Gwen Stefani shades ex Gavin Rossdale & praises only 'loving' fiance Blake Shelton for helping raise her three sons

GWEN Stefani ignored her ex Gavin Rossdale on Father's Day as she praised her fiancée Blake for helping raise her three kids.

The pop star also threw her future husband a surprise birthday party over the weekend as he celebrated turning 45.

Gwen, 51, took to Instagram on Sunday's holiday to gush about her "loving" fiancée Blake, though she made no mention of the father of her children.

The singer and her rockstar ex were married from 2002- 2016 and share three sons, Kingston, 15, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, seven.

The Voice star shared a series of photos with Blake as he has helped raise her three sons over the past six years.

In a sweet selfie the country singer posed with his blonde beauty and her youngest, Apollo, and dressed in all camo with the boys in another shot.

In several images the boys all played around with their future step-father, and took to the stage during rehearsal break time.

Gwen captioned her Father's Day post: "Happy father's day to the most generous patient loving funny guy i know – we love u so much @blakeshelton gx."

The mother of three celebrated her soon-to-be hubby all weekend long, as Blake turned 45 on Friday.

The No Doubt singer threw her man a fun surprise bash complete with dancing, singing, and a personalized cake with the country star's face on top.

Gwen shared a video of a crowd of Blake's family and friends hiding in the backyard, and when he arrived to the party everyone yelled "SURPRISE!"

A large sign reading "HBD 45 Blake" served as the backdrop and the God's Country singer was shocked and overjoyed to see his close ones gathered.

Later the group joined together to sing "happy birthday" to the TV personality who donned a star hat for the rest of the evening.

Gwen also showed off her fiancée's birthday cake, which had a huge photo of the singer plastered to the top.

Alongside a photo of the couple kissing on Instagram, the Rich Girl singer wrote: "celebrating my besties b day today love u."

Fans recently speculated that the duo had secretly tied the knot when they were spotted enjoying a day out in Santa Monica.

Gwen appeared to have a diamond wedding band next to her huge engagement ring, sparking marriage rumors.

Prior to the outing, the musician gave her followers a glimpse into her bridal shower, posing with a glass of wine and an unopened gift.

She exclaimed: "I'm getting married!" while at a dinner party with loved ones to prepare for the special day.

Gwen and Blake met on The Voice in 2014, and their relationship turned romantic in 2015.

The country singer proposed last year in Oklahoma, where the two spent the majority of the pandemic quarantining together.

According to People, the love birds were "adamant that no wedding will happen until it's safe for family and friends to attend."
