Blake Shelton is proving to be his three stepsons' biggest champion, exhibiting his relationship with them as a role model on social media.
His wife Gwen Stefani shares three sons with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale: 18-year-old Kingston, 16-year-old Zuma and 11-year-old Apollo.
While Apollo is still too young, Kingston and Zuma have caught the musical bug from their parents. The former is a rock head and a big fan of both classic and alt-rock, while the latter is following in his stepdad's path.

The former The Voice coach spread the word of his stepson's return by rallying his nearly seven million followers to show up for his show if they're in the area.
"Hey y'all our boy Zuma is gonna do a 6pm performance at @olered Tishomingo restaurant this Friday!" he wrote on his Instagram Stories. "Come check him out!"

"That would be a lot of fun. I know that that would be Gwen's dream come true is to have, like, a family band or something like that," he said, but also confessed that recording with his wife alone was good enough. "I don't feel like I want to make a record without a duet with Gwen on it anymore. She's my favorite person to sing with."
Bush frontman Gavin remains close with all three of his sons and has a cordial relationship as a co-parent with Blake and Gwen, his wife from 2002-2016.

"He's into the Pumpkins, which is great. They're an incredible band. We love Billy [Corgan], we love the Deftones, and it's so fun – walking past his room, and he's playing a Deftones riff." Take a look at Kingston's skills in the video below...
"I got him a Logic studio for Christmas," he continued. "He's got my whole [guitar] pedal rig, a bunch of vintage guitars, all this stuff. I've helped him out to have a nice setup, but that is it."
"As opposed to really recording so much for himself, he's begun to work with other people and he's written some way legit, Justin Bieber-quality singles. I'm like, 'Oh god, it's really good. I can't believe it.' He has such a great ear for melody."
