Gavin Rossdale is soaking up the sun, and enjoying a summer well spent next to his sons with ex-wife Gwen Stefani.
The Bush frontman and the 'Hollaback Girl' singer were married for 14 years until their 2016 divorce, and share sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 14, and Apollo, nine.
Though the three boys spend most of their time living with their mom and stepdad Blake Shelton between Los Angeles and Oklahoma, in a new photo shared by their dad, Apollo is seen both soaking up the sun and time with his dad.

Just last month, Gavin opened up about his approach to parenting – he also shares daughter Daisy Lowe, 34, with ex-girlfriend Pearl Lowe – and how it differs from that of his ex-wife Gwen's.

He continued: "I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they'd really like to inherit and move on with, and which part comes out of the whole process."

Gavin ultimately maintained that: "The main thing is I'm really connected to them, that's what I want. It'd be so sad to be any other way."
