At the time, Stefani couldn\u2019t have another baby but the conversation about the man\u2019s conversion to Judaism sparked Stefani\u2019s own awakening.<\/p>\n
Then her oldest son, Kingston, started asking for a sibling. Stefani told her son she was too old, and that was when he started to pray.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe was like \u2018Please God, let my mom have a baby\u2019,\u201d said Stefani. \u201cAnd he was doing it every night.\u201d<\/p>\n
Then four weeks later Stefani was pregnant. <\/p>\n
\u201cI had him at 44 years old, naturally,\u201d she said, calling it a \u201cfull-on gift. And that was the first miracle.\u201d<\/p>\n
Since then Stefani has done more to learn about Christianity.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s almost scary because the more you know, the more fear you get,\u201d she said. \u201cYou realise, \u2018Oh my gosh, I\u2019m running out of time and I need to get this together. I\u2019ve got to be a real Christian! I\u2019m not gonna make it.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Stefani shares three sons with English musician Gavin Rossdale, Kingston, 19, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 12. The pair were married from 2002 to 2015.<\/p>\n
They split in 2015 and she married her co-star from The Voice, Blake Shelton, in 2021.<\/p>\n
Stefani rose to fame in 1995 as the frontwoman for No Doubt with their breakout album, Tragic Kingdom, with cultural touchstones like Don\u2019t Speak and Just a Girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"At the time, Stefani couldn\u2019t have another baby but the conversation about the man\u2019s conversion to Judaism sparked…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":322228,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[38116,1975,174110,6794,34088,17890,156,134229,174108,1360,3958,33321,111,139,7805,69,82649,312,4625,8214,137094,174109,11548,1316],"class_list":{"0":"post-322227","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-38116","9":"tag-at","10":"tag-awakening","11":"tag-baby","12":"tag-delivered","13":"tag-doubt","14":"tag-entertainment","15":"tag-epiphany","16":"tag-gwen","17":"tag-having","18":"tag-judge","19":"tag-miracle","20":"tag-new-zealand","21":"tag-newzealand","22":"tag-no","23":"tag-nz","24":"tag-religious","25":"tag-says","26":"tag-singer","27":"tag-sparked","28":"tag-spiritual","29":"tag-stefani","30":"tag-voice","31":"tag-when"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322227","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=322227"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/322227\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/322228"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=322227"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=322227"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=322227"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
