His own burgeoning music career has taken a backseat to their romance on his grid, with all but one picture dedicated to her.
Celebrating the past 12 months, he wrote: "What another great year it's been with you love. Happiest birthday to the kindest soul i've ever met. You never fail to make me smile. I'm so lucky to have you. Forever and always lovebug
His half-sister Daisy Lowe wrote: "Happiest birthday beautiful @lolaalbert we love you so dearly."
A quick glance at Kingston is enough to know that he is the son of Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale and No Doubt's Gwen Stefani.
The superstar couple married in 2002 and spent 14 years as man and wife before divorcing in 2016. They also share sons Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 11.
Two years ago, Kingston took a major step towards following in their footsteps when he performed his debut solo show after his famous stepfather, Blake Shelton, warmed up the crowd at a low-key gig.
Country music star and The Voice US coach Blake announced the show to his followers on social media, writing: "Okay, y'all, here's the deal,' he opened up in the message on social media. '7:30pm this Friday, I'm gonna set up and play 30 minutes or so acoustically.'
"Then I'm gonna turn the stage over to a debut artist that will be doing their very first public performance!"
There were shades of Gavin's floppy-haired 90s look as well as his angst-ridden raspy voice as Kingston confidently performed.
And it went down well with supporters around the world, with one watching on YouTube, writing: "Oooh his voice is beautiful in this! He reminds me of his dad :) i hope he keeps singing."

Another said: "He's got some definite potential! It shouldn't be too hard for him, as he's got the genes to start."
A third posted: "Reminds me of his dad's song glycerine.. The tone of his voice got the music chops from both parents. He's good."
Bush were bigger in the States than the UK, selling 10 million records in the US in the post-grunge boom in the middle of the decade.
Their 1996 album Razorblade Suitcase topped the Billboard 200 in 1996, two years after debut Sixteen Stone reached number four.

They released two more albums before going on hiatus for eight years in 2002. Since then they have put out a further six albums.
Meanwhile Gwen, 55, shot to fame as the platinum blonde, red-lipped singer of Ska veterans No Doubt.
It wasn't until the release of third album, Tragic Kingdom, in 1995 that the band found major commercial success.
It contained their most famous song, Don't Speak, which topped the US chart for 16 weeks.
In the early noughties Gwen became a huge solo star off the back of hit tracks like Hollaback Girl, Rich Girl and Cool.
In 2023 she returned to the stage in the UK as chief support to Pink.
Inside Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani's relationship
Gavin Rossdale, the charismatic frontman of the British rock band Bush, and Gwen Stefani, the effervescent lead singer of the American ska-pop group No Doubt, shared one of the most talked-about celebrity romances of their era.
Their relationship was a transatlantic love story that combined edgy rock 'n' roll with vibrant pop sensibilities, captivating fans on both sides of the pond.
The pair first crossed paths in 1995 when their bands were on tour together, and sparks flew almost instantly.
Despite their differing musical styles and cultural backgrounds, they bonded over their shared passion for music and their mutual admiration for each other's artistry.
Their relationship quickly blossomed, and they became one of the most iconic couples of the late '90s and early 2000s, often seen gracing red carpets and music events together.
In 2002, after several years of dating, Gavin and Gwen tied the knot in not one but two glamorous ceremonies—one in London and another in Los Angeles — honouring their cross-continental roots.
Their marriage seemed like a rock-solid union, and they went on to welcome three sons: Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. Their family life appeared to be a picture of modern rock royalty, with the couple frequently gushing about their love for each other in interviews.
However, behind the scenes, their relationship faced its share of challenges.
In 2015, after 13 years of marriage, Gwen filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
In the years following their divorce, Gwen found love again with country music star Blake Shelton, while Gavin is now in a relationship with singer Xhoana X.

The rapper and former security guard has accused the woman of "harassment, bullying, public safety and defamation of character". She has even been accused of telling Tak she "wished he died" after he had a minor prang in his car. In a lengthly statement on Instagram, Tak has broken his silence on the situation which he says occurred after he spent one night with her. Advertisement He told his fans: "First I would love to say thank you for the love and support I've received, really appreciate the ones who reached out to check in on me and make sure I'm doing okay. "I'm not going to feed into this behaviour, the people who know me know that I'm not capable of such things. "All of this will be dealt with accordingly and by the proper authorities as she has made some pretty serious and false allegations. "Harassment, bullying, public safety and defamation of character are serious offences and should not be taken lightly. Advertisement "And to all the people that enable this behaviour making fake accounts to give her false information and formulate scenarios that never occurred, it's worth taking a long look in the mirror before contributing to the defamation of someone's character." Tak appeared in the 2022 series of Love Island Australia. Love Island UK left looking tame as Aussie contestants boast about 'pounding' on the show Before entering the villa, he spoke proudly of his "strong morals". He lasted 22 days on the show.

