Stefani even gave him a shoutout from the stage while Shelton later posted a video of himself singing along in the crowd, sporting an embroidered No Doubt jacket and calling the show “un-freakin-real.”

According to a source quoted by Star, the gesture carried extra meaning.

The outlet reports that Shelton and Stefani had recently been spending significant time apart while focusing on their respective careers. Shelton was busy with his Caesars Palace residency while Stefani remained focused on her own projects.

The distance reportedly fueled fresh speculation among some friends that the couple might be facing challenges behind the scenes.

The family support was on display at the 2026 ACM Awards.

While they kept a low profile, Stefani's sons Zuma and Apollo were spotted in the audience cheering on Shelton as he performed Kenny Rogers' classic “The Gambler” during the show's tribute to legendary songwriter Don Schlitz.

The brothers didn't walk the red carpet or make a big public appearance, but eagle-eyed viewers spotted them clapping and dancing along during the broadcast.
