Gwen Stefani shares three sons with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale. Their names are Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
Apollo is the youngest of her three sons. He was only one year old when Gwen and Gavin split in 2015. Later that year, Gwen started dating her fellow Voice coach, country singer Blake Shelton.
Blake and Gwen married in July 2021 in Oklahoma. All three of Gwen’s sons attended the intimate ceremony.

Blake takes his role as a stepdad seriously. The main reason why he’s leaving The Voice at the end of Season 23 is so he can spend more time with his stepsons:
“If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I’m missing out on some more important things in life,” Shelton told PEOPLE. “For now, that’s our kids. This isn’t about me anymore and never will be again.“
He continued:
“Even though I’m a stepparent, I take that job very seriously. The kids see me as a very important person in their life. [When they ask,] ‘Why isn’t Blake here?’ I take that stuff to heart. I’ve made plenty of money, but you can’t buy time back. I don’t want any regrets.”

Blake appears in one of the photos Gwen shared in her post for Apollo’s ninth birthday this year. She shared several personal pictures and videos, with the main photo in the post showing her, Apollo, and Blake together in recent times.
The other photo and two videos at the bottom of the collage show Apollo when he was much younger. It’s crazy to see how fast he’s grown!
Gwen set her post to the tune of her band No Doubt’s 2003 single “Running.” She captioned it, “my world is so much bigger with u in it, happy birthday, apollo…i love u so much.”
