There's No Doubt that Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale seem like a happy Hollywood couple.

But in an interview with Elle UK, as excerpted by PopSugar, Stefani admits her relationship with the Bush frontman hasn't always been picture perfect.

"I've been with Gavin for 14 years, and let's face it, that is a huge accomplishment," she says. The two first met in 1995 on tour, started dating two years later and finally married in 2002. They have two sons together-- Kingston, 4, and Zuma, 2. Rossdale also learned in 2004 of his daughter, Daisy Lowe, now 22, from his brief relationship with singer-turned-designer Pearl Lowe.

"I feel so proud (of our relationship)-- it hasn't been the easiest journey," she admits.

"I wear make-up every single day," the star says. "I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don't feel energized until I've put it on, then I'm ready to go."

She says her famously fit body is "a daily struggle" and confides, "I work out five days a week. I can't imagine not doing it."

    Fourteen years is a huge accomplishment, that's what people should focus on.....not the fact that she likes makeup. Love ya Gwen!

    It's refreshing to hear a celebrity admit that her relationship isn't all bunnies and sunshine. Too many celebrities gush about how perfect their relationship is, only to split shortly afterward. Making a committed relationship last is hard work, no matter how famous, wealthy, or attractive the people involved are!

    i think she is saying she wears makeup to make herself feel better and it makes her feel better to look good for her husband- good for her and for him

    Marriage is hard work thats for sure! It can make you feel and look run-down, so if Gwen wants to put the spakle on, go for it! Im sure Gavin has seen her without nake-up and he is still with her, so what does that say about him?

    She is so superficial. If she needs to wear makeup for her man, then her relationship is kinda based on a lie. A real man won't care what you look like without makeup on.

    It's good to take care of yourself, but you shouldn't need the perfect body and makeup to please your man.