Another added: "I feel like this level of crashout would be warranted to some extent if they were in a committed relationship, but based on what he said it sounds like she's the only person he's met off hinge." And a third said: "Idgaf [I don't give a f***] about hook ups btw but agree he's allowed to say he's not keen to continue things with her without her losing her mind like this. Hopefully the police help him." 4 Tak appeared on Love Island Australia in 2022 Credit: Nine Advertisement

Warning over classroom game accused of 'brainwashing' UK schoolchildren

EnergyTown is an online city builder game aimed at helping UK schools teach pupils about the energy system It is funded by energy giant Equinor, and hosts yearly school competitions Materials associated with the game describe renewable energy sources as 'less reliable' Climate campaigners accuse it of targeting children with fossil fuel propaganda But Equinor says the game demonstrates how the green energy transition is about balance Environment campaigners have sounded the alarm over a free online game being marketed to UK schoolchildren - which they say is designed to make them feel more positively about fossil fuels. EnergyTown is funded by Norwegian energy giant Equinor. Aimed at children aged nine to 14, it comes with free educational resources to be used in lessons. It allows them to build and power a city that will survive until the year 2050 - while juggling factors like their 'green score', community happiness, and finances. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The game first launched in October 2023, and as of last year, Equinor said that it had reached more than 81,400 pupils across the UK. The game also holds a schools competition with a £1,000 cash prize, with this year's event set to close on Friday (June 6). But Greenpeace accuses it of being an attempt to 'brainwash schoolchildren'. The game suggests that oil can be part of a green energy mix, and in an online help page - titled 'how to improve your score in EnergyTown - on the game's Equinor-funded host site, it warns young players that renewable energy is 'less reliable'.

'You should invest in a more reliable way to generate electricity, such as nuclear, oil, natural gas or hydrogen.' Equinor is also the majority owner of the controversial Rosebank oil and gas field development, 80 miles west of Shetland, which is thought to be the largest untapped oilfield in UK waters. In January this year, its consent was quashed by the Scottish Court of Session as unlawful, the BBC reports, meaning its owners must seek fresh approval from the UK Government before they begin extracting oil. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But the project has been widely protested by campaigners, who say that new oil and gas projects are not compatible with the UK's climate commitments. 'We know exactly what Equinor is playing at,' Mel Evans, the head of Greenpeace UK's climate team, said. 'This so-called educational game is a thinly-disguised attempt to greenwash oil and gas by targeting children with fossil fuel propaganda. The bitter irony is that while fossil fuels may help build a 'sustainable' energy future in the game's fictional world, they're driving more devastating floods in some of these schoolkids' communities,' she continued. 'For that reason alone, this cynical PR ploy is doomed to fail. We know many young children know a lot about the climate crisis and what's driving it. If Equinor wants to win young hearts and minds, it should get serious about ditching fossil fuels and shifting to clean energy.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Equinor spokesperson Magnus Frantzen Eidsvold told us that the game was part of Equinor's ordinary activities and programs 'to stimulate the interest in science and technology (STEM) among young people, and not developed as part of any Rosebank campaign'. 'Equinor wants to contribute to ensuring the next generation is equipped with the skills needed to drive the energy industry and transition forward,' he continued. The game had been developed using data from the International Energy Agency (IEA), which verified the scenarios used in EnergyTown to 'ensure they are realistic and representative of the UK's current energy system'. The game was designed to reflect this complexity and showed that the energy transition was about balance, he added, requiring a mix of sources over time. 'The IEA forecast that fossil fuels may be required in 2050 especially in areas where renewables alone can't meet demand. EnergyTown is not about endorsing any one solution, rather it's about equipping the next generation with knowledge to make better decisions.' The game was developed by marketing agency We Are Futures, and was quality-asserted for UK schoolchildren by the Association for Science Education (ASE).
