Happy birthday, Kingston Rossdale! The oldest of exes Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's three sons has officially become an adult, turning 18 on Sunday, May 26.

The Bush frontman, 58, and the No Doubt frontwoman, 54, each took to social media to share the sweetest of tributes to their firstborn. Gwen and Gavin were married from 2002-2016. Gavin is currently with girlfriend Xhoana X, while Gwen has been married to Blake Shelton since 2021.

His father was the first to take to Instagram with a sweet compilation of photos and family memories, showing just how his son had grown into a strapping young man.

While Kingston hasn't revealed his plans for the coming year when it comes to college or future moves, he has been more intentional about pursuing a career in music. And on his own social media, he bemoaned the fact that Lola, his girlfriend of over seven years, will soon leave California behind for college as well and they'd go long-distance.

"Will be missed so bad when you're at college, you're my best friend and everything I've ever dreamed of in a partner. I'll never do life without you, my other half, my whole wide world," he gushed.
