Blake Shelton may not have children of his own, but he certainly has a mini-me in his stepson.

The "God's Country" singer married Gwen Stefani in 2021, becoming a stepdad to her sons with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, 20, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 12.

Zuma has in recent years especially taken after his stepdad with his love for country music, and now he is taking on his cowboy look as well.

Over the weekend, Gwen and No Doubt concluded their Las Vegas residency at the Sphere, for which her family stepped out in support.

As seen in videos shared on social media, as the concert came to an end, all of the No Doubt members' kids were invited on to the stage, with Zuma and Apollo hopping on to greet their mom.

Zuma in the process showed off just how much he is taking after Blake, appearing in black jeans with a gray, western-style shirt and a black cowboy hat to boot.

After clips of the boys' rare appearance were shared on social media, fans were quick to gush over them, with one writing: "Always the biggest cheerleaders," as others followed suit with: "Awwwee look at them all!" and: "Zuma with the cowboy hat!" as well as: "Yes! Amazing!!!! Oh my god full circle miracles!!!"

For over the past year, Zuma has started exploring his own possible music career, following in the footsteps of both his dad and stepdad.

Last summer, he made a slew of appearances on stage, both with Gavin on one occasion and Blake on others, including at the latter's Ole Red bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

Gavin has also opened up about his kids' music inclinations, and how they differ from his own. Speaking with Us Weekly last summer, he revealed: "One son loves the Pumpkins and … Zuma, he's got the country bug," and cheekily noted: "I have no idea where he gets that from, but he's got it."

He went on to comment that while he certainly does "support him playing blues scales," he did admit it's not the easiest. "[It] is the last thing I want to hear in my house, really, to be honest," Gavin confessed, explaining: "Blues scales — there's a specific pentatonic scale that rock and roll uses that we've never used in Bush. We don't use that. …  So he comes in and shows the pentatonic scale. I'm like, 'Oh God.'"

"That's how much I love him. I will support him making any music. Even the blues," he further joked.
