Doing a double take. 😳 Gavin Rossdale and his girlfriend Xhoana X, who bears a strong likeness to his ex-wife Gwen Stefani, were spotted heading to the Cabo beaches during a vacation in Mexico

Gavin Rossdale and his musician girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, are enjoying a romantic vacation together.

In a snapshot obtained by ET, the pair snuggles up to one another while on a romantic holiday in Mexico. Xheneti, also known as Xhoana X, snuggle up against the 58-year-old Bush frontman’s back before heading to Cabo’s sun-soaked beaches.

The 35-year-old singer flaunts her physique in a black bikini and frayed jean shorts. Xheneti accessorizes her casual look with a black headband that holds back her blonde hair and a bold red lipstick.

Rossdale is equally casual, wearing a black tank top and cameo bathing shorts.

While Rossdale recently became Instagram official with Xheneti, uploading a photo with the Albanian-born musician, the father of four has been a regular visitor to Xheneti’s Instagram account since October 2023.

“Hey finally got to have a birthday dinner with my girl @xhoana_x here’s to a year filled with magic for you ,” Rossdale captioned the Instagram post featuring him and Xheneti in March.

Xheneti took to the comments to thank her beau, writing, “Awee ️‍ thank you baby ”

A month later, the couple made their red carpet debut at the iHeartRadio Music Awards in April. Rossdale uploaded a collection of images from the annual awards ceremony, including one of him and Xheneti on the carpet together.

“Fun night in hollywood for the @iheartradio awards! Saw some good friends. Watched some Excellent Performances. Lots of good music . @justintimberlake !!!

Fans have pointed out the resemblance between Xheneti and Rossdale’s ex-wife, Gwen Stefani. Not only are the two women blonde bombshells who enjoy wearing bold red lipstick, but they are also musicians with similar aesthetics.

Rossdale and 54-year-old Stefani met in 1995 and married in 2002. They announced their breakup in 2015, following accusations that Rossdale had been unfaithful to Stefani. The former marriage has three sons: Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, ten. Rossdale also has a 35-year-old daughter named Daisy Lowe from his former relationship with Pearl Lowe.

Rossdale has been relatively silent about his ex and their relationship, but on an episode of the Amy & T.J. podcast with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes last month, he opened up about his “clearest, simplest shame,” which was delivering his children a “broken home.”

“I never thought I’d ever get divorced. So there’s a simple shame in my life,” Rossdale explained.

Noting that both of his parents had been married three times, he added that he never wanted his children to have a similar experience to his own.

“I feel bad for my kids, that’s it,” he said. “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.” Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale – Chris Polk/Getty Images

Without directly naming Stefani, Rossdale said, “The biggest thing would be when you see the kids that sometimes there’s a loss. It’d be nice if there was more of a connection with the person who made them with me.”

Stefani remarried singer Blake Shelton in 2021. The No Doubt frontwoman first bonded with the country singer on The Voice when she was splitting up from Rossdale and Shelton was going through a divorce from Miranda Lambert.

“I go to a lot of events where there’s ‘the other team,’ so to speak and I just feel really proud of myself in my consistency as a father. I know in my heart that I’m super consistent,” the British musician said, seemingly referencing Stefani and Shelton.

And despite what he described as a “very contentious, hugely emotional, flared-up situation,” Rossdale noted that he does his best not to speak about Stefani.

“Less said, soonest mended and I said nothing,” he said of the divorce. “I’m handcuffed because I would never want to overly say anything negative about their mom. That’s just not right.”Zuma Rossdale, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton, Apollo Rossdale, and Kingston Rossdale attend Blake Shelton’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony – Frazer Harrison/Getty Images

Rossdale said he has peace about how things have turned out between him and Stefani.

“I think that there’s no accidents in life so you are where you’re meant to be. So I don’t live in regret,” he shared. “Life just unfolds how it should.”

Rossdale previously opened up about his unconventional co-parenting style with his ex on an episode of the Not So Hollywood podcast last summer.

“I think you can go one of two ways,” Rossdale shared. “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.”

“We’re really different people,” he continued. “I don’t think there’s much similarity in the way we bring them up, but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they’d like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process.”

The artist said that he and the “Don’t Speak” singer have conflicting viewpoints on certain issues, but that will benefit their children in the future.

“Because that’s what’s important is to give them a wide view of things and we definitely have some particularly opposing views, so I think it’d be really helpful for them to make their own minds as individuals,” he shared.
