We love a good celeb kid lookalike moment, and this one’s major. On August 22nd, Gwen Stefani posted a bunch of photos of her son Zuma on Instagram in honor of his 12th birthday. The resemblance between the singer and her son is uncanny—and the similarities weren’t lost on Stefani. The star called Zuma her “twin” in multiple photos, and although their hair colors are slightly different, their facial expressions are the same, to a T.
In one picture Gwen posted to her story, the mother-son duo is giving the camera some serious smize in a selfie. The squinted eyes, upturned heads, and lips are identical.
Stefani captioned the pic by simply saying, twins. happy b day zuma ❤️.
But the twinning didn’t stop there—in her larger Instagram post, Stefani made a side-by-side comparison of herself as a kid and Zuma around the same age. The small smiles, eyes, and nose shapes are truly the SAME. The singer accompanied the post with a sweet message writing, “happy birthday to my ZUMA i can’t believe u r 12 years old today!! we love u sooooooo much!! gx”
Zuma is Stefani’s middle child with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. They have two other sons, Kingston, who is 14 years old, and Apollo, who is 6. Stefani and Rossdale split in 2015 after 13 years of marriage. Now, the former No Doubt lead singer is dating her The Voice co-star Blake Shelton.
We wonder if Stefani and Blake Shelton ever had a kid, which famous parent they would take after—platinum blonde or curly brown hair? Either way, we’re predicting some serious singing pipes.
