Gwen Stefani is known for many things — from her signature ice blonde locks to her notable music career, which has stood the test of time.

As a three-time Grammy Award winner, Stefani initially gained fame as the frontwoman of No Doubt before transitioning into a thriving solo career.

Despite her many hats as an entrepreneur, musician, and television judge, Stefani has always spoken fondly about her love for being a mother.

From her marriage to Blake Shelton to her three children with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, here's everything we know about Stefani's blended family.

How many children does Gwen Stefani have?

Stefani has three sons with her ex-husband Rossdale – Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10 years old.

Her journey into motherhood began in 2006 at the age of 37, when she gave birth to Kingston. Two years later, at 39, she welcomed Zuma, followed by Apollo at 43.

Initially believing she was finished expanding her family after Kingston and Zuma, Stefani's eldest son expressed a strong desire for another sibling. Years later, she found herself expecting once again.

"I was like, 'I'm too old. I'm not having any more babies. I'm sorry, love,'" Gwen told Hello!. "He just wanted a baby, so he would start praying every night for this baby. Four weeks later, praying every night like, 'Please, let my mum have a baby,' and I'm pregnant with Apollo.

"I'm like 43 years old, and it's this true miracle, and every time I would go the doctor, I was like, 'He's gonna say this is not gonna work out,' and every time he'd be like, 'Looking great.'"

Most recently, Stefani, 54, celebrated her son Kingston's 18th birthday by posting a heartfelt montage of his life on Instagram.

"Happiest of birthdays Kingston🤍 my first born baby boy :) cannot believe u are 18 today… I love u!" she captioned the post.

The video depicted Kingston from his childhood to the present day, set to the tune of UB40'sKingston Town. It also included photos of him alongside his younger brother and Shelton.

Kingston's father Gavin also chimed in, posting a sweet message on Instagram for his now-adult son.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY KINGSTON -18 today and a massive step into your future. So far the best ride of my life and I can’t wait to see where you go from here. I have total belief in you and deeply admire the man within. You have grace, charm and humility. You are at the wheel of your destiny so choose wisely," he wrote.

"Your musical talent is nuts and soon the world will hear your heart sing. Follow your muse, stay curious and keep creating. I could not love you more than I do. I wish you all the happiness, all the health and all the creativity. Love you, Dad."

Let's look back at Gwen Stefani’s relationship history.

Who is Gwen Stefani married to now?

Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton officially tied the knot in 2021, choosing to announce the news on Instagram by sharing photos of their special day.

"July 3rd 2021 dreams do come. @blakeshelton I love you," she wrote at the time.

Stefani wore a strapless Vera Wang gown with her signature red lip, while Shelton wore a three-piece suit. The intimate ceremony took place on Shelton's 1,300-acre ranch in Oklahoma.

After five years of dating, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton announced their engagement back in October 2020.

"Yes, please!" Stefani wrote, sharing the news on Instagram.

"Thanks for saving my 2020. And the rest of my life. I love you. I heard a YES!" Shelton shared.

The couple first met on the set ofThe Voicein 2014.

At the time, Stefani was still married to her first husband Gavin Rossdale, and Shelton was married to fellow country singer Miranda Lambert.

While Stefani and Shelton were merely acquaintances, the pair became close when they began to experience the breakdown of their marriages at the same time.

After Shelton shared with the cast that his marriage with Lambert was coming to an end, Stefani asked to speak with him privately.

"I thought it was going to be another one of those things-are-going-to-be-OK talks," Shelton recalled.

"She didn’t tell me much, because we didn’t know each other at the time, but she said, 'I’m going through something very similar to what you’re going through. I understand. And I hate it.' That’s kind of how our friendship and bond started."

Soon enough, the pair exchanged phone numbers as they slowly became closer.

"It went from that, to checking in on each other once a week through email — 'This shit happened to me, what happened to you?' — to maybe three times a week, then every day, to 'Hey, here’s my phone number if you ever want to text.' Next thing I know, I wake up and she’s all I care about, and I’m ­wo
