Gwen Stefani seems to be victim to the curse of Jennifer Aniston. That curse is when the supermarket tabloids decide to speculate and start rumors about whether or not a particular celebrity is pregnant. Despite the fact that Gwen is now in her 50s (yep, we feel a little old reading that, too), ever since she married country superstar Blake Shelton in 2021 there has been nonstop speculation that the two want to grow their family together.
While it is not uncommon to wonder if celeb couples are planning to have kids, Gwen definitely gets more than her fair share of tabloid covers and internet speculation. We think we can all agree that it’s always kind of problematic to speculate on the state of someone else’s uterus, but we hope Gwen is too busy enjoying her actual mom life with her three sons Apollo, Kingston, and Zuma to pay attention to all the gossip hoping she and Blake will have a baby together.
We’re here to celebrate the beautiful family Gwen already has, so we’ve rounded up 15 of the sweetest moments we’ve seen of this major music star with her adorable sons.
Happy Birthday, Apollo
In February 2022, Gwen took to Instagram to wish a very happy birthday to her son Apollo Bowie Flynn Rossdale (now that is a name!). Apollo is her youngest child with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, and he recently turned 9 years old, much to mama Gwen’s delight!
Awards Show Mama
What’s even the point of having a majorly cool musician mom if there aren’t chances to throw on a cool tiger-print jacket and hit the front row of an awards show? Well, little Apollo clearly can’t answer that question since he was his mom’s handsome date for the 2017 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
Mother's Day Glow
Yes, this 2022 picture is a really sweet shot of Gwen and all three of her boys, gathered together to celebrate Mother’s Day. That said, we must confess to also being distracted by how amazing 52 years old looks on Gwen. Whatever she’s doing is working!
Park Life
Gwen and Gavin were married for 13 years before splitting in 2015. This 2013 sweet picture was from happier days for the former couple, and it was clear that they were both happy to watch their oldest two boys have a swinging good time at the park.
Matching Blonds
Is there truth to the idea that the family that goes blond together has fun together? There is a small chance that we might have just made up that saying, to be honest. However, this throwback picture with Gwen and oldest son Kingston for sure shows two happy blondies.
The Happiest Place on Earth
Here’s a universal truth: It doesn’t matter how cool a set of parents might be (and double rockstar parents are cool indeed), nobody is too cool to enjoy taking their kids to Disneyland. We can’t help but laugh that Gwen and Gavin are looking far happier in this cute photo than their skeptical kids are!
Blended Family Joy
Gwen and Blake make having a blended family look easy in this fun family photo from Father’s Day 2022. The two singers started dating in 2015, when Apollo was only 1 year old, so Blake really has been a big part of Gwen’s sons’ world for most of their lives — and it shows.
Sleepy Cuddle
Oh man, is there anything sweeter than the feeling of having a sleeping baby on your shoulder? There is just something so tender about the peaceful sleeping face of a content baby. This shot from 2006 features Gwen and Kingston, who is now almost 17.
Wedding Joy
Gwen was a glowing bride during her 2021 wedding to Blake, and it looks like the whole family was in a festive mood for the occasion. We love seeing Gwen’s happiness and the sweet moment of affection between Blake and Apollo (his little suit is so cute, too!).
Concert Mom
With a rock star dad, a musical icon mom, and a country superstar stepdad, it is probably safe to assume that Gwen’s sons have been to more concerts by the time they were in middle school than most of us go to in a lifetime. This shot from 2015 shows Gwen and her oldest boys hanging out backstage while Gavin’s band was performing.
Sweet Boy
On the celebrity kid privacy scale (which ranges from the Kardashians to Blake Lively), Gwen tends to fall somewhere in the middle. She doesn’t keep images and names of her kids as private as some celebs, nor does she splash them on her Instagram on a daily basis. One constant, though — the happy birthday post! Here, she paid tribute to Apollo in 2021.
Supermom?
We love how relatable Gwen looks in this picture. She’s wrangling three kids and appears to be in a little danger of leaving middle son Zuma behind — yep, we’ve all been there. She’s rocking the baby carrier and somehow talked her oldest kids into matching outfits, which proves she might be a supermom after all.
Roadside Nursing
A lot of us who have breastfed our infants know that it’s easy to end up nursing in all sorts of locations. For Gwen, that location included a beautiful roadside stop in Switzerland to nurse baby Apollo. This is such a sweet mom moment!
That's a Framer
Sometimes a celebrity will share a picture on Instagram, and we can’t help put believe that the same picture is on display in one of their many homes. Like this wedding shot — it’s such a frame-worthy family picture. We can feel the joy!
Just Adorable
Awwww! We know that Blake is a big country and outdoors guy, so he and Gwen live part of the time on his ranch in Oklahoma. We’re not sure if this absolutely adorable moment with the couple and Apollo feeding piglets was taken in Oklahoma, but we do know it is awfully sweet!
