Gwen Stefani recently celebrated her son Zuma’s milestone 16th birthday with a touching tribute on Instagram. The “Underneath It All” singer shared a video montage of photos spanning from Zuma’s adorable baby days to his current love for country music. Zuma is Gwen’s second child with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, and the photos showcased his bond with his siblings, as well as special moments with his stepdad Blake Shelton.
A Family of Musicians
Gwen and Blake’s relationship started when she joined The Voice in 2013, just two months after giving birth to son Apollo. They began dating in 2015, when Zuma was seven years old. Fans were quick to comment on the post, remarking on Zuma’s resemblance to Blake and his growing love for country music. Zuma recently made his country music debut at Blake’s honky-tonk bar in Oklahoma, where the family has a ranch.
Zuma’s father Gavin, the frontman of the rock band Bush, has also acknowledged his son’s musical interests. In an interview before Zuma’s big debut, Gavin mentioned how his son has caught the “country bug.” Despite his own rock background, Gavin humorously admitted that hearing blues scales in the house was not his favorite. However, he emphasized his support for Zuma’s musical journey, even if it meant exploring genres outside of his own comfort zone.
Gavin’s comments reflect a supportive attitude towards Zuma’s exploration of music. He may not fully understand Zuma’s country music aspirations, but his willingness to embrace his son’s interests is heartwarming. As a parent, Gavin’s willingness to stand by Zuma’s side as he navigates his musical path is commendable. It shows a deep love and acceptance for his son’s individuality and creative expression.
Zuma’s musical journey is just beginning, and with a supportive family behind him, the possibilities are endless. Whether he continues to follow his country music passion or explores other musical genres, Zuma has a strong foundation of love and encouragement to guide him. As he celebrates his 16th birthday, the future looks bright for this young musician with a whole world of opportunities waiting to be explored.
