Gwen Stefani recently revealed that her youngest son, Apollo, was conceived after what she describes as a spiritual awakening. In a candid interview with Hallow: Prayer & Meditation, the 56‑year‑old singer explained that at age 44 she had been longing for another child but believed she was too old.
Around that time, she began having deep conversations with a colleague who had converted to Judaism, which she said “woke [her] up” spiritually.
Stefani recalled her son Kingston, then 8, praying nightly for a sibling and just weeks later, she discovered she was pregnant with Apollo, whom she calls her “first miracle.”
Stefani shares three sons Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo with her ex‑husband Gavin Rossdale, whom she married in the Catholic Church in 2002.
Their marriage ended in divorce in 2016, and the annulment was finalized in 2021, allowing Stefani to remarry within the church.
She described the annulment as a “huge relief,” since she wanted her union with Blake Shelton to be recognized by her priest.
Stefani and Shelton, who began dating in 2015, tied the knot in 2021 at Shelton’s Oklahoma ranch, where he built a chapel for the ceremony.
Shelton, 49, had previously been married to Kaynette Williams and later to Miranda Lambert.
For Stefani, her marriage to Shelton marked a new chapter both personally and spiritually.
Reflecting on Apollo’s birth, she emphasized the role of faith and prayer in her journey, describing the experience as a profound gift that reshaped her outlook on family and spirituality.
