‘That’s Not Gwen?’: Gwen Stefani’s Ex Seen Relaxing with New Woman Who Looks ‘Exactly’ Like Her, Astounding Fans

Gavin Rossdale recently made headlines for his romantic escapades and the striking resemblance his new girlfriend has to his ex-wife, Gwen Stefani. During a getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Rossdale and his girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, were seen engaging in public displays of affection. This prompted a wave of double takes and buzzing social media commentary.

Xheneti is an Albanian singer and seemed to fully embrace their vacation spirit. Photographs obtained by Page Six show the couple in various moments of intimacy and leisure. Xheneti, embodying a casual yet striking presence, wrapped her arms around Rossdale from behind as he comfortably sat in a chair.

In another tender moment, she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek, an image that Rossdale appeared to relish as he smiled, busily engaged with his phone.

Rossdale opted for a laid-back look, donning a black tank top paired with army fatigue swim shorts. Xheneti sported a black bikini complemented by distressed jean shorts, her blonde hair neatly pulled back with a stylish black headband. This made her red lipstick a standout feature against her minimalist ensemble.

The visual similarity between Xheneti and Stefani was undeniable and became a central point of discussion among observers. Xheneti’s choice of a bold red lip, platinum blonde hair, and a fashion-forward ensemble closely mirrored Stefani’s iconic style.

The public’s reaction to this resemblance was a mix of amusement and bewilderment. Many fans turned to social media to express their thoughts. Comments flooded in, with one fan exclaiming, “you’re telling me that’s not Gwen Stefani?!” and another adding, “This is soooooo bizarre!!!“

The sentiment that Rossdale might still harbor feelings for Stefani was implied by remarks like, “tell me you still love Gwen without telling me you still love Gwen 💯.“

Additional comments underscored the confusion and intrigue, with fans saying, “For a minute there I thought Gwen ditched Blake” and “I was sitting here thinking…I thought she was with Blake Shelton… 😳😳😳“. Another agreed, saying “I was so confused it looks exactly like her.” One fan commented, “That’s not Gwen? Wow that’s creepy.” Another joked, “That is the winner of doppelgängers.“

As Rossdale finds companionship with Xheneti, the visual parallels to his previous marriage with Stefani invite a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny from the public. Although these photos gained significant public attention, it is not the first time the pair has been spotted together. We recently reported that they made their red carpet debut together in April.

Rossdale and Xheneti looked perfect in each other’s arms as they attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The pair’s red carpet debut sparked numerous reactions online.

The “Little Things” singer shared a series of pictures on Instagram from the event, captioning, “Fun night in hollywood for the @iheartradio awards! Saw some good friends. Watched some Excellent Performances. Lots of good music.”

One photo that particularly caught peoples’ attention was of Rossdale with Xheneti in his arms. Xheneti dazzled in a one-shoulder, light blue chiffon dress. She was wearing the Wave Dress by Aliona Kononova, a designer from Los Angeles with Moldavian roots.

Xheneti accessorized her outfit with blue sunglasses and styled her blonde hair in a high bun with two face-framing tendrils. Meahwile, Rossdale complemented her in a black jacket, matching trousers, and a yellow T-shirt underneath. He completed the smart and casual look with black sneakers.

Fans commented on the couple’s magnificent appearance. A fan gushed. “The last photo 😍😍😍 Gorgeous couple🙌🏻, while another inquired, “Who’s the pretty lady?? She should smile.” “Glad you had fun G!!! Happy you found #xhoanaxheneti she’s beautiful 🤩 ❤,” an excited fan noted.

Online users were amazed by Rossdale’s new girlfriend’s beauty. “Stunning dress 🔥,“ a user said. “It looks so great on her! 👏❤,” another user concurred.

Rossdale and Stefani parted ways in 2015. The exes had tied the knot in 2002 and share three kids, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. The “Comedown” singer never thought he would get divorced, as his parents were both married three times each. Still, Rossdale doesn’t sit in regret, looking at how his marriage to Stefani ended.

He only expressed regret about the diminished connection with Stefani, “The biggest thing would be, sometimes I wish that, that, when you see the kids, that sometimes there’s a loss…It’d be nice if there was a sort of more of a connection with the person who made them with me.”

Rossdale lamented the lack of a closer relationship with the mother of his children and the reality of his kids growing up in a broken household. However, the 58-year-old appears to be happy and in love in his recent photos with his new girlfriend.

While he is in a new relationship, Rossdale and Stefani still co-parent their children. The pair have managed their post-divorce relationship with a focus on their three sons.

Together, they said in a statement, “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”

Rossdale himself has spoken about the importance of putting the children first, emphasizing how their shared parenting approach allows their kids to experience “two opposing ways of life.”

“It really is about putting the children first. That’s how it works, really. I can run my kids autonomously, which is good. When they come around me they know the drills. What’s interesting for them, and what I think is best for my kids, is that they get the chance to see two opposing ways of life—diametrically opposed systems,” he said.

Even though the story is in the past now and the ending seems nice, some mysteries will forever surround the breakup. In an interview, Stefani assured the public that almost nobody knows the specifics about what happened between her and Rossdale.

“Nobody except for my parents, the people involved, and whoever they told. Nobody would believe it if I could really say what happened. I went through months and months of torture,” said the singer, and kept the rest of the story to herself.

The details around their breakup remain unclear, but Rossdale’s new love chapter is now open for all to see. History has a curious way of repeating itself, and as the singer dives into a new relationship with Xheneti, it remains to be seen if the resemblances in their appearances with Stefani will mirror the similarities in their love stories.
