"What's so sweet about Jack, I'll give you a fun insight to Jack. Since I got divorced and was raising the kids on my own, he's come to every Christmas and Thanksgiving that I do with my kids.

"For his presence."

Elsewhere in the chat, Rossdale and Ferguson, 49, bonded over living in the same house in Los Feliz, Calif.
"I think you and Gwen lived there, and then you sold it to someone, and then someone else bought it even after that, did a little bit of renovation on it, and then I bought it from her, this woman, Laura, who's the founder of LÄRABAR. She's a chef and she redid the kitchen to be a chef's kitchen," the actor told the singer, who split from Stefani in 2015. "So I don't know if like when I moved in, it all looked exactly like it did when you were there, but I think that a huge part of it — the pool that is there, I know that you all built."
The actor is friends with Gavin Rossdale.
"I have such great memories about that house. I mean, we moved into this house right after we got married, Justin [Mikita] and I in 2013. So many big moments happened there. We had our first child while living in this house. The first like six months of the pandemic, we were there. We ended up moving because there were so many stairs and I was just nervous about raising kids there. When I sold the house, and we went to go do a final walkthrough of the place, it was completely empty. To tell you I had the most guttural cry of my life would be an understatement. I had such intense feelings about that home. Do you have special memories of that place?" he asked Rossdale.
Gavin Rossdale split from Gwen Stefani in 2015.
Despite no longer being with Stefani, 55, he said he has "unbelievable memories" from that abode. "that was just such an exciting time. I was there for a number of years when we just were together. I was there when we first got married. We had our first kid there. Gwen did do a beautiful job on the nursery," he shared.
