Gwen Stefani took a trip down memory lane with a heartwarming series of photos and videos to mark her son Zuma’s special day.
To celebrate her son’s 17th birthday, the No Doubt singer shared an adorable montage on Instagram.
Among the snapshots and clips, fans were especially moved when they noticed Blake Shelton’s influence reflected in his stepson Zuma’s style and personality.
Stefani shares Zuma, Kingston, 19, and Apollo, 11, with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. The couple split in 2015, and she later tied the knot with the country star.
The post included several shots of the birthday boy exuding the country musician aesthetics, starting with an image of him wearing a cowboy hat and denim jacket while tuning his guitar.
The Just a Girl hitmaker also featured a video of her teenage son preparing to take the stage, dressed in a cowboy hat, flannel shirt, and jeans, as Shelton, 49, introduced him to the crowd.
Another sweet moment showed Zuma and Austin chart topper posing side by side, matching in cowboy hats and flannel shirts.
Fans were in awe of Shelton’s involvement in his stepchildren’s lives, with one commenting, “Aww, he picked up Blake’s mannerisms when he sings. So cute. Love that Blake has had such a positive impact on your kids.”
Another fan wrote, “Blake seems like an incredibly loving stepdad. Your kids are blessed to have him.”
A third added, “Awww [red heart emoji] We can see Blake’s musical influence on him. [clapping emoji] This kid is talented.”
The adorable post continued with baby photos of Zuma, along with playful and sweet selfies of him with his mom.
The proud mom captioned the post, “Happy birthday to our sweet and talented Zuma!! We love u soooo much!! [red heart emoji].”
