How Gwen Stefani's Wedding Dresses Honored Blake Shelton and Her 3 Kids

How Gwen Stefani's Wedding Dresses Honored Blake Shelton and Her 3 Kids

  • Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton tied the knot in Oklahoma on July 3, and the bride gave a subtle nod to her new husband and her three sons with her custom Vera Wang wedding dresses.
  • Did you catch these cool details in Gwen Stefani‘s wedding dresses?

    The No Doubt star wed Blake Shelton at the country singer’s ranch in Oklahoma on July 3 and celebrated their big day with not one but two gorgeous gowns. For the ceremony, which was officiated by their fellow star on The Voice Carson Daly, Stefani donned a custom Vera Wang Haute dress. 

    “She chose a custom lily white silk georgette and hand tumbled tulle high low gown,” Vera Wang shared on Instagram, “with a plunging neckline and a cut away back.”

    The three-time Grammy winner swept her hair back into a chic and simple updo and donned a lily white chapel veil that included a special tribute to Shelton and her sons Kingston, 15, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 7. The names of the groom, the bride and her children were hand embroidered into the veil and were flanked by two white roses at the hem.

    After Stefani and Shelton said “I do,” she changed into her second Vera Wang dress, which also featured a nod to her kids and new husband.

    “For the reception she chose a custom lily white Italian silk crepe and hand tumbled tulle strapless mini dress with hand pieced silk, crystal and sequin embroidered foliage delicately trickling from the waist down the skirt,” the designer wrote in a separate post. “The embroidery is highlighted by a pair of hand sewn love birds symbolizing the couple. They are joined by 3 baby love birds representing Gwen’s children.” 

    Stefani accessorized her look with white Le Silla boots and a veil featuring a bow and floral design. As she put it, “You need a party dress when u get to marry @blakeshelton.”

    Stefani shares her three kids with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. In a February interview with KFROG’s The Ride With Kimo & Heather, Shelton spoke about his bond with her sons and his role as a stepdad.

    “I take it very, very serious, you know?” he said. “But I also have a blast with it. I’m not gonna lie. I don’t take it so serious that I’m not enjoying this time because I really am. Especially, you know, now that we’re five years into this thing, I can’t imagine my life without these kids now.”

    How Kim Kardashian Honored Kanye West on First Father's Day Since Divorce Filing

    How Kim Kardashian Honored Kanye West on First Father's Day Since Divorce Filing

  • Kim Kardashian has shared a Father's Day 2021 post, part of which honors Kanye West, her soon-to-be ex-husband. See her tribute.
  • Kim Kardashian is celebrating her first Father’s Day since she filed for divorce from Kanye West.

    For the holiday on Sunday, June 20, the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star shared on her Instagram page a collection of throwback photos of the dads in her life, starting with an image of herself and sister Kourtney Kardashian kissing their late father, Robert Kardashian, followed by a pic of her soon-to-be ex-husband with their four children—North West, 8, Saint West, 5, Chicago West, 3, and Psalm West, 2.

    “Happy Father’s Day to all the amazing dads in our lives!” Kim wrote. “Love you unconditionally!!!”

    Kim then included in her Father’s Day tribute more pics, in this order: Her mom Kris Jenner‘s ex Caitlyn Jenner with her family; brother Rob Kardashian with his daughter Dream Kardashian, 4; Kourtney’s ex Scott Disick with their kids Mason Disick, 11, Penelope Disick, 8, and Reign Disick, 6; Khloe Kardashian‘s boyfriend Tristan Thompson with their daughter True Thompson, 3; and Travis Scott with his and Kylie Jenner‘s daughter Stormi Webster, 3.

    Kim, 40, first shared the pic of Kanye with the kids on Instagram last September, writing at the time, “How did I get so lucky?!?!?!” But just months later, the reality star filed for divorce from the rapper this past February after six years of marriage and after living apart for some time.

    Since the filing, Kim also paid tribute to her ex on Instagram earlier this month, for his 44th birthday. Again, she shared a pic of him with their kids.

    “Happy Birthday,” she wrote in the caption. “Love U for Life!”

    On past Father’s Day holidays, Kim typically honored Kanye and her late father in separate Instagram posts.

    Kanye has appeared to move on since his split from Kim. In recent weeks, he has been sparking romance rumors with Irina Shayk, Bradley Cooper‘s ex. Earlier this month, just after he celebrated his 44th birthday, Kanye and the model were photographed together on a trip to France. Days later, the rapper appeared to have unfollowed Kim and her family on Twitter.

    Meanwhile, a source recently told E! News that “Kim has heard the rumors about Kanye and Irina Shayk and she doesn’t mind at all.” The insider added, “If it doesn’t impact her kids, then she doesn’t mind if Kanye dates.”

    How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Honored Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth With Their Baby Girl's Name

    How Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Honored Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth With Their Baby Girl's Name

  • Find out the sweet meaning behind the name Meghan Markle and Prince Harry gave their baby girl, who was born on Friday, June 4.

    It’s officially a party of four!

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry welcomed their baby girl, a spokesperson for the couple shared on Sunday, June 6. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are already proud parents to Archie Harrison, who turned 2 years old in May.

    “It is with great joy that Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, welcome their daughter, Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor, to the world,” a statement read. “Lili was born on Friday, June 4 at 11:40 a.m. in the trusted care of the doctors and staff at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in Santa Barbara, CA. She weighed 7 lbs 11 oz.”

    What’s more? The unique name Prince Harry and Meghan Markle chose for their little one is riddled with meaning. According to the pair’s rep, their newborn daughter’s moniker is an homage to both Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Harry’s late mother, Princess Diana.

    “Lili is named after her great-grandmother, Her Majesty The Queen, whose family nickname is Lilibet,” the statement explained. “Her middle name, Diana, was chosen to honor her beloved late grandmother, The Princess of Wales.”

    According to Parents.com, the name Lilibet means “blend of Lily: (the flower: innocence: purity: beauty) and Elizabeth: (My God is bountiful: God of plenty.)”

    Prince Harry and Meghan aren’t the only ones to honor both the queen and the late Princess Diana. Prince William and Kate Middleton also gave their daughter a special moniker: Princess Charlotte Elizabeth Diana.

    And, as royal fans might recall, Prince Harry and Meghan gave their son a truly unique name. At the time, historian Marlene Koenig told E! News, “This is a most unusual choice [of name], but I am not surprised because I have said that they would go out of the box. There are no Archies or Archibald’s in the family.”

    She added, “I have said a few times that the parents of non-royals seem to have more leeway, more freedom.”

    However, Princess Diana’s ancestor was named Archibald Campbell, 9th Earl of Argyll of Scotland.

    But names aside, the pair seems to be over the moon in love with their baby girl.

    On their Archewell Foundation page, they gushed over their bundle of joy, sharing, “On June 4, we were blessed with the arrival of our daughter, Lili. She is more than we could have ever imagined, and we remain grateful for the love and prayers we’ve felt from across the globe. Thank you for your continued kindness and support during this very special time for our family.”
