Blake Shelton's real feelings about being stepdad to Gwen Stefani's kids revealed

Blake Shelton is truly fulfilled by his role as a stepdad to Gwen Stefani’s sons Kingston, 18, Zuma, now 16, and Apollo, 10.

“When Blake got together with Gwen, he got an instant family,” a tipster told Life & Style. “A lot of guys would have been intimidated, but being a stepdad has fulfilled Blake in ways he never thought possible.”

“Gwen loves the sweet bond Blake shares with them. It makes her heart want to explode,” the source added.

The country singer is happy he gets to teach the boys country stuff. “I get to teach them the country,” he said back in April. “Whether it’s music, whether it’s literally getting out, getting their hands in the dirt, or being out on the ranch, seeing the animals … I absolutely love being the person that gets to introduce them to that stuff.”

Blake’s support even encouraged Zuma to enter the realm of country music. The 16-year-old made his stage debut during the Hillbilly Bone hitmaker’s Tishomingo, Oklahoma, bar, Ole Red.

“He’s decided that he’s a country guy,” a beaming Blake announced after introducing Zum as “our middle son.”

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani got married on July 3rd, 2021 after meeting as The Voice judges.
