Blake Shelton shared a laugh with one of Gwen Stefani's sons as they posed for a family picture at her Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony.
In a video from the special event captured by PEOPLE, the country crooner, stepfather to his singer wife's three children — Apollo, 9, Zuma, 15, and Kingston, 17 — performed a subtle, playful prank.
Standing next to Zuma, he moves his hand from the teen's shoulder to stick his finger by his ear, causing him to laugh and shrug the feeling away. Shelton, 47, laughed at the moment as they continued to be photographed.

Speaking with PEOPLE last month, Stefani reflected on her rise to fame in the late '90s and 2000s, sharing that her experience was bittersweet.
"I took Kingston on a world tour [when he was 9 months old]. We did 120 shows. I would have to nurse him and then get on stage, and then come off and he would twirl my ponytail," she recalled.
"If I could say I regretted something, I would say that I wish that I could have divided it because that time is so precious. That's when things got really hard for me emotionally because you just don't want to miss anything," continued the singer, "But at the same time, you also don't want to let go of this momentum."

Speaking with PEOPLE last December, Shelton opened up about prioritizing family over career in this chapter of his life.
"If I walked away from my career at this time, the only thing that I run the risk of is having regrets that I'm missing out on some more important things in life. For now, that's our kids. This isn't about me anymore and never will be again," he shared.
"Even though I'm a stepparent, I take that job very seriously. The kids see me as a very important person in their life," he continued. "[When they ask,] 'Why isn't Blake here?' I take that stuff to heart. I've made plenty of money, but you can't buy time back. I don't want any regrets."
Today’s Google Doodle celebrates the 110th birthday of Mary Golda Ross, a math prodigy who became both the first female and Native American engineer at Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, where she helped develop the rocket technology that launched America into space. Ross was born in Park Hill, Oklahoma, on August 9, 1908, and died nearly 100 years later on April 29, 2008, in Los Altos, California. She was the great-granddaughter of John Ross, the longest-serving chief of the Cherokee Nation. She said her heritage contributed to her academic success. “I was brought up in the Cherokee tradition of equal education for boys and girls,” Ross said, according to the Cherokee Nation’s website . After graduating from Northeastern State College in 1928 with a math degree, Ross became a high school teacher for several years. A brief spell in the civil service at the U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs in Washington, D.C. followed before she enrolled on a master’s degree course in math at t...
VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. — A municipal building in Virginia Beach, Va., was turned into a scene of carnage on Friday afternoon after a longtime public utilities employee began firing indiscriminately at his co-workers with a handgun, the authorities said, killing a dozen people and injuring several others before dying after an extended shootout with the police. It had been nearing closing time in an office offering some of the most mundane functions of city government, such as paying water bills and applying for building permits, when the employee began stalking through several floors firing at his colleagues, the authorities said. The loud bursts of gunfire sent workers scrambling and barricading their office doors. Zand Bakhtiari, 28, who works on the first floor of the city building where the shooting happened, looked out his window about 4 p.m. and saw people screaming and running. “I thought they were running to the scene of a bad car accident,” he said in a telephone inter...
