Keeping it in the family! Gwen Stefani's 15-year-old son Zuma is taking after his mom, dad, brother, and stepdad as he made his country music debut on July 29 on stage with Blake Shelton.
The teen joined stepdad Blake at Blake's Ole Red bar in Oklahoma, performing Zach Bryan's "Oklahoma Smokeshow," to huge cheers from the guests, as can be seen in fan videos.
Blake had been performing for the fans, before he proudly introduced his stepson to the crowds: "Zuma Rossdale, everybody!"
Gwen welcomed her three sons – Apollo, Zuma, and Kingston – with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, who is the lead singer of the British band Bush. Gwen is also the front woman for California ska-rock band No Doubt and a solo star, with three Grammy wins and 18 nominations.
Blake has been nominated eight times and Gavin once.
Gwen and Blake began dating in 2015 when Zuma was just seven, and so Blake's love for country music will have been instilled in the teen at a young age. Blake and Gwen wed in 2021.
"If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I'm missing out on some more important things in life," he began.
"For now, that's our kids. This isn't about me anymore and never will be again."

He also admitted that "there's definitely nothing easy about" being a step-parent, but shared that he tries not to take it so seriously that he doesn't "enjoy this time" with the kids.
"Especially, you know, now that we're five years into this thing, I can't imagine my life without these kids now," he said.
