That's awkward... No Doubt about it! Gwen Stefani looks tense on the sidelines with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale at son's basketball game

Gwen Stefani reunited with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale at their son's basketball game in Los Angeles on Wednesday. 

In a show of support for her boy, the dutiful mum sat court-side, next to her former partner of almost 20 years, as they watched Kingston, nine, play ball.

And if her body language was anything to go by, Gwen, 46, was grinning and bearing the uncomfortable situation as much as she could muster.

It is the first time the duo have been pictured together since announcing their divorce last year. 

In pictures obtained by Dailymail.com the blonde songstress sat cross-legged as she perched on the bench in the sports hall.

Sporting high-waist jeans and burgundy lace-up boots, Gwen was unmistakable with her platinum blonde tresses in curls and wearing her trademark scarlet lippy.

The Voice star rested her head in her hand at one point as she leaned forward to take in the action.

Cosy up in a cardigan this season

Long before the Balmain collaboration with H&M, there was the Isabel Marant collection for the high street retailer which caused almost as much of a frenzy, with stock selling out and similar queues around the block.

And it was a great capsule line too that really caught the spirit of the Marant aesthetic. From printed frilled mini skirts to slinky dresses and embroidered jackets to skinny leather pants, it was finally a chance for us to get hold of her designs at prices we could afford.

And this cardigan, as seen on Gwen Stefani, was a stand out piece. In a chunky knit with black and red pattern as well as Boho fringing, this became the coolest way to stay cosy. Of course it sold out long ago although you may have some luck on eBay.

So shop our edit of cardis below where you'll find similar knits from Asos, Ulla Johnson and Revolve.

After the game the duo - who have been living separate lives since their split last summer - kept it cordial as they stood chatting with other parents outside.

After that, Gavin took their youngest son Apollo, two, to a nearby playground so the tot could burn off some energy.

He said: 'We could not be, on paper, any more different. I mean, I'm a country singer and she's a ska, rock, pop, whatever it is … and it's just an odd idea. 

'But man, it's a lot of fun. I've gotta be honest about that.'

On Thursday, Gwen also shared some cute video of their son Apollo following in his parents' musical footsteps as they sang together in a music studio in Sherman Oaks, California.
