Blake Shelton and his stepson made a hilarious mistake involving country singer Vince Gill.
In a video posted to CMT’s official TikTok page, Shelton recalled the time Zuma, the 16-year-old son of his wife Gwen Stefani, accidentally called Gill via FaceTime.
“He thought he was calling his nanny Vince and he called Vince Gill,” Shelton explains in the video.
“I was walking past the house and heard Vince Gill’s voice like he was laughing. I looked and saw Zuma throw the phone down,” the singer recalled.
Shelton — who has long advertised that he is the proud stepfather of Stefani’s three sons, including 18-year-old Kingston and 10-year-old Apollo — continued, “He said, ‘I don’t know. Someone answered Vince’s phone.” And I looked, and he called Vince Gill, who was in Amsterdam – He FaceTimed him while he was in Amsterdam with The Eagles!”
Shelton and Gill spoke again after the incident and Gill shared why he picked up the phone in the first place.
“Man, I’m laughing,” Gill said. “I thought you must be drunk or something.”
Shelton said Zuma has now become “the biggest Vince Gill fan in the world” and asked him to call the singer back.
“He said, ‘Can we FaceTime him again?!’”
But Shelton noted that that “will never really happen again.”
“That’s so humiliating for me!” he added.

In an interview with Guardian“I had never listened to country music, so even though Blake was incredibly successful, I never even knew he existed before meeting him,” Stefani confessed.
Stefani was also hesitant about their relationship and almost called it quits, but Shelton persisted. Stefani isn’t eager to date because they’re both in the middle of high-profile divorces – she with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and he with fellow superstar Miranda Lambert.
“We just met and it was chaos,” Stefani said. Everybody. “Our lives were in complete chaos, everywhere. Nothing could save us at that time. There were times when I thought, ‘I can’t even talk to you. This is crazy. I There are enough problems already. This won’t happen again. We won’t text or anything.'”
However, Shelton had already begun writing the song “Go Ahead and Break My Heart”, a duet they would release in 2016.
“I think he really wanted to impress me, because he doesn’t really write music as much as he used to. And I love writing music. To me that’s everything. If I want to feel like I have anything any purpose or whatsoever.” of some value or whatever, it’s writing a song. That’s where I feel fulfilled,” she said.
The couple wrote songs together and got married in 2021.
