This wasn’t the first time the couple displayed their loyalty to the Cardinals. Back in December 2015, Blake and Gwen attended a game against the Green Bay Packers, proving their true fan spirit for the Arizona team.

Their latest appearance, however, was well received online. A fan on X shared a photo with the couple and wrote, “Congrats to the @AZCardinals! Think The Sheltons @blakeshelton @gwenstefani are your lucky charm.”

Along with supporting the Cardinals in Week 10 by making a pregame appearance, the star couple’s outing highlighted the strong bond Blake shares with his stepsons. Fans frequently note how much Zuma takes after the legendary songwriter, with some believing he might be closer to his stepdad than his biological one.

On July 29, Zuma took to the stage at Shelton’s bar, Ole Red, in Tishomingo to show off his musical prowess. Zuma performed a soulful rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” leaving the public swooning over his voice and his likeness to Shelton.

Upon seeing the clip of Zuma making his country music debut, hordes of fans took to online platforms to praise his performance. Many even likened Zuma to a mini version of Blake.

“Wow!! So cool to see a little Blake. He’s so good!! You know Gwen and Blake were so proud. And the way he looked over at Blake at the end. Genuine,” gushed a fan. Another echoed“Wow Zuma, our [mini Blake] ❤️.” “Omg he sings really Good 😌 👏,” added someone else.

“It’s weird to me how much he looks like Blake,” commented a netizen. An admirer swooned“Wow! Apple doesn’t fall far from the tree! I know he has a proud momma!! Hope to see him when I come to Nashville!!”

Others even went so far as to bring Zuma’s biological dad, Gavin Rossdale, into the discussion. Some made remarks about how Gavin must be bothered by the fact that Zuma resembles Blake more than him.

They also believed the British artist might have a problem with the close bond Blake had forged with Zuma and his two other stepsons, Kingston and Apollo Rossdale.

“Not that his opinion matters, but I’m thinking how salty Gavin probably is about this. Zuma has never looked like him and now he’s more inspired by Blake than him. Lol,” penned a commenter on YouTube.

Similarly, another chimed in with“Wow little Zuma all grown up and killing it! I bet Gavin is proud and pissed. Blake has clearly taken his [step-dad] role seriously 💕.” A netizen praised“Great.. Blake loves her children.” “That’s Blake’s son now,” remarked an Instagrammer.

The performance many marveled at was not the only song the budding musician sang during the show. Footage from another video shared on YouTube shows Zuma serenading the crowd with a song titled “Revival,” which again left the audience impressed.

His stepdad proudly watched from a distance during Zuma’s first performance, cheering him on. The stepfather of Gwen’s three boys adores all of them as though they were his own.

In April 2024, Blake Shelton sat down for an interview in which he discussed the close relationship he shares with Zuma, Kingston, and Apollo. During the discussion, he was asked what his favorite part about being with them is and what the dynamics of their relationship look like.

In response, Blake divulged, “I think for me, is the discovery part of where they’re at […] Because I get to teach ’em the country […] and I love that, you know. Whether it’s music, whether it’s literally […] getting out, getting their hands in the dirt, or […] being out on the ranch.”

The “Austin” artist then reiterated how much he adores getting to be the person who introduces the boys to that kind of lifestyle and expressed his love for them. Joining Blake in raising Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo is, of course, their doting mom, Gwen Stefani.

Blake has made it known, on several occasions, how much he is in awe of his beloved wife and how much he adores her. One such instance saw him sing Gwen’s praises at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony on October 19, 2023. At the event, he commended her as a phenomenal mom and entertainer.

Observant social media users noted that the “Hollaback Girl” singer’s middle son, Zuma, looked “completely” like Blake. They added that the pair even shared the same dimples. Fans noticed the resemblance in Apollo too, with one fan commenting“Her youngest is like daddy Blake.

Social media users further pointed out how Apollo was dressed similarly to Blake. They both wore jeans and black suit jackets. Kingston and Zuma, dressed in sharp black suits, stood proudly beside their mother and stepfather.

The fans’ comments added a layer of warmth to the occasion. “So handsome,” many said, admiring the boys’ dapper appearances. The sentiment that Apollo looked like a “mini Blake” was echoed by several fans. Others also delighted in the familial resemblance and shared style.

From shared game day moments to supporting Zuma’s musical talent, Blake has formed a close bond with his stepsons. Their strong family connection and Blake’s role as a caring stepfather continue to endear this happy family to fans everywhere.
