Gavin Rossdale’s Instagram post with girlfriend Xhoana Xheneti sparks new wave of Gwen Stefani comparisons
Singer Gavin Rossdale, 59, recently shared a photo with his girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, 36, on Instagram, reigniting comparisons between Xheneti and Rossdale’s ex-wife, Gwen Stefani, 55. The photo, taken in Indian Wells, California, shows the couple in matching monochrome outfits.
Rossdale sported a casual look with black pants, a black cardigan, and white T-shirt. Xheneti wore a black and white striped Jean Paul Gaultier midi dress with black leather opera gloves, accessorized with a pink handbag and red lipstick—a shade often associated with Stefani.
Fans immediately flocked to the comments section, with many pointing out the resemblance between Xheneti and Stefani. Some comments ranged from “She’s a young clone of Gwen” and “A younger version of Gwen” to more pointed remarks like, “Must be hard living in her shadow.” Others questioned Xheneti’s style choices, given Stefani’s iconic look.
Rossdale and Stefani were married from 2002 to 2016 and share three sons. Their divorce followed allegations of Rossdale’s infidelity.
Despite the comparisons, many fans offered positive feedback on the photo, praising the couple’s appearance and wishing them well. Several called them a “hot couple” and complimented their stylish date night.
