Gwen Stefani, 39, was seen out a park in LA yesterday with a helper, her son Kingston, nearly two and a half, and her newborn son Zuma, two months. Stefani held an adorable sleeping Zuma while her son played with the other children. It looked like a playdate or that Stefani quickly met other parents because she was seen looking a little self conscious as she was photographed in a “ring around the rosy” circle. It looked like Kingston had a great time in the sandbox and playing with the other kids and you can tell that Gwen and Gavin are trying to help him have a fun and normal childhood.
Last week Stefani released the first photo of little Zuma, who was also photographed by the paparazzi right around that time. Stefani put out a posed photo on her website that featured her holding the infant in what was assumed to have been an attempt to undercut the high price that the first photos of the baby would fetch.
Today I met a German guy who knew the photographer who scored the first photo of Madonna’s first child, Lourdes, when she was a baby. According to the guy I spoke to, the photographer received over 200,000 Euro plus ongoing licensing feeds. He went on to start his own paparazzi agency and made so much money he was able to retire to Brazil. It’s not easy being a paparazzo, though, and those money shots are few and far between. The celebrity photo market is crowded now, and with celebrities like Stefani and Britney Spears releasing their own photos it’s getting even harder to score a huge payday from a few pictures.
Thanks to Fame for these photos
My Lord, Zuma is a cutie. Is it just me, or does he have really long, stretchy baby-arms?
what a precious family!! congrats to them…
it’s nice to see celebrities trying to balance superstardom with healthy childhoods!!
(and kids who are appropriately dressed for the day!)
yes kaiser, i thought the same thing from the photos last week.
not sure if it runs in their family but zuma is going to be really tall.
She looks fabulous. No-one rocks the red lippie and bleach blond without looking like a total bimbo like Stephanie. Too bad Xtina isn’t taking notes.
It seems to be a family get together of some sort. If ANYONE remembers early No Doubt, that’s her brother with the accordion.
Amazing there weren’t 1,000 over-paid dancers, heralds and trumpeters to announce the arrival. 🙄
Love her. Love Gavin, their children are adorable and appear to be happy and healthy. It’s nice to see celeb-spawn with smiles on their faces, playing with other children and dressed appropriately for the weather!! KatE could learn a whole lot from Gwen.
Such a cute normal family! 8) 😀
