But the No Doubt singer has revealed to Marie Claire that even in her gilded world, to quote Mick Jagger - you can't always get what you want.

She said: 'I really, really, really wanted one about two years ago. And it didn’t really work out. So…I feel good with what we’ve got. Everything works out how it should. 

'You can’t plan anything, right? You can try.'

She also spoke about what it's like to raise Kingston, six, and four-year-old Zuma. 

She said: 'From the moment they wake up, they start beating on each other. I never knew they would be so physical. They’re just starting to play real well together, but with a lot of fighting. They do look out for each other – especially the little one, he really loves his older brother.'

She also gushed about her ten year marriage to British born rocker, Rossdale, 46, describing it as 'a miracle.'

She explained: 'A miracle…my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it’s hard, everyone knows it’s hard.' 

She continues: '[Marriage] is something that I always wanted to do successfully. It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together.'

She added: '[Our relationship] is better than it’s ever been. Like, we’re learning about each other all the time. He’s an amazing dad, he works so hard – I can hear him writing songs through the wall, and it is at a much quicker pace than me!” Above all, she adds, “He balances me out. And he – he never stops liking me, which is awesome! It makes me feel happy, that someone likes me as much as he does.'
