Last year, the singer also shared more recent pictures of herself with her older sibling in the montage where she rocked her familiar platinum blonde look. Gwen is incredibly close with Eric, who was the one to persuade her to join No Doubt as a backup vocalist in the late 1980s, later taking over as the lead vocalist.
Eric wasn't the only member of Gwen's family to have celebrated his birthday during the COVID-19 lockdown. In August 2020, the star's middle son Zuma turned 12, and both his parents shared sweet tribute messages on social media about the pre-teen's special day.

He said: "You wake up and look at the news and you're starting to realise that this quarantine is not working out too well for a lot of people who are finding out they didn't, they don't like being around each other as much as they thought they did, which is terrible.
"She [Gwen] and I have experienced the opposite, you know, and we've been having a blast. And I think its because, we've literally, since our early, early twenties, both of us, kind of been, you know… our careers around.

"And obviously, none of us like these circumstances, but I'd be lying if I said that I'm not having a blast being stuck at home for this long because I've just never gotten to do it before you know, since I've owned a home, I've never been able to be there more than two weeks max at a time.
