Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and Gavin Rossdale put their complicated family history aside for a special occasion. They gathered in Los Angeles to support Kingston Rossdale as he celebrated another milestone in his budding music career.
The 20-year-old musician performed at the Troubadour on 10 November, marking his Los Angeles live debut. He brought his famous parents and stepfather to the same venue. Stefani arrived hand-in-hand with her husband, country music star Shelton, while Rossdale was also spotted watching his eldest son perform.
The rare family gathering attracted attention because Stefani and Rossdale have largely maintained separate public lives since their 2015 separation and divorce, which was finalised in 2016 after nearly 13 years of marriage.
Although the former couple were not photographed interacting during the event, their presence demonstrated a shared interest in supporting Kingston's growing ambitions as a musician.
Kingston Rossdale and His Music Career
Kingston is following in the musical footsteps of both his parents, with his latest performance marking another step towards establishing his own identity as an artist.
The aspiring musician released his debut single, 'Right Side of the Moon,' in September 2026 before unveiling his first extended play, Louise Street, on 6 November.
The project explores themes of young love, growing up, making mistakes and navigating the uncertainty of becoming an adult. Its title track is described as a nostalgic reflection on the street where Kingston first met his girlfriend and the memories associated with their relationship.

His performance at the Troubadour was his second live show, following an appearance at the House of Blues in San Diego on 8 November.
Kingston's musical influences are hardly surprising given his family background. His father is Gavin Rossdale, frontman of the British rock band Bush, while his mother rose to international fame as the lead singer of No Doubt before establishing a successful solo career.
However, Kingston appears interested in developing his own musical identity rather than simply following either parent's established sound.
Stefani and Shelton Show Support for Kingston
Stefani attended the Los Angeles performance alongside Shelton, whom she married in July 2021.
The No Doubt frontwoman made a statement with her concert outfit, wearing a pink-and-white striped blazer over a white tank top and distressed jeans. She completed the look with bright pink lipstick, long blonde hair styled in a side-parted blowout and slouchy white pointed-toe boots.
Shelton opted for a more casual ensemble, wearing a workwear-inspired button-down shirt, jeans, a baseball cap and boots. The couple were photographed holding hands as they arrived at the venue, presenting a united front as they cheered on Kingston.
Shelton has played a role in encouraging his stepson's musical interests. In August 2023, he introduced Kingston during a surprise performance at his Ole Red bar in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, describing the teenager as an artist and saying he was honoured to introduce him to the stage for his first public performance.
That early appearance offered a glimpse of Shelton's involvement in Kingston's musical journey, which has since progressed towards original releases and independent live performances.
Rossdale Also Turns Up for His Son's Big Night
Rossdale was also present at the Troubadour, watching Kingston's performance from the balcony. The Bush frontman reportedly spoke with photographers outside the venue and discussed the possibility of collaborating musically with his son.
His appearance comes after he offered insight into his co-parenting arrangement with Stefani during a March 2026 interview with Fox News Digital.
Rossdale described their relationship as an unusual arrangement, comparing it to a two-lane highway that does not necessarily merge. He expressed support for their approach, saying both parents were doing their best as their children continued growing up.
The former couple also share two younger sons, Zuma, 18, and Apollo, 12.
Despite their separation, both have continued to make appearances at important milestones in their children's lives. Stefani and Rossdale's latest appearance at Kingston's concert offers another example of how their family responsibilities continue beyond their former marriage.
With his debut single and first EP now released, the young musician is beginning to establish a career of his own, with both parents watching as he takes his next steps.
