Gwen Stefani Explains 'No Doubt' To Her 10-Year-Old Son, Apollo
Gwen Stefani recently shared a heartwarming moment with her 10-year-old son Apollo as he inquired about her upcoming music performance at Coachella. Gwen, aged 54 and a mother of three boys, including Kingston, 17, and Zuma, 15, with her former husband Gavin Rossdale, reminisced about the experience.
She revealed how she had to sit down with Apollo, who was curious about the buzz surrounding Coachella, and explain it to him. To do this, they watched the "Don't Speak" music video together, and Apollo, in his innocence, asked which band member had been her boyfriend.
The situation was both strange and amusing as Gwen recounted the details. She's gearing up for a No Doubt reunion at Coachella in April, marking over a decade since the band's last hiatus.
The anticipation had been building, with the band dropping hints during a video chat, which eventually led to their official announcement. This is a significant moment for Gwen, who co-founded No Doubt back in 1986, and it brings back fond memories of the band's history, including her early collaborations with her brother Eric Stefani and the late John Spence, who tragically passed away in 1987.
Gwen also mentioned her past relationship with band member Tony Kanal, who is now 53, and her excitement about performing alongside other members Adrian Young and Tom Dumont, aged 54 and 56, respectively.
