Who is she?
She grew up near the beaches in Southern California. And in her twenties, this talented singer rose to fame with her surf punk vibe when she joined a band. Who is she?
She is Gwen Stefani.
The star started the band No Doubt and then married Gavin Rossdale.
Stefani embarked on a solo pop career in 2004 with the release of her debut studio album Love. Angel. Music. Baby.
She and Gavin split in 2017 and she subsequently fell for her The Voice co-star Blake Shelton whom she married in 2021.
This comes after Shelton admitted that his stepfather changed him “in every way possible.”
The 47-year-old country singer officially became stepfather to her sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, in 2021, six years after her divorce from ex Gavin Rossdale.
He told Entertainment Tonight, “I learned quickly, not because anything happened, but just, you know, reading the room, you really [to think]“I need to take a step back.”
“When people say it’s not about you anymore when you have a kid… I think if you do it right, it’s not about you anymore. That’s true.’
Blake first met the 54-year-old No Doubt singer a decade ago when she joined The Voice, and although they didn’t talk much during that first season, the pieces eventually “fell together.”
He is looking forward to the future and admitted he would be happy with “a repeat of the last ten years.”

He said, ‘If I could have a repeat of the last ten years, [that] would be perfect.
“We have an 18-year-old next month, and I’m surprised this has happened already. And in a few years we will have another 18-year-old.
“And that’s…I think it’ll be a lot more time for myself, and I’m not mad about that either. But we still have Apollo, so we still have almost ten years before we can throw him out, so it should be a lot of fun.”
When it comes to the way he has embraced raising Gwen’s children and taking them in as his own, Blake is inspired by the way his father treated his younger brother by getting married.

He previously told the Country Radio Seminar: “He hired Richie and raised him from the time he was one year old, and my brother never thought of my dad as anything but his dad.
‘The example my father gave me was that [child] wasn’t even a consideration [in a romantic partnership]. Do you have three boys? Awesome! My father did it.
‘My father raised me. I could do this. I didn’t know what I was signing up for, but I wanted to sign up for it all. And every day I fall in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.”
