Kingston’s Stunning Transformation: Looks Just Like Dad Gavin Rossdale!

There’s no doubt Gwen Stefani‘s son is all grown up. 

In a tribute to mark his 19th birthday, the singer known for “Hollaback Girl” posted pictures featuring her eldest son Kingston with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. These images clearly show how much he’s grown and changed over the years.

On May 26th, one of the old pictures shared to Instagram showed a young Kingston (with bleached blonde hair and wearing a navy jacket) standing alongside his mom and older brother Zuma (now 16 years old). This photo was taken on the set of ‘The Voice’, where Gwen has served as a coach for nine non-overlapping seasons since her debut in 2014.

In a more contemporary photo from the collection, I found myself resembling my rocker father’s doppelgänger, Kingston. He, with his long, brown tresses and denim jacket, was beaming for a selfie with the enchanting singer of No Doubt.

In a heartfelt message, Gwen penned, “Kingston, you’ve irrevocably transformed my world,” accompanied by a collection of cherished snapshots featuring her children spending quality time with their stepfather, the one and only Blake Shelton, whom she married in 2021. “We adore you immensely. Wishing you a joyous birthday.

Additionally, it’s worth noting that Gwen, who shares son Apollo, aged 11, with Gavin and is also mom to Kingston and Zuma, doesn’t often share details about her eldest child. However, in the past, she has given some insight into his interests as he grows more independent.

Indeed, the 55-year-old disclosed that Kingston has embarked on a similar path as his parents by delving into songwriting and making his live solo debut at Blake’s bar Ole Red in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, during the year 2023.

Gwen shared with People that King has been penning some extraordinary tunes. She said, “It’s different when it’s your child, but these songs are exceptional. They’re truly impressive to me.

After separating from Gwen in 2016 after 13 years of marriage, Gavin has expressed a similar viewpoint and mentioned enjoying seeing their son Kingston getting involved with his professional life.

The lead singer from Bush said to People magazine in 2020 that he finds his guitar playing friend delightful because when he plays, he prefers wearing the singer’s clothes. In fact, the friend often looks better in them than the singer does.

For more times Gwen—and Blake—have opened up about life with their blended family, keep reading. 

In my opinion, he’s quite attractive, isn’t he? However, I must admit, it’s somewhat astonishing that we both experienced the same situation at the same time. There have been countless individuals who have provided me with great solace. Simply by sharing their experiences, they’ve helped me look at things from a fresh angle and move forward.

In another words, Blake mentioned on Today in March 2018 that he can’t help but feel deeply in love, as she is exceptional and extraordinary.

When your heart is shattered – as mine certainly was – you need a way to release those feelings. You crave empathy, understanding. I hit my lowest point, feeling like I was stuck in the depths of despair…but Gwen was there for me. Who else could truly grasp going through a high-profile split from another well-known musician? (This is how Blake spoke to Billboard in July 2016)

As someone who was raised in the vibrant Orange County, I can tell you firsthand that it bears little resemblance to the heartland of America. My childhood was intertwined with the soothing embrace of the beach rather than the open plains. Therefore, discovering Oklahoma’s ranch-like ambiance has been an entirely novel and enriching experience for me – something I had never before encountered. Truly, it’s been a fantastic journey, an absolute marvel.

Hey Ellen, let me tell you something! You know, I’m just head over heels for wedding celebrations. The kids adore him, we adore him, and it seems everyone else does too. He’s simply irresistible! Can’t seem to get him off my mind, always thinking about how much I love him.

Gwen described her style as more feminine than it has been in the past, attributing this change to being deeply in love with a very masculine partner. She mentioned that while she was part of No Doubt, she didn’t see herself as sexy and even in her 30s, she leaned more towards tomboyish behavior, seldom carrying a purse.

Blake dislikes the idea of a photo shoot and refuses every time. So when he mentioned someone wanting him for one, I enthusiastically replied, ‘You absolutely should do it! You look amazing!'” (Gwen’s reaction to Blake being named People’s Sexiest Man Alive)

In simple terms, Gwen said that SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in September 2019, “He’s incredibly skillful at the show; he’s like a magician. Blake is so captivating, it’s as if he’s a mythical unicorn. Whenever he appears, people are naturally drawn to him, and his talent is truly remarkable.

At the rehearsal spot, I’m still amazed by how many huge hits @gwenstefani has composed… I strongly suggest you try to see her Vegas performance if you manage to grab tickets! (Tweet from Blake in June 2018)

Blake believes she prevented him from hitting rock bottom. It’s as if he was about to plunge off a cliff, but someone managed to grab him at the last moment. He has never experienced such unwavering support from anyone else before, and it’s an indescribably amazing feeling.

Ever since I was a young girl, I’ve yearned for the experience of marriage, emulating the deep love I observed between my parents, and starting a family. Tragically, this dream was shattered; it was as if it had been snuffed out, leaving me to rebuild my aspirations from scratch. And then, miraculously, Blake came into my life.” – Gwen to People in November 2024

Speaking with The Guardian in November 2024, Gwen shared: “Encountering my husband was like a new beginning for me. After my family disintegrated, it felt like an overwhelming disaster. It’s hard to find the strength to move on from such pain, but somehow God placed this person by my side to offer love.
