Gwen Stefani Talks Fame, Family, No Doubt, and Receiving Her Star on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame

Joe Levy On a fall Friday, Gwen Stefani is coming to the end of a busy week and headed into a busy weekend. “I have three boys,” she says. “Two of them are teenagers.

They have their own schedule; I have Blake’s schedule.” That would be her husband of two years, country singer Blake Shelton. “I have to coordinate with their dad” — that would be her ex-husband, rock singer Gavin Rossdale — “and then I have ‘The Voice.’” That would be the NBC singing competition which last season — its 23rd, and Shelton’s final year as a coach — occupied not one but two slots in the top 20 of Neilsen’s rankings of the 2022-2023 TV season. “Plus,” she adds, “I’m making a record.” Stefani had spent the previous three days on the set of “The Voice,” where she recently returned for a seventh time as a coach, and in three days she’d be marking her 54th birthday in Hawaii (although the trip there was for a concert, not to celebrate).

That would come a day early, on Sunday, after a football game in which her two oldest sons — Kingston, 17, and Zuma, 15 — were both playing. “They’re at the same school,” she says. “It’s really tiny.

They barely have enough people to even have a football team, but they’re on it together.” She says this brightly and a little breathlessly, which is something of a default mode for her in conversation, and then she added something likely to get an eye roll from most teenage football players: “It’s really cute.” After the football game on Sunday she was having a joint party with her 14-year-old niece, with whom she shares a birthday. “My whole family’s coming over,” she explains. “My mom’s making me lasagna.” Superstars, concerts and TV tapings aside, Stefani almost sounds like your average overscheduled mom of three..
