Gwen Stefani, the beloved singer and coach on “The Voice,” recently reflected on the challenges of being a mother while on tour. Her eldest son, Kingston Rossdale, is now 17 years old and has a girlfriend. He shared a photo of the two of them, revealing that they have been together for six years. This news brought up mixed emotions among fans.

Stefani had a surreal moment when she watched Kingston perform for the first time at her step-father’s bar and music venue in Oklahoma. She shared that her son has always been a songwriter from a young age, and she couldn’t help but praise his talent. However, it was Blake Shelton who encouraged Kingston to share his songs with an audience. This experience was incredibly emotional for Stefani, as it reminded her of the challenges she faced in her early days of motherhood.

Before pursuing a solo career, Stefani was the lead singer of the rock band No Doubt. During those days, she had to juggle her music career with being a mother. She even went on a world tour with Kingston when he was just nine months old and had to nurse him before going on stage. Stefani confessed that it was a difficult time for her emotionally, as she didn’t want to miss out on precious moments with her family.

Now, at 53 years old, Stefani enjoys the quieter days of her life, spending time gardening with her husband. She takes pride in successfully raising her three boys and wishes to be more present in their teenage years. Balancing a career and motherhood continues to be a struggle for her.

As for Kingston, he recently revealed that he has been dating his girlfriend for six years. He shared a photo on Instagram to celebrate what seemed like an anniversary. While some people expressed concern about their long-term relationship at such a young age, others found it endearing and wished them all the best. It’s no surprise that Kingston has found love, considering his mother was his first love as well.
