Gwen Stefani Links 'Spiritual Awakening' to Pregnancy at 44 in Hallow Interview

Her Hallow interview renewed scrutiny of the app’s pay‑to‑pray model plus anti‑abortion messaging.

Overview

  • Stefani recounts that conversations with a colleague who had a religious epiphany while studying the Torah prompted a personal spiritual shift.
  • She says her eldest son, Kingston, prayed nightly for a sibling and that she became pregnant with Apollo about four weeks later, calling it her first miracle.
  • The singer describes herself as a "baby Christian" and connects Apollo’s 2014 birth to her return to practicing faith.
  • Her ongoing partnership with the Catholic prayer app Hallow has drawn criticism over its subscription paywall and anti-abortion content, with some public figures publicly objecting.
  • Coverage notes her family background with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, their church annulment reported in 2021, and her 2021 marriage to Blake Shelton.
