After splitting from Gwen Stefani nine years ago, Gavin Rossdale recently shared a photo on Instagram with his new girlfriend, sparking reactions from fans who noticed striking similarities between her and his ex-wife.

Comments flooded in, with many noting the resemblance between Rossdale’s new girlfriend and Stefani, from their sharp cheekbones to their platinum blonde hair and iconic hairstyles.

While some described it as Rossdale having a “type,” others were surprised by the uncanny resemblance, with one user even dubbing the new girlfriend as a “wish version” of Stefani.

Rossdale’s new girlfriend, Xhoana, is an LA-based singer-songwriter from Albania, adding another layer to the comparisons with Stefani, who is also a musician.

Despite the public reaction to the photo, Rossdale and Stefani have maintained a shared parenting approach for their three children, prioritizing their well-being above all else.

In a statement, they expressed their commitment to co-parenting and providing a happy and healthy environment for their sons, emphasizing the importance of putting the children first.

While the specifics of Stefani and Rossdale’s breakup remain private, Stefani has hinted at the challenges she faced during that time, keeping the details to herself.

As Rossdale embarks on a new chapter in his love life with Xhoana, the similarities in their appearances with Stefani raise questions about whether their love stories will mirror the past.
