Gwen Stefani’s sons cheer on stepdad Blake Shelton at the 2026 ACM Awards

Country music star Blake Shelton had plenty of family support during his recent appearance at the 2026 ACM Awards. Taking the stage for a special performance, the 49-year-old singer delivered a heartfelt cover of the classic hit "The Gambler" to honor the late songwriter Don Schlitz. Watching proudly from the audience were Gwen Stefani's sons, Zuma and Apollo, who were seen happily bopping along to the music. Behind the scenes, social media footage captured a touching moment as Shelton shared a warm hug with young Apollo after stepping off the stage.

While Gwen herself was unable to attend due to her busy schedule with the No Doubt residency at the Las Vegas Sphere, the presence of her children spoke volumes. The heartwarming family outing also stands as a firm counter to persistent internet speculation regarding the state of Shelton and Stefani's nearly five-year marriage, proving their family bond remains incredibly strong.
