Early life:
Stefani was born and raised in Fullerton, California,[9] and grew up in a Roman Catholic household.[10] Her mother named her after a stewardess in the 1968 novel Airport, and her middle name, Renée, comes from The Four Tops' 1968 cover of The Left Banke's 1966 hit song "Walk Away Renée".[11] Her father, Dennis Stefani, is Italian and works as a Yamaha marketing executive.[12] Her mother, Patti (née Flynn), is of Irish and Scottish descent and worked as an accountant before becoming a homemaker.[13][14] Her parents were fans of folk music and presented music by Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris to their daughter.[10] She is the second oldest of four children; she has a younger sister, Jill Stefani, a younger brother, Todd, and an older brother, Eric.[10][13] Eric was the keyboardist for No Doubt but left the band to pursue a career in animation on The Simpsons on the FOX TV network.
Many of the women in Stefani's family were seamstresses, and much of her clothing was made by her or her mother. As a child, Stefani's musical interests consisted of musicals such as The Sound of Music and Evita. After making a demo tape for her father, she was encouraged to take music lessons to train her "loopy, unpredictable" voice. Stefani is a distant cousin of Madonna. Her great-aunt's mother-in-law shares the last name with Madonna.
Stefani made her onstage debut during a talent show at Loara High School, where she sang "I Have Confidence," from The Sound of Music, in a self-made tweed dress inspired by one from the film.Stefani was on the Loara swim team in an attempt to lose weight.[15] She first worked at a Dairy Queen and later manned the MAC makeup counter of a department store.[16] After graduating from high school in 1987,she began attending Cypress College before transfering to California State University, Fullerton.

2008present: No Doubt's New Album and 2009 Tour:
With Stefani promoting her second solo album, No Doubt began initial work on a new album without her[56] and planned to complete it after Stefani's tour was finished. In March 2008, the band started making posts concerning the progression of the album on their official fan forum. Stefani made a post on March 28, 2008 stating that songwriting had commenced but was slow on her end because she was, at the time, pregnant with her second child.
Manager Jim Guerinot said the yet-untitled album is being produced by Mark "Spike" Stent, who helped produce and mix Rock Steady. Between Stefani's pregnancy and recording, No Doubt did not tour in 2008, but Guerinot promised they plan to hit the road hard in 2009 for their first full-fledged band tour in nearly five years.
"The Singles 92-03" became available on December 9th 2008 for the Rock Band 2 video game platform.[60] All members of No Doubt except for Stefani are appearing as Scott Weiland's backing band on the album Happy In Galoshes.
No Doubt announced on their official website that they want to tour in 2009 [61] while finishing their upcoming album, which is set for release late 2009.[62] On November 24, 2008, it was announced that No Doubt would be headlining the Bamboozle 2009 festival in May, along with Fall Out Boy.
