No Doubt‘s Gwen Stefani grew up in a Catholic household in Anaheim, Calif., going to church every Sunday and saying grace at meals, but it wasn’t until she started studying the Jewish Torah with a friend that she realized she needed religion to be a significant part of her life again.
Specifically, she told Hallow: Prayer & Meditation podcast host Jeff Cavins last week that when she began studying with her friend she was “desperate” to have another child with now-ex husband Bush singer Gavin Rossdale, with whom she already had two other sons, Kingston James McGregor Rossdale, 19 and Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, 17; the couple split in 2015 and Stefani married country singer Blake Shelton in 2021.
“I couldn’t and I was old and [I] started talking about all these things … it [the Torah] was waking me up,” she said of their deep spiritual discussions. Around that same time, first-born son Kingston told her that he really wanted his mom to have another baby. “[I told him], ‘I’m sorry. Your mom is too old to have a baby,'” she said about her response when the then 8-year-old begged her. “He was like, ‘Please God, let my mom have a baby.’ I was just sitting there going, ‘wow, look at my little boy. He’s praying for me!”
Stefani, 56, said Kingston was praying for another sibling “every night,” something she never asked him to do or taught him how to do. Lo and behold, a month later, at age 44, Stefani found out she was pregnant with Apollo, who is now 12. “Naturally, totally a full-on gift,” she said of her third son. “And that was the first miracle … I did [run to God]. I was built to do that. My parents taught me that’s what you do.”
The singer — who is gearing up to reunite with her No Doubt bandmates for a residency run of 18 May and June dates at Las Vegas’ Sphere — said Apollo’s birth was a sign to her that she was “running out of time” and that she needed to get it together and be a “real Christian” before the “narrow door” to her salvation slammed shut.
She also credited Shelton for being the first person who helped her receive “active love,” explaining that before they got together she would be come very uncomfortable when someone was sacrificing themself for her or actively trying to love her through their actions. “That was really exciting to be able to learn how to trust that act of love, right from somebody else, like receiving it,” she said.
Stefani got a bit of blowback from some longtime fans in December when she teamed up for sponsored posts promoting the Hallow prayer app, which has drawn fire for including prayers and meditations carrying anti-abortion messages.
