Gwen Stefani<\/a> publicly wished her son Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale a happy 17th birthday on Thursday by sharing snaps of his recent transformation into a mini-me of her second husband Blake Shelton<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The nepo baby<\/a> is now an aspiring country singer rocking western wear, and he’s got a mullet just like his 49-year-old stepfather sported in the early aughts.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In fact, Blake had the ‘business in the front, party in the back’ hockey hair as far back as middle school <\/a>in the eighties.<\/p>\n

The 55-year-old proud mom shared clips of Zuma performing a cover of Zach Bryan<\/a>‘s 2024 song Dawns while playing the acoustic guitar at their home.<\/p>\n

Gwen – who boasts 37.5M social media followers – captioned her Instagram <\/a>slideshow: ‘Happy birthday to our sweet and talented Zuma! We love [you] soooo much!’<\/p>\n

Stefani also posted a video of Shelton proudly introducing his stepson onstage the Doghouse at his bar Ole Red in Tishomingo, OK.<\/p>\n

Gwen Stefani publicly wished her son Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale (R) a happy 17th birthday on Thursday by sharing snaps of his recent transformation into a mini-me of her second husband Blake Shelton (L)<\/p>\n

Zuma made his musical debut <\/a>at the same venue in July 2024 where he performed yet another Zach Bryan song – his 2022 track Oklahoma Smokeshow.<\/p>\n

‘I get to teach them the country, you know, and I love that,’ the eight-time Grammy nominee gushed to ET <\/a>last year.<\/p>\n

‘When people say it’s not about you anymore when you have a kid… I think if you’re doing it right, it’s not about you anymore. That’s true.’<\/p>\n

Blake – who was taught guitar by his uncle at age 12 – continued: ‘We still have Apollo, so we have another almost 10 years before we can kick him out, so it should be a lot of fun.’<\/p>\n

Gwen’s touching tribute received glowing comments from Instagram users like @lillitu, who wrote: ‘Aww he picked up Blake’s mannerisms when he sings, so cute. Love that Blake has had such a positive impact on your kids.’<\/p>\n

‘He’s got the old school Blake mullet started,’ Instagram user back_to_black_75 commented.<\/p>\n

Instagram user @brittanygilbert37 agreed: ‘I see that Blake influence.’<\/p>\n

‘Oklahoma looks good on him!’ exclaimed Instagram user @mrs.b.ah.vah.<\/p>\n

Instagram user dally_drummer: ‘ Awww! We can see Blake musical influence on him. This kid is talented.’<\/p>\n

Last September, Zuma looked very different when his famous father – Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale – dressed him up in pieces from his goth-grunge clothing company Sea of Sound for an onstage performance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Stefani and the 59-year-old British grandfather also welcomed 19-year-old son Kingston and 11-year-old son Apollo during their 13-year marriage, which ended in August 2015 amid nanny-cheating allegations<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Two months later, the three-time Grammy winner began dating Shelton on the set of The Voice since he had legally separated from his ex-wife #2 Miranda Lambert three months earlier.<\/p>\n

Before his four-year marriage to Lambert, the Stay Country or Die Tryin’ singer was married to Kaynette Gern for a little over two years until their 2006 divorce.<\/p>\n

July 3 marked Gwen and Blake’s fourth wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, Shelton announced he’s kicking off his eight-date Las Vegas residency at Caesars Palace’s the Colosseum on January 15.<\/p>\n

But first, the 6ft5in star – who gets 10.7M monthly listeners on Spotify – is next scheduled to perform August 28 at Jacks Bash 3 in Brookings, SD.<\/p>\n
