Plus, how Gavin launched his new relationship earlier this year and how Gwen and Blake are squashing split rumors
XHOANA Xheneti, Gavin Rossdale’s new girlfriend, looks just like his ex-wife in new PDA-packed photos according to fans.
Gavin, 58, and his girlfriend were recently seen getting cozy during their romantic getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
The British musician was spotted with his shirt off and camouflage shorts, walking as Xhoana stood behind him in a tiny outfit.
Xhoana wore a plunging black bikini and unbuttoned denim short shorts, showing off her slim figure and cleavage.
Other snaps showed her thong bathing suit bottoms, which barely covered her backside.
The two were seen packing on the PDA as the Xhoana was captured giving Gavin a hug from behind.
At moments, Xhoana was seen with her hands over Gavin’s chest as he put his hand over hers.
GWEN 2.0?
In the photos, the Los Angeles-based art director had an uncanny resemblance to Gavin’s ex, Gwen Stefani, 54.
The lead singer of Bush was previously married to Gwen from 2002 to 2015.
The former couple share three sons: Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10.
Xhoana’s vacation look was completed with a chunky black headband that held back her bleached-blond hair, which resembled that of Gwen’s.
She also wore bright red lipstick and had her eyebrows thinly shaped — a look that became Gwen’s signature throughout her career.
Photos of the new couple were shared on X, where fans quickly called out the resemblance.
“It seems like Gavin Rossdale has found his Gwen Stefani doppelganger in Xhoana X!” one person said.
“He really did trade in for a younger model,” a second tweeted.
