Gwen Stefani is facing a joyful reunion with her husband, Blake Shelton, but it'll be bittersweet for more than one reason.
The star has been in the UK touring and performing with Pink but is now headed back to America where her country music hubby will welcome her with open arms.
However, it's unlikely that her sons, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 14, and Apollo, nine, will be with her as they're currently spending the summer with their dad, Gavin Rossdale, in England.
Not only that, but Gwen confessed she's not quite ready to wave goodbye to her sunny stint in the UK and took to Instagram to share her sadness at bidding farewell.
"Missing the UK already," wrote alongside a selection of photos from her time across the pond.

"This is my lot and they make my heart sing and feel like I got something right plus the excellent @jordanjaysaul and of course our newest addition -princess ivy chilling and undercover.
"And the sweetest boy Apollo - who is not on social media so he gets his own shout out for being the greatest kid I know. I love these kids more than life itself."

She appeared on the British morning talk show, Lorraine, to promote her new single, 'True Babe', and spoke about her sons' latest adventure and also shared their reactions to having a famous mom.

"Absolutely not. They're just like, 'That's my mom,' and they love me and I love them," she said, before revealing that she accompanied them on a visit to Primrose Hill.
"They are here actually, right now," said Gwen, who was married to Gavin from 2002 until 2016. "I saw them over in Primrose Hill in the park and they're having so much fun and they're like, 'Wow, we're in London!'
"It's been so long since we've all been here, with the pandemic and everything going on. It feels like time just fast-forwarded."
