Even though she’s a global superstar with a career that spans decades, she’s still experiencing the universal joy—and heartache—that comes with watching her kids grow up. Recently, the singer opened up about how emotional it was for her when her youngest son, Apollo, started kindergarten.

Speaking to Entertainment Weekly, the 53-year-old shared her feelings about this major milestone in her family’s life. "School started, and I now have a baby in kindergarten. Believe me, it was absolutely devastating," Gwen revealed. "But he’s so excited and doing so well! I also have two kids in junior high. God gave me three boys, and I’ve always been surrounded by boys—it’s been an adventure, to say the least!"
