Gwen Stefani is ‘hoping’ eldest son Kingston, 17, can make it as a pop star… after making stage debut with stepfather Blake Shelton: ‘He has a heap of musical talent’

Gwen Stefani is ‘hoping’ that her eldest son can successfully follow in her footsteps and make it as a pop star.

The 53-year-old singer recently saw Kingston, 17, join his country singer stepdad Blake Shelton on stage and is now guiding him as he considers a pop career as he has a ‘heap of musical talent’.

A source told this week’s edition of Star magazine: ‘Gwen and Blake want Kingston to not take things ultra seriously.

‘But there’s hope that he can make it to the top. Gwen has always known he has a heap of musical talent.

‘She used to joke he was a superstar in the making. He’s looking to his mom and Blake for advice with his playing technique, how he carries himself and the types of songs that suit his abilities!’

Meanwhile last month Kingston Rossdale made his stage debut with a special guest performance at Blake Shelton’s bar Ole Red in Tishomingo, Oklahoma.

The 17-year-old son of rockers Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, 57, was introduced on Friday by his stepfather Blake, 47, before he took the stage.

‘I’m very excited, actually honored, to be the first one to introduce this guy to the stage for the very first time ever,’ Blake said in fan video circulating on social media.

‘This guy’s an artist, he’s the real deal and you guys are going to be able to say that you were there at his very first ever public performance,’ Blake added.

‘His music is rock so I bet we got some rock fans out here. He’s only 17 years old, everybody. Here he is, Mr. Kingston Rossdale, everybody!,’ Blake bellowed as he introduced the teenager.

Kingston wore a loose gray Carhartt T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers while singing along with a keyboardist and guitarist.

‘Love you guys, thank you for being here!,’ Kingston said after performing to a cheering audience.

‘Thank you, it means everything to me, really. I hope you guys had a great night, enjoy yourselves!,’ he added.

Blake then joined Kingston on the stage and they hugged each other.

The country star earlier performed a free acoustic show and also performed with his wife Gwen on Friday at the bar.

Blake and Gwen own Ten Point Ranch in the same town as Ole Red and they got married at the ranch on July 3, 2021.

Gwen also has sons Zuma, 14, and Apollo, nine, with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, 47.

Blake teased Kingston’s performance last Wednesday on social media.

He posted on X, former Twitter, that he was going to ‘turn the stage over to a debut artist that will be doing their VERY FIRST public performance! See you at the @OleRed Tishomingo Doghouse!!!! You never know who else may show up.’

Gwen and Gavin split in 2015 after 13 years of marriage.

Gavin also is the father of English fashion model Daisy Lowe, 34, who welcomed daughter Ivy in April. A paternity test in 2004 revealed that Daisy’s godfather Gavin also was her biological father.

Gwen will be returning for the upcoming 24th season of The Voice on NBC.

Blake after serving as a judge since the show’s premiere in 2011 left after last season.

Earlier this year, the Hollaback Girl hitmaker travelled to the UK to support Pink on tour and brought her brood along with her.

Although she was proud that her boys got to see her on stage, Gwen accepts that they will always see her as ‘just mom’.

During an appearance on UK TV show Lorraine, when Gwen was asked if they think she is the ‘coolest mom’, she replied: ‘Absolutely not! They’re just like, “Oh, that’s my mom’ I think that they love me. I love them. They’re here in London actually.

“They’re having so much fun and they’re like, ‘Wow, we’re in London!’ It’s been so long since we’ve all been here with the pandemic and everything going on, it feels like time has just fast-forwarded.”
