Gwen Stefani BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Gwen Stefani turned 56 last Friday and the occasion was marked by a flurry of tributes, warm wishes, and nostalgic media retrospectives. Blake Shelton led the chorus of love on Instagram, posting a throwback kiss and calling on fans to help celebrate his “pretty girl,” a post that quickly filled with heartfelt comments from both her audience and industry colleagues. Stefani responded in kind by resharing dozens of birthday wishes across her Instagram stories, showering friends and fans with grateful replies and heart emojis, though she did not post a dedicated birthday message on her grid. Major outlets like UPI and AS highlighted her reported net worth, now upwards of $160 million, while revisiting her rise from No Doubt frontwoman in the '90s to solo stardom, Grammy-winning artist, and multi-faceted entrepreneur with a cosmetics empire and enduring influence as a fashion icon.

Beyond her birthday, Stefani’s name hit headlines for a different kind of controversy when she praised actor Jonathan Roumie's interview with Tucker Carlson on X, formerly known as Twitter. “What an enlightening intelligent beautiful interview thank you for being u,” Stefani wrote, prompting instant backlash from some longtime fans who perceived the gesture as tacit support for Carlson, a figure widely associated with right-wing politics. The discourse spilled into various social spaces with fans expressing disappointment, while others from the Carlson and Trump support sphere praised her. Stefani’s representatives offered no comment and mainstream outlets like AOL and HuffPost contextualized the drama within her longstanding avoidance of overt political declarations, noting her Orange County roots and her Catholic faith which has shaped her recent collaborations, such as her holiday campaign for the Catholic prayer app Hallow.

Amid the swirl of personal milestones and controversy, Stefani’s professional momentum endures. Fresh off a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2023 and the release of her latest solo album, “Bouquet,” in late 2024, she continues to juggle her many roles—musician, designer, beauty mogul, television personality, and mother of three. While fans are abuzz over whether she will return to touring or ramp up appearances, recent statements suggest Gwen is keen to carve out more family time after departing The Voice, choosing moments with Blake Shelton and her children over relentless work. Social commentary on platforms like Threads occasionally theorizes about the future of iconic pop stars like Stefani, but one thing is clear: her legacy remains vibrant and her presence across entertainment and business is as magnetic as ever.
