Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani quickly became everyone’s favorite couple after meeting on The Voice in 2014. The pair announced their engagement in 2020 and tied the knot the next year at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch. The “God’s Country” singer has spoken openly about becoming a stepfather to Stefani’s three sons, saying, “[It”s] about the only thing I do take pretty serious in my life.” Recently, 15-year-old Zuma Rossdale made his country music debut at Shelton’s bar.

Gwen Stefani’s Son Takes The Stage At Ole Red
Zuma is Gwen Stefani’s oldest son with her ex-husband, former Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. So it’s not surprising the kid can carry a tune. The 15-year-old took the stage Monday (July 29) at Shelton’s Ole Red bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. Shelton grinned broadly as he announced his stepson: “This is him, everybody!”
Sporting a cowboy hat matching Shelton’s, Zuma took his stepfather’s place on the stool and strummed along on his guitar as he sang Zach Bryan’s 2022 hit “Oklahoma Smokeshow.”
On social media, fans called for a duet between the five-time CMA Vocalist of the year and his stepson. “Zuma sounds great!” wrote one X/Twitter user. “And Blake grinning ear to ear!”
Another fan added, “I know he is Blake’s stepson but he definitely looks and sounds like his stepfather! Blake must be so proud!”
Other social media users noted the obvious bond between Shelton and Gwen Stefani’s son. “The way Zuma glanced at Blake before he started performing and Blake giving him the thumbs up sign omg,” one fan wrote on X/Twitter.
Will Blake Shelton Return to ‘The Voice?’
Blake Shelton retired from The Voice in May 2023 after 12 years and 23 seasons. His wife, Gwen Stefani, is set to return to her big red chair this fall for season 26. She will join fellow veteran coach Reba McEntire and newcomers Michael Buble and Snoop Dogg.
Gwen Stefani’s return has many viewers wondering if her husband isn’t far behind. Adam Levine, Shelton’s longtime frenemy on The Voice, is also set to return next spring for season 27. According to reports, Levine “would love it” if the “Boys Round Here” singer joined him. However, Shelton has made it clear he doesn’t miss the job at all.
