Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale Share Sweet Tributes to Their Son Zuma as He Turns 12

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale celebrated their second son, Zuma, on his 12th birthday. Stefani's post of the youngster revealed an astonishing fact about the tween, who broke both his arms this summer.

American singer Gwen Stefani and her ex, Gavin Rossdale, were in a celebratory mood over the weekend as they marked a milestone for their middle son, Zuma Nesta Rock.

Rossdale took to Instagram to profess his love for the greatest guy he knows, by sharing a slideshow of photos of the 12-year-old and himself.

The English singer expressed that his life has been more fulfilling, thanks to Zuma, and urged fans to try to make a better world for their children.

Gwen Stefani, Zuma's mother, was also filled with excitement and shared an adorable series of photos of the boy with her 10.3 million Instagram followers. She captioned the post:

"happy birthday to my ZUMA i can't believe u r 12 years old today!! we love u sooooooo much!! gx"

Fans of both Rossdale and Stefani showered the duo's cheerful son with birthday wishes. However, most of the comments on Stefani's post revolved around the tween's startling resemblance to his mother.

Stefani herself had highlighted the similarity by adding, in her slideshow, a picture of Zuma side-by-side with a throwback picture of herself from when she was a child.

Rossdale once admitted that when Zuma broke both arms in the space of a few weeks earlier in the summer, he was actually a little relieved.

Fans were understandably astonished by the duo's semblance and immediately took to referring to Zuma as the multi-Grammy-winner's twin.

Although Zuma mostly takes after his mum in looks, Rossdale hasn't come up short either. Just one glance at Zuma and Rossdale immediately makes it evident that the young celebrity inherited his father's charming smile.

Besides his cute looks, Rossdale is also very proud of his son's character and personality. He revealed that Zuma's bravery stands out among his three sons — the former couple also shares Kingston Rossdale, 14, and Apollo Bowie Flynn, 6.

The father-of-four — he also has an older daughter, Daisy Lowe, from a previous relationship — stated that had the incidents happened to any of Zuma's brothers, he would have been a lot more worried because the 12-year-old was the toughest of the three.

Nonetheless, Rossdale enjoys a healthy co-parenting relationship with Gwen Stefani, whom he split from in 2015. However, the London native admits that the COVID-19 pandemic has made seeing his children more challenging.
