Blake celebrated Mother’s Day on Sunday with the sweetest post to his main Instagram page.

The megastar donned a baseball cap and a patterned shirt while with an unexpected plus-one – his mom.

Dorothy threw a hand over her son’s shoulder and held her face close to his for the snap.

They appeared to be in Dorothy’s home, ostensibly where Blake was raised in Oklahoma.

Dorothy was the star of the show as she donned auburn tresses and a country-style top while beaming.

His post was simply captioned, “Happy Mother’s Day mom!!! I love you!”

‘OMG LOOKS SO YOUNG!’

Fans took to the comments section, blown away by the rare glimpse at the country crooner’s mom who looked great.

“That’s your Mom?!! Don’t think we see many pictures of her. She’s a beautiful Mom. Maybe share more pictures of time together with her?!!” a top comment read.

“Omg she looks like a sister wow,” wrote another.

“She looks SO young!” penned a third.

“I love that!! Happy Mothers Day to your mom! She is beautiful and looks too young to be your mom!” wrote a fourth.

BLAKE’S TOUGH PAST

Dorothy is – as fate would have it – a songwriter, author, artist and retired hairdresser.

She co-wrote a holiday song with her son, “Time for Me to Come Home,” which later inspired a Hallmark Christmas movie franchise.

The “Happy Anywhere” singer is one of Dorothy’s three children.

She had one child, the late Richie, with her first husband, Ronnie Musgrove, and two children, daughter Endy Shelton Intrieri and son Blake, with her second husband, Dick Shelton.

Richard “Dick” Shelton died in 2012, and was a car salesman.

They got divorced, and Dorothy later married her third husband Mike Shackleford, who was Blake’s first boss and a music manager.

Blake has always been close to his mom, and she pushed him toward his dreams.

“When my mom pulls into the driveway, I don’t roll my eyes like a lot of people do when they see their mom coming,” he told CMT in 2011.

“I’m excited because she’s so much fun to be around, the older I get, especially.”

Dorothy also told Today that she wasn’t surprised to see her son’s star power rise after he joined The Voice (for 12 years).

“Even when he was young, people took to him, because he’s been like that all his life, just a jokester, cut up, crazy, bug you to death, pester. I mean, that’s him,” Dorothy said.

She also attributed her personality to both her and his late father.

‘SUPERWOMAN’

Last week, Blake bowed down to another woman in his life- wife Gwen Stefani, 54.

She flew in for his appearance at the 27th annual Power of Love® Gala.

The No Doubt star was all smiles as she dazzled in a short silver dress while Blake looked classy in a dark suit jacket and jeans.

The couple smiled and looked at ease in front of the media while posing on the pink carpet.

The singing lovebirds, who wed in June 2021 after meeting on The Voice seven years earlier, clapped back at any doubters of their marriage.

The Barmegeddon host declared his wife “superwoman” for jetting to Sin City from the Bahamas to support him.

“It is amazing. She is a superwoman,” he told The U.S. Sun.

Blake gushed, “This time last night she was doing a show in the Bahamas and she made it here. It is amazing.”

The country music superstar also spoke about being a proud stepfather to Gwen’s children, who are “always prepared” to support their mom.

When asked whether he had to remind them to prepare for Mother’s Day, he said, “I don’t have to because her sons have been incredible.”

The country star is stepfather to the singer’s three sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale, 58.
