Blake Shelton Brings Two Stepsons to Arizona Cardinals Game, Sparking a Buzz: His ‘Twin’ & Future ‘O-Line Prospect’

Country music star Blake Shelton, 48, recently made headlines, sparking a buzz with his appearance at the Arizona Cardinals game alongside his wife, Gwen Stefani, and her two sons, Zuma Rossdale and Apollo Rossdale.

The family of four attended the game at State Farm Stadium, where they were spotted cheering on the Cardinals as they played against Aaron Rodgers and the New York Jets.

The AZ Cardinals’ official Instagram account shared the family’s visit, captioning, “The stars are here! So happy to have @gwenstefani and @blakeshelton in the house 🤩.”

In the post, Gwen rocked a Cardinals jersey with the number one, paired with white heeled boots and oversized sunglasses, exuding her signature edgy style. Her youngest son, Apollo, donned a Cardinals jersey with the number three. Meanwhile, the eldest, Zuma, sported a white T-shirt and the Men’s New Era Cardinal Arizona Cardinals Main Trucker 9FIFTY Snapback Hat, looking every bit the fan.

Blake himself went for a relaxed look, wearing the Men’s Fanatics Cardinal/White Arizona Cardinals Fundamental Trucker Unstructured Adjustable Hat along with a casual navy blue shirt and jeans, embracing the day’s spirited atmosphere.

In another photo shared by the AZ Cardinals’ Instagram, Shelton was seen shaking hands with an unnamed man on the field, clearly enjoying his time on the sidelines.

Gwen, meanwhile, was captured holding an autographed Cardinals helmet, sparking fans to speculate she was holding it for Apollo.

A short video on the Arizona Cardinals’ official Instagram account showed the family together, with Blake, Gwen, Zuma, and Apollo posing on the field, creating a lasting memory of their game day experience. This snapshot of Blake’s bond with his stepsons, especially Zuma, has stirred heartwarming reactions from fans.

Fans flooded the post with comments, expressing admiration for the family’s close relationship. One user wrote, “Blake Shelton’s son looks like an O-Line prospect in the making.” Another fan clarified, “that’s not his son, that’s Gwen’s boys [sic].”

Zuma’s resemblance to Blake also caught attention, as one fan remarked, “Zuma is Blake twin and almost as tall as his dad (Blake)!! Gwen must be holding the helmet for Apollo!!🥰🤪. The Shelton’s are in the house . Happy Sunday ❤️[sic].” Another fan shared their admiration, saying, “I love them! Beautiful family!”

The sweet family dynamics between Blake and Gwen’s sons didn’t go unnoticed. Comments poured in, with fans noting, “What a cute 🥰 family. My favorite celebrity family,” and, “So sweet Blake really loves Gwyn and her boys and u can tell they love ❤️ him [sic].” One user observed the closeness between Blake and Apollo, writing, “Look how Gwen’s youngest loves Blake! 🥰.”

This wasn’t the first time the couple displayed their loyalty to the Cardinals. Back in December 2015, Blake and Gwen attended a game against the Green Bay Packers, proving their true fan spirit for the Arizona team.

Their latest appearance, however, was well received online. A fan on X shared a photo with the couple and wrote, “Congrats to the @AZCardinals! Think The Sheltons @blakeshelton @gwenstefani are your lucky charm.”

Along with supporting the Cardinals in Week 10 by making a pregame appearance, the star couple’s outing highlighted the strong bond Blake shares with his stepsons. Fans frequently note how much Zuma takes after the legendary songwriter, with some believing he might be closer to his stepdad than his biological one.

On July 29, Zuma took to the stage at Shelton’s bar, Ole Red, in Tishomingo to show off his musical prowess. Zuma performed a soulful rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” leaving the public swooning over his voice and his likeness to Shelton.

For his performance, Zuma donned a cowboy get-up that included blue jeans, a striped, long-sleeve shirt, and a black cowboy hat.

After thanking the crowd, Zuma began his performance, strumming his guitar as he passionately sang the lyrics to Bryan’s track.

