He grew up near the beaches of Southern California.
And when she was 20, this talented singer became famous with her surf punk vibe when she joined a band.
The star had hits for many years that saw her tour around the world.
She went out on her own and even came up with a clothing line.
She made her film debut playing Jean Harlow in Martin Scorsese’s The Aviator in 2004.
And her wedding to the boy of her dreams, a British rocker, made front-page news while wearing a pink ombre dress.
They had three children and then divorced.
Then this cover girl who never seems to age married her co-star on a competition show and they seem to live happily ever after.
On Sunday, Father’s Day, he posted this throwback photo.
Who is she?
He grew up near the beaches of Southern California. And when she was 20 years old, this talented singer became famous with her surf punk vibe when she joined a band. Who is she?
This is Gwen Stefani.
The star started with the band No Doubt and later married Gavin Rossdale.
Stefani embarked on a solo pop career in 2004 by releasing her debut studio album Love. Angel. Music. Baby.
She and Gavin split in 2017 and she later fell in love with her The Voice co-star Blake Shelton, whom she married in 2021.
This comes after Shelton admitted that being a stepfather had changed him “in every way possible.”
The 47-year-old country singer officially became a stepdad to her sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, in 2021, six years after her split from ex Gavin Rossdale.
He told Entertainment Tonight: “I learned quickly, not because anything happened, but just, you know, reading the room, you really have to think, ‘I have to take a step back.'”
‘When people say it’s not about you anymore when you have a child… I think if you’re doing it right, it’s not about you anymore. That’s true.’
Blake met the No Doubt singer, 54, a decade ago when she joined The Voice, and although they didn’t talk much during that first season, eventually “the pieces were falling into place.”
He is looking forward to the future and admitted that he would be happy to “repeat these last 10 years.”

He said: ‘If I could repeat these last 10 years, it would be perfect.’
‘Next month, we’re having an 18-year-old, and I’m surprised it’s already happened. And in a couple of years we will have another 18 year old.
‘And that… I guess it’ll be a lot more time alone, which doesn’t bother me either. “But we still have Apollo, so we have another almost 10 years before we can kick him out, so it should be a lot of fun.”
When it came to how he agreed to raise Gwen’s children and accept them as his own, Blake was inspired by the way his father treated his younger brother by marriage.

He previously told Country Radio Seminar: ‘He took Richie in and raised him since he was 1, and my brother never thought of my dad as anything other than his dad.
‘The example my dad gave me was that (the child) wasn’t even a consideration (in a romantic partnership). Do you have three children? Awesome! My dad did it.
‘My dad raised me. I could do this. I didn’t know what he was signing me up for, but he was willing to sign me up. And every day I have fallen in love with the boys as much as I have with Gwen.
