The singer’s three sons – Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, six – ‘will have a large part’ in her nuptials, a source has told People.

Gwen shares her three children with her ex-husband Gavin Rossdale, and Blake has always been mindful about his place in the family.

‘From the beginning, Gwen made it clear to Blake that her boys were No. 1 in her life, and Blake always respected this,’ sources told the site.

‘He never wanted to overstep and made sure everyone was comfortable with his role in her sons’ lives,’ the insider said. 

Both Gwen and Blake were getting through divorces at the time they first met each other on The Voice five years ago.

While it was their mutual heartbreak that initially brought them together, the friendship soon developed into something romantic.

‘At first they were bonding over their splits and finding light in one another, but they quickly realized they have so much more in common than just going through heartbreak,’ the source said.

‘They’re both incredibly close to their families and their lives are rooted deeply in their faith. He just fit so seamlessly into her life, and vice versa.’
