictures with the rocker family, her various images from Facebook that showed her seemingly copying Gwen's looks were uncovered. A source told Us that Mindy was obsessed with the No Doubt lead singer. "If Gwen would eat something or do a workout or get a new handbag, Mindy would do the same thing," the source claimed. "Gwen thought it was weird."

Mindy who came from Australia started working for Gwen and Gavin in 2008 on the recommendation of friends. She began as a temporary fill-in but later became a full-time employee. Her relationship with Gavin allegedly lasted for three years including when Gwen was pregnant with Gavin's third son in 2013.
An insider even claimed to Access Hollywood that Gavin left Gwen in hospital after she gave birth so that he could meet up with the nanny. The two allegedly would also have sex on the tour bus when Mindy accompanied the kids to visit him while he was on the road and Gwen filmed "The Voice".
Gwen found out about their affair after discovering explicit texts and Mindy's nude picture on the family's iPad connected to Gavin's phone. Although she only filed for divorce in August, it's believed that the mother of three found out about his infidelity several months before as she recently hinted during a radio interview.
"I had been writing because my life blew up," she said to KIIS FM's JoJo Wright about the creative process of her new breakup song. "Everybody knows that my life blew up last February. I'd just been dealing with that. Unexpected. I was going along thinking that was going to be the rest of my life and it's not. I don't know what happened."
"There was one night, the epicenter of the whole thing - that's the most I can say about that - and the next day I wrote the chorus to 'Used to Love You,'" Stefani continues. "But I didn't know it was 'Used to Love You.' I just had written all this stuff and it had happened to be in there buried in a bunch of lyrics that I had written."
Gavin hasn't denied or confirm the cheating rumors but a source was sent to tell E! News that "all Gavin is concerned about right now is protecting his kids. He is a fantastic father and his kids have been going through a hard time."
