Blake Shelton's Stepsons Zuma and Apollo Shine at 2026 ACM Awards
Gwen Stefani's sons, Zuma and Apollo, made a subtle appearance at the 2026 ACM Awards to support their stepdad, Blake Shelton. The boys were seen in the audience dancing and clapping along during Jordan Davis' performance. Shelton, who performed a tribute to songwriter Don Schlitz, shared a hug with Apollo at the ceremony. Stefani shares three sons with her ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, and Shelton has embraced his role as a stepdad to Zuma and Apollo, who have shown an interest in country music.
Zuma and Apollo, aged 17 and 12 respectively, have performed at Shelton's Ole Red bar in Oklahoma. Zuma, in particular, has displayed a passion for singing country music, impressing the crowd with his rendition of John Michael Montgomery's song. While Stefani was likely occupied with her Las Vegas residency with No Doubt, Shelton and Stefani have been juggling their schedules, occasionally missing each other's events due to conflicting commitments in the same city.
Despite their busy schedules, Shelton and Stefani have managed to support each other's endeavors, with Shelton joking about the overlapping residency nights. The couple's blended family dynamic was on display at the ACM Awards, where Zuma and Apollo showed their support for Shelton's performance. The boys' musical talents and their bond with Shelton highlight the harmonious relationship within the family.