At the end of his performance, the audience, including Blake, cheered loudly for the young talent who smiled happily at the crowd.

Footage from the performance clip also showed Zuma’s proud mom, Gwen, cheering her son on from the audience as she held her phone up to record the special moment.

Upon seeing the clip of Zuma making his country music debut, hordes of fans took to online platforms to praise his performance. Many even likened Zuma to a mini version of Blake.

“Wow!! So cool to see a little Blake. He’s so good!! You know Gwen and Blake were so proud. And the way he looked over at Blake at the end. Genuine,” gushed a fan. Another echoed, “Wow Zuma, our [mini Blake] ❤️.” “Omg he sings really Good 😌 👏,” added someone else.

“It’s weird to me how much he looks like Blake,” commented a netizen. An admirer swooned, “Wow! Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! I know he has a proud momma!! Hope to see him when I come to Nashville!!”

Others even went so far as to bring Zuma’s biological dad, Gavin Rossdale, into the discussion. Some made remarks about how Gavin must be bothered by the fact that Zuma resembles Blake more than him.

They also believed the British artist might have a problem with the close bond Blake had forged with Zuma and his two other stepsons, Kingston and Apollo Rossdale.

“Not that his opinion matters, but I’m thinking how salty Gavin probably is about this. Zuma has never looked like him and now he’s more inspired by Blake than him. Lol,” penned a commenter on YouTube.

Similarly, another chimed in with, “Wow little Zuma all grown up and killing it! I bet Gavin is proud and pissed. Blake has clearly taken his [step-dad] role seriously 💕.” A netizen praised, “Great.. Blake loves her children.” “That’s Blake’s son now,” remarked an Instagrammer.

The performance many marveled at was not the only song the budding musician sang during the show. Footage from another video shared on YouTube shows Zuma serenading the crowd with a song titled “Revival,” which again left the audience impressed.

His stepdad proudly watched from a distance during Zuma’s first performance, cheering him on. The stepfather of Gwen’s three boys adores all of them as though they were his own.

In April 2024, Blake Shelton sat down for an interview in which he discussed the close relationship he shares with Zuma, Kingston, and Apollo. During the discussion, he was asked what his favorite part about being with them is and what the dynamics of their relationship look like.

In response, Blake divulged, “I think for me, is the discovery part of where they’re at […] Because I get to teach ’em the country […] and I love that, you know. Whether it’s music, whether it’s literally […] getting out, getting their hands in the dirt, or […] being out on the ranch.”

The “Austin” artist then reiterated how much he adores getting to be the person who introduces the boys to that kind of lifestyle and expressed his love for them. Joining Blake in raising Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo is, of course, their doting mom, Gwen Stefani.

Blake has made it known, on several occasions, how much he is in awe of his beloved wife and how much he adores her. One such instance saw him sing Gwen’s praises at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony on October 19, 2023. At the event, he commended her as a phenomenal mom and entertainer.

Amid the loving husband’s swoon-worthy speech, fans could not help but divert their attention to Zuma, Apollo, and Kingston Rossdale.

Observant social media users noted that the “Hollaback Girl” singer’s middle son, Zuma, looked “completely” like Blake. They added that the pair even shared the same dimples. Fans noticed the resemblance in Apollo too, with one fan commenting, “Her youngest is like daddy Blake.“

Social media users further pointed out how Apollo was dressed similarly to Blake. They both wore jeans and black suit jackets. Kingston and Zuma, dressed in sharp black suits, stood proudly beside their mother and stepfather.

The fans’ comments added a layer of warmth to the occasion. “So handsome,” many said, admiring the boys’ dapper appearances. The sentiment that Apollo looked like a “mini Blake” was echoed by several fans. Others also delighted in the familial resemblance and shared style.

From shared game day moments to supporting Zuma’s musical talent, Blake has formed a close bond with his stepsons. Their strong family connection and Blake’s role as a caring stepfather continue to endear this happy family to fans everywhere.
