Gwen Stefani's Journey Through Motherhood
Over the course of her illustrious career spanning decades, Gwen Stefani has picked up a wealth of knowledge about the music industry. But it wasn't until she stepped into the role of a mother that she truly began to understand herself on a deeper level. In a candid conversation with Shape magazine, Gwen shared some of the valuable lessons she's learned from raising her three sons. This is a side of her that fans don’t often get to see, and it reveals a more personal, relatable side of the star.
At 50 years old, Gwen is the proud mom of Kingston, 13, Apollo, 11, and Zuma, 5. She revealed that one of the most significant things her children have taught her is the importance of organization. "I lived at home until I was 26, then I had a tour manager, a manager, an assistant—you name it. Even on tour, there's someone who has the key to your hotel room," she explained in Shape's upcoming November issue. "But as a mom, you have to be the one in charge. It’s a whole new level of responsibility that’s taught me so much."
Building a New Life with Blake Shelton
Gwen, known for her hit song “Just a Girl” and her groundbreaking work with No Doubt, also opened up about her life with Blake Shelton. The two have built a beautiful relationship that has helped her heal after some tough times. "I feel like I've spent the last four years healing—trying to rebuild my life," she said, with a sense of gratitude. "Having a best friend like Blake to help me through it all has been one of the greatest gifts I could ever ask for."

Gwen shares her three children with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, and she's found immense joy in staying true to her L.A. roots. "I’m kind of an unusual product of an ordinary California family," she reflected. "My parents met in high school, my mom never worked, and we went to church on Sundays. It's a part of who I am, even though now I get to travel the world and experience so much more."
A Life Between Two Worlds
While Gwen and her family live in Los Angeles, she's also been enjoying visits to Blake's ranch in Oklahoma. This new chapter in her life has introduced her to a simpler way of living. "Spending time in the middle of America is something I never expected," she admitted. "At the ranch, life is straightforward. We’ve got watermelons that Blake planted and all my wildflowers. It's a refreshing contrast to the hustle and bustle of L.A., although I do keep 20 chickens in my backyard here at home too."
