Gwen Stefani Shares Sweet Glimpse Into Family Life With Blake Shelton, Her Kids
Gwen Stefani feels like a rich girl because of some special people in her life.
The “Hollaback Girl” artist celebrated loved ones on Father’s Day, especially husband of nearly five years Blake Shelton, by highlighting family memories with her kids Kingston, 20, Zuma, 17 and Apollo, 12, from over the years for Father’s Day.
“Happy father’s day to my favorite guys. My dad + @blakeshelton,” Stefani, 56, wrote on Instagram on June 21 for the holiday, adding heart emojis before signing off, “we love u so much.”
In addition to showing off Stefani’s home footage of the “Home” singer shucking corn in their driveway, the No Doubt lead singer also featured shots honoring her dad Dennis Stefani and photos of her children—shared with her rock musician ex Gavin Rossdale—bonding with Shelton.
The quality time between Shelton and her kids included rocking Western attire, fishing and hunting in camo gear and visiting the set of The Voice, where Stefani first met the 50-year-old as costars on the competition series in 2014.
And their big blended family is a “miracle” Stefani has expressed being extremely grateful for, especially since getting pregnant with her youngest son at age 43 wasn’t easy.
“I really wanted to have another baby. I really did,” Stefani admitted on Hallow March 5. “And I couldn’t and I was old. And then my oldest boy, Kingston, comes up to me. He’s like, ‘Mommy, I just I really want you to have a baby.’ I said, ‘I’m sorry, your mommy’s too old to have a baby now.’”

“I think it was like four weeks later and I was pregnant with Apollo,” Stefani continued, “who I had at 44-years-old, naturally—totally a full-on gift.”
As such, she got sentimental for the 12-year-old birthday.
“happy birthday my baby Apollo,” she wrote in the Feb. 28 tribute. “I thank GOD for u everyday. love u sooo much.”

Let the Rumors Begin
“I think he’s hot, don’t you? But to be super honest, it is kind of crazy we both went through the same thing at the same time. There’s been so many people that I’ve gotten so much comfort from. Just people coming to me and telling me their story. Not confiding, but sharing, which has just helped me see things from a different perspective and move forward.” —Gwen to Ryan Seacrest in November 2015

“Saved My Life”
“When you have a broken heart—at least, when I do—you got to get it out of your system. You want people to sympathize with you. I was at rock bottom, in the middle of hell…Gwen saved my life. Who else on earth could understand going through a high-profile divorce from another musician?” —Blake to Billboard in July 2016
Country Livin’
“I grew up in Orange County, so I don’t know if you’ve been down there, but it’s nothing like the middle of America and our nature was the beach. So to be able to be in Oklahoma and be able to experience a ranch kind of vibe is just something I never ever had, so it’s just been really, it’s been great, amazing.” —Gwen on Jimmy Kimmel Live in August 2020

Fierce Fashion
“[My style is] more feminine than ever before. It’s probably because I’m super in love and have a really manly man. I enjoy letting that part of me come out now because when I was in No Doubt, I never thought of myself as sexy. Even in my 30s, I was a tomboy. I hardly ever carried a purse.” —Gwen to InStyle in July 2018
Sexiest Man Alive
“He doesn’t even like to do a photo shoot. You can never convince him to do it. So he just called me like, ‘They want me to do this.’ And I was like, ‘You should totally do it! You’re so sexy!'” —Gwen’s reaction to Blake being named People‘s Sexiest Man Alive
Hot Commodity
“He’s so good at the show, I mean, he’s just so magical. Blake is literally a unicorn. Like anywhere he goes, people are just attracted to him, and he’s such an incredible talent.” —Gwen on SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in September 2019

A Hand to Hold
“I think she’s kept me from going to the absolute bottom. It was like literally falling off a cliff and a hand reached out and caught me, is what it feels like. I’ve never had that with somebody where it just felt like no matter what, she has my back. It’s the greatest feeling.” — Blake on Good Dish in March 2022

Party of 5
“I didn’t know what I was signing up for, but I was all about signing up for it,” Shelton said during a 2022 interview at the Country Radio Seminar of becoming stepdad to Stefani’s sons Kingston, Zuma and Apollo (from her marriage to Gavin Rossdale). “And every day I’ve fallen in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.”

Unexpected Miracles
“Something that I wanted since I was a little girl is to be married and have this love that I saw my parents have and have babies. That dream was completely ruined; it was crushed, and I had to figure out how I was going to move forward and make a new dream. And God putting Blake in my life was just that miracle.” — Gwen to People in November 2024

“A Second Chance at Life”
“Meeting my husband felt like a second chance at life. Because when my family fell apart, it felt like a catastrophe. How do you pick yourself up from that? But God put this other person there to love me.” — Gwen to The Guardian in November 2024
