Blake Shelton has a great relationship with Gwen Stefani’s children, but the same can’t be said of his relationship with Gavin Rossdale — and the kids might be the reason why. E! News reported on Rossdale’s bad blood with Shelton back in 2016, when an insider told the outlet that it was painful for the Brit to see his kids Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo spend time with Shelton. “Gavin doesn’t agree with [Gwen] having a relationship with Blake, and he doesn’t like her bringing the kids around him,” they said. This was corroborated by a separate source, who told OK! in 2021 that “He’s gotten ticked off at Blake in the past for seemingly overstepping his bounds, and is ready to make it clear he has the final authority with his boys.”

In 2022, Rossdale and Shelton continued to butt heads over parenting. “Gavin is trying very hard to parent alongside Gwen, but he wants to make it perfectly clear he is the father of their sons, not Blake,” an insider shared with Globe (via International Business Times). Tensions may also have arisen over a 2022 interview that Shelton gave to People, in which he discussed his role as a stepfather to Rossdale and Stefani’s boys. “I didn’t know what I was signing up for, but I was all about signing up for it,” Shelton said on fatherhood. “And every day I’ve fallen in love with the boys as much as I do with Gwen.”
