Blake Shelton Recalls Hilarious FaceTime Mix-Up Between Stepson Zuma and Vince Gill

Country music star Blake Shelton recently shared a laugh-out-loud parenting story involving his stepson Zuma and country legend Vince Gill—an incident Shelton calls “humiliating” but fans are finding absolutely hilarious.

The mishap happened when 16-year-old Zuma, one of Gwen Stefani’s three sons, tried to FaceTime his nanny, also named Vince, but accidentally dialed the Country Music Hall of Famer instead. Shelton recounted the mix-up during a CMT interview and on TikTok, describing how the teen’s simple mistake led to an unforgettable moment.

“He thought he was calling his nanny Vince, and he called Vince Gill,” Shelton explained. At the time, Gill was performing in Amsterdam with The Eagles. Shelton recalled hearing Gill’s unmistakable voice laughing as Zuma, startled by the unexpected face on the screen, dropped the phone and exclaimed, “I don’t know, there was some man that answered Vince’s phone.”

Shelton quickly texted Gill to explain, and the 22-time Grammy winner reportedly found the situation hilarious. “Man, I was laughing. I thought you must have been drunk or something,” Gill told Shelton. For Shelton, however, the encounter was mortifying. “That was humiliating for me! Never again,” he said, promising Zuma won’t FaceTime the country icon anytime soon.

Despite the initial shock, Zuma has emerged from the incident as “the biggest Vince Gill fan in the world,” according to Shelton. The teen even made his country music debut at Shelton’s Ole Red venue in Oklahoma on July 29, 2024, hinting that he may follow in his stepdad’s musical footsteps. Shelton jokes that, despite Zuma’s enthusiasm, the accidental calls are permanently off-limits.

Shelton, who married Stefani in 2021, has often spoken about the joys and challenges of stepfatherhood. In a 2022 interview with People, he shared, “This isn’t about me anymore and never will be again. The kids see me as a very important person in their life.” The FaceTime fiasco underscores the unpredictable—and often hilarious—moments of parenting teenagers, even for a country superstar.

As for Vince Gill, the incident adds another chapter to a storied career spanning more than four decades, over 20 studio albums, and 26 million records sold. It also highlights his good humor, proving that even country royalty can appreciate a little chaos—and an accidental FaceTime call—from the next generation of fans.

This unforgettable mix-up serves as a reminder that parenting, even in a celebrity household, is full of surprises—and sometimes, they involve country legends answering the phone by accident.
