Her brother, Eric Stefani, is also a musician, and in fact, not only was he a part of No Doubt as well, but he wrote one of the band's most iconic songs, 1995's Don't Speak.

Though he left the band in 1994 to focus on a career in animation, he still has always been there to support his little sister, Gwen through her music career.
