This wasn’t the first time the couple displayed their loyalty to the Cardinals. Back in December 2015, Blake and Gwen attended a game against the Green Bay Packers, proving their true fan spirit for the Arizona team.
Their latest appearance, however, was well received online. A fan on X shared a photo with the couple and wrote, “Congrats to the @AZCardinals! Think The Sheltons @blakeshelton @gwenstefani are your lucky charm.”
Along with supporting the Cardinals in Week 10 by making a pregame appearance, the star couple’s outing highlighted the strong bond Blake shares with his stepsons. Fans frequently note how much Zuma takes after the legendary songwriter, with some believing he might be closer to his stepdad than his biological one.
On July 29, Zuma took to the stage at Shelton’s bar, Ole Red, in Tishomingo to show off his musical prowess. Zuma performed a soulful rendition of Zach Bryan’s “Oklahoma Smokeshow,” leaving the public swooning over his voice and his likeness to Shelton.
