Gwen Stefani, who is now 56, talked about how a deep spiritual awakening led to her having her third son, Apollo, at age 44 in an interview with Hallow: Prayer & Meditation. She said she felt hopeless and “old,” sure that her chance to have another baby had passed. But talking about the Torah with a coworker changed everything for her. She got pregnant naturally just four weeks later, calling it a “full-on gift” and her “first miracle.”

Stefani told the story of her coworker, a former atheist Jew who became a Jew after studying the Torah. He told her about his epiphany while she was wishing for another child. This divine timing made her Catholic faith stronger and changed her life, pushing her to do more spiritual things. The No Doubt singer and The Voice judge has always been honest about how her personal highs and lows affect her music and family life.

Apollo was born in 2014 to Stefani and her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale. He joined her brothers Kingston and Zuma, and she now looks back on that time with amazement. Stefani stressed how miraculous the pregnancy was, especially at 44, as a clear sign of something bigger going on. Her story still inspires fans who like to mix celebrity news with themes of faith and motherhood.
