Some people have that one person who they'll never get over … the one who got away. And for musician Gavin Rossdale, apparently, that person is his ex-wife Gwen Stefani. The former couple was married from 2002 to 2016 and share three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. Gwen filed for divorce in 2016 after Gavin allegedly cheated on her with their sons’ nanny.
Even though she’s moved on and has been married to singer Blake Shelton since 2021, it seems that Gavin can’t quite do the same. People were shocked when Gavin was recently spotted on vacation with his new girlfriend, Xhoana X, who bears a striking resemblance to his famous ex.

People are doing a double take.
Gavin and Xhoana X enjoyed some vacation time together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, last week. Xhoana X, born Xhoana Xheneti, is an Albanian singer. The couple canoodled on a deck before hitting the beach.
During their time on the beach, she wore a black string bikini with denim shorts, donning a thick black headband to hold back her platinum blond hair and bright red lipstick. She even has Gwen’s signature '90s thin eyebrows. Gavin walked around shirtless in camo shorts.
Does Gavin realize the resemblance?
Though they began dating in 2023, they didn’t become Instagram official until March 2024 when Gavin shared a picture of them at dinner to celebrate his birthday.
"Hey finally got to have a birthday dinner with my girl @xhoana_x here’s to a year filled with magic for you," he captioned the picture.

People cannot get over it.
"Why is no one saying Gwen Stephony?" one person tweeted.
"It’s giving, 'Your new girl is my clone,'" someone else added, quoting the Taylor Swift song "Is It Over Now?"
"Cheated on Gwen with the nanny and now he dating a Gwen look alike years later," yet another person pointed out.
Gavin recently opened up about his divorce.
During an appearance on the Amy & T.J. podcast earlier this year, Gavin called his divorce from Gwen “a simple shame in my life.”
"I feel bad for my kids, that's it. I wish I could have found a way to not have that in their lives. It wasn't fun for me to come from a broken home … It can be quite debilitating for kids … the overriding things is you don't want to let your kids down."
It's hard to tell what kind of relationship they have now.
Last year, Gavin admitted that he and Gwen don’t co-parent their three boys. Instead, they each parent in their own way.
"I think you can go one of two ways. You can either do everything together and really co-parent and see how that goes, or you can just parent. And I think we just parent," he said on the Not So Hollywood podcast.
