Gwen Stefani loves gardening.
The 53-year-old pop star tied the knot with country singer Blake Shelton 47, in 2021 and now splits her time between her native California and their Ten Point Ranch in Oklahoma and has found gardening to be an “amazing” pastime where she wants “to win” all the time.
Speaking on the UK TV show Lorraine, she said: “I do it with my fingernails, dig the dirt! You know what, just Oklahoma in general — I didn’t know I needed that. I didn’t know anything about nature, really I grew up at the beach, well, not at the beach but at Disneyland in Anaheim, that’s where I grew up.
“So for me, I just didn’t have that experience to go and just be in nature and to just garden. Gardening for me is just this super amazing middle ground for me and Blake where we come together, and it’s such a…”I’m gonna win! I’m gonna make flowers, be rich, and have all these peonies!” It’s so incredible. And we’re doing it at a large level with tractors and millions of seeds, so it’s really fun.”
Meanwhile, the True Babe hitmaker — who has travelled to the UK for performances at Warwick Castle and will support fellow superstar Pink at BST Hyde Park — is mother to Kingston, 17, Zuma, 14, and nine-year-old Apollo with former husband Gavin Rossdale and even though she is a global pop singer, explained that she has always been “just mom” to them.
Asked if they think she is the “coolest mom, “ she replied, “Yeah, they do. No, I’m just joking! Absolutely not! They’re just like, ‘Oh, that’s my mom’ I think that they love me. I love them. They’re here in London, actually.
“They’re having so much fun, and they’re like ‘, Wow, we’re in London!’ It’s been so long since we’ve been here with the pandemic and everything happening. It feels like time has just fast-forwarded.”
