Gwen Stefani has admitted that she would rather sacrifice her career than give up spending time with her children while they're still young. 

The '4 In The Morning' hitmaker opened up about being a mother to sons Kingston, 5, and Zuma, 3, and said that these are the really important years so she would rather put her music on hold while her children are growing up than focus on No Doubt and miss crucial moments:

"I think what I'd like to do is enjoy these boys while they're young - so I don't regret I was working too much when they're big and don't want to cuddle me anymore."

"I like them (her kids) to be creative and have fun. Sometimes they'll get dressed and it's horrifying. But they often come out in outfits that are awesome."
