Gwen Stefani Ignores Gavin Rossdale in Father’s Day Post to Blake Shelton
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton met on The Voice and began dating in 2015. The No Doubt singer and the country star connected over their past failed marriages, as Stefani was married to rockstar Gavin Rossdale and Shelton married fellow country singer Miranda Lambert. For Father’s Day 2024, Stefani gave Shelton a shoutout, but she didn’t mention the father of her three kids, Rossdale.
Gwen Stefani wished Blake Shelton a happy Father’s Day and ignored Gavin Rossdale
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were married from 2002 to 2016, and they have three kids together. Kingston, 18, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, spend time with Rossdale in Los Angeles and Stefani and Blake Shelton in Oklahoma. Shelton has no children, but he talked about taking on stepdad duties for Stefani’s kids. He mentioned how becoming a stepfather came with challenges, but he loves showing her children a new way of life in the South.
Stefani posted an Instagram tribute to Shelton for Father’s Day in 2024. The post started with a clip of Stefani walking behind Shelton in Oklahoma and calling him the “hardest working guy” she’s “ever met.” She included photos of Shelton handing her flowers and hanging out with her three kids. Another clip she included shows Shelton dressed in a pink rabbit suit while her boys excitedly run up to him on the stairs.
Stefani didn’t mention Rossdale in her Father’s Day post. While the two co-parent, they don’t appear to spend time together with their kids.
Gavin Rossdale posted his own Father’s Day post
Gavin Rossdale didn’t pay Gwen Stefani’s Father’s Day post any mind. He created his own Father’s Day post to celebrate his status as a dad of three.
Rossdale posted a black-and-white photo of him with his three kids.
“Happy Father’s Day to me and all the dads out there who love their kids and do the very best they can,” Rossdale captioned the post. “I’m really lucky to have these extraordinary people to call my own. It’s a wild journey where love and support and patience wins all the way.”
The rocker also reposted a Father’s Day tribute to him from a fan page.
Rossdale discussed in the past how he and Stefani parent differently. “We’re really different people,” he said on the Not So Hollywood podcast in June 2023. “I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up. I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which piece of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with, and which part of themselves comes out. That’s what’s important is to give them a wide view of things. We definitely have some particularly opposing views, so I think it’ll be really helpful for them to make their own ones, as they should as individuals.”
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton reportedly hoped to find a surrogate to have children together
Should fans expect to see Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton having kids of their own one day soon? In April 2024, a source alleged to Life & Style that the famous couple was looking for a surrogate. However, it’s reportedly “been a struggle” for the couple to find someone.
“In one instance, friends say Gwen wanted to use a surrogate in California and Blake wanted someone far removed from Hollywood,” the source claimed. “In another case, the surrogate backed out because of the pressure. When it doesn’t work out, it’s wrenching for Gwen and Blake.”
The couple allegedly considered surrogacy in 2018. A source told Us Weekly that Stefani and Shelton wanted a biological child together. Ultimately, that never panned out.
“It’s extremely important to Gwen that she give Blake a biological child, and Blake is so excited,” the source said.
