“Is That the Nanny?”: Blake Shelton Shares Hilarious FaceTime Mix-Up Between His Stepson and Country Icon Vince Gill

In a tale that perfectly blends modern technology, country music royalty, and blended family chaos, Blake Shelton recently shared a laugh-out-loud story involving his stepson Zuma and country legend Vince Gill. What started as a simple FaceTime call ended in confusion, embarrassment, and, ultimately, a new fandom born from one of the funniest celebrity tech mishaps of 2024.

The now-viral story unfolded when Zuma, Shelton’s 16-year-old stepson with wife Gwen Stefani, attempted to FaceTime his nanny—also named Vince. But instead of calling the caregiver, Zuma inadvertently rang the Vince Gill, who was in Amsterdam at the time, on tour with The Eagles. The unexpected call connected while Gill was overseas, adding a cross-continental twist to the already surreal moment.

Shelton recounted the incident during a CMT interview shared on TikTok. “Zuma grabbed my phone, thinking he was calling his nanny,” he explained. “Next thing you know, Vince Gill answers the FaceTime from Amsterdam. I hear laughing, and I walk in to see Zuma literally throw my phone across the room yelling, ‘Some man answered Vince’s phone!’” The moment of innocent “stranger danger,” as Shelton jokingly put it, turned into a hilarious story the whole family now laughs about.

The incident, while initially “humiliating,” as Shelton described it in interviews with People, quickly turned lighthearted—thanks to Gill’s own reaction. Far from annoyed, Gill reportedly quipped, “I thought you must’ve been drunk or something,” when Shelton called to apologize. The warm response highlighted the friendly bond between the two country stars and Gill’s easygoing personality.

As the stepfather to Stefani’s three sons—Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo—Shelton has embraced life in a blended family, filled with both heartfelt moments and humorous chaos. And this FaceTime fumble is now part of family lore. “A couple of years later,” Shelton shared, “Zuma became the biggest Vince Gill fan in the world. Now he’s always asking, ‘Can we call him again?’”

While initially a comical case of mistaken identity, the story also shines a spotlight on Vince Gill’s ongoing legacy. Touring with The Eagles since Glenn Frey’s passing, Gill’s place in modern country and rock history only adds to the surreal quality of the moment: a teenager, unaware of the music legend on his screen, unknowingly made a lifelong fan connection.

In the age of shared contact lists and smartphones in every hand, Shelton’s story resonates beyond celebrity circles. It’s a reminder that even in star-studded households, family life is filled with the same kind of endearing mix-ups we all face—and sometimes, those mishaps become memories that last a lifetime.
