Gavin Rossdale has revealed he's been exchanging text messages with Elin Nordegren, the ex-wife of Tiger Woods. The Voice judge said the pair were initially set up by a mutual pal who thinks they'd be a good match. Gavin, 51, told The Sun: "A friend was like, 'You have to meet Elin. She's amazing.'

"I look at my boys running around the house with Nerf guns and throwing footballs and I think, 'How would anyone survive?' I'd be like, 'Oh, sorry about that – someone's sat on your sunglasses.' And for the last two years, not to be with anyone, it's been really healthy for me."

"There's been a lot of pain and sadness. It really teaches you perspective on life. It's really health, happiness and safety. After that, I don't know what there is other than that. I'm not sure I'll ever go at it [marriage] again. I'm trying to be a really good dad and make good records and shoot good TV shows."
