Stefani then recalled the night the 17-year-old recently debuted his vocal skills to the public while performing at his stepdad Blake Shelton's bar in August 2023.

"It was really exciting and it's weird, 'cause even last night he was playing for us and I was like, 'Wow.' It's mind-blowing," she said.

"You don't know what your kids are going to do and then all of a sudden they find themselves, and you're like 'Wow.'"

In November, Shelton spoke with TODAY about his new restaurant's opening in Las Vegas and commented on how he chooses to parent his wife's three sons.

"I've had step-parents," Shelton said. "I think it's, in some ways, harder, more difficult."

He continued, "I try to be careful about when to step back and be smart about when to step back and just talk, but no matter what, I'm always there if I'm needed."
