Stefani revealed back in October 2012 that she had nearly given up hope on having a third child, and hinted at a recent traumatic experience. "I really, really, really wanted one about two years ago. And it didn't really work out," she explained to Marie Claire, without going into specifics. "So. . . I feel good with what we've got. Everything works out how it should. You can't plan anything, right? You can try."
