He was once Gwen Stefani’s little blonde-haired boy, growing up in the spotlight alongside two famous rock stars.
Today, Zuma Rossdale is a bearded 18-year-old with a guitar in his hands — and a future in music that is already turning heads.
Gwen Stefani isn’t just a world-famous superstar with millions in the bank and a massive fan base — she’s a mom, too. Recently, she singer celebrated her son’s 18th birthday with a touching collection of photos and videos spanning his childhood to today.

The transformation was striking, but there was something else fans couldn’t help noticing.
As Zuma has grown older, he hasn’t simply inherited his parents’ love of music. He has developed a sound and style of his own, one that leans heavily into country and the Western lifestyle.

And that has made his connection with his famous stepfather, Blake Shelton, even more interesting.
From Rock-Star Baby to Young Musician
Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale was born on August 21, 2008, to Gwen Stefani and Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale. With a No Doubt singer for a mother and a rock star for a father, music was always part of his world.

When Zuma was only 3, the “Hollaback Girl” hitmaker already had a pretty good idea of what kind of personality her son had. Gwen Stefani described him as a natural entertainer who loved being the center of attention.
