Gwen Stefani turned to Christianity after becoming pregnant at 44.

The Don’t Speak hitmaker, now 56, has recalled having deep conversations with a former “atheist Jew” who converted to Judaism, and those chats started “waking [her] up”.

Speaking to Hallow: Prayer and Meditation on YouTube, she said: “He was studying the Torah, and he had this big epiphany awakening, and he start[ed] talking to me about the Torah.

“I was desperate at this point during all this. I really wanted to have another baby. I really did. I couldn’t, and I was old.”

In 2013, her son Kingston, now 19, asked her for another sibling when he was around 8 years old, and she used to hear him praying for her to conceive.The No Doubt singer told him: “I’m sorry, your mommy is too old to have a baby.”

She recalled: “It was like, four weeks later, and I was pregnant with Apollo. I had him at 44 years old, naturally.”

Gwen – who has sons Kingston, Zuma, 17, and Apollo, 12 with ex-husband Gavin Rossdale – described becoming a mother for a third time as a “full-on gift” and “the first miracle”.
