Gwen Stefani’s son, Zuma, is growing up fast!
On Thursday, August 21, Gwen Stefani celebrated her son Zuma’s birthday with a sweet message on social media.
The “Hollaback Girl” singer paired the post with a carousel of photos and videos of her son through the years. Fans got to see previously unseen moments of Zuma singing and playing the guitar, along with a mix of adorable baby pictures.
“happy birthday to our sweet and talented Zuma!! we love u soooo much!!” she wrote in the caption.
Family, friends, and fans flooded the comment section with birthday messages for Zuma, while also praising his singing skills.
“Happiest Birthday to sweet Zuma! I think a country star is being born with the sweet wisdom and loving guidance of Papa Blake,” a fan wrote.
“Country looks good on you Zuma! Happy birthday,” another said.
“Happy birthday to this AMAZING boy!!!! So much talent in this wonderful Family,” someone else wrote.
Zuma Has Recently Been Diving Full Force Into His Singing Career
The 17-year-old has been making more public appearances, getting used to singing in front of a live audience.
Just last month, he performed a set of country throwbacks for a packed crowd at his stepdad Blake Shelton’s Ole Red bar in Oklahoma.
Before Zuma took the stage, Shelton gave him an introduction, telling the crowd that he and Stefani listen to Zuma sing at home and truly believe he has something special.
“So tonight, we also have another up-and-coming artist who’s played here, I think, maybe three or four times now. And it’s exciting for us because we hear him sit around the house playing, and we’re always the ones saying, ‘You gotta get out there and sing in front of people, man; you’re really talented’,” he told the bar full of people.
Zuma walked up on stage looking almost like a mini version of Shelton, wearing a cowboy hat and carrying an American flag guitar. During his set, he sang a cover of John Michael Montgomery’s 1995 hit “Sold (The Grundy County Auction Incident), and kept it in the family by performing Shelton’s “Ol’ Red.”
