Fans React to Gavin Rossdale's New Date Night Photo with Girlfriend Who Is a 'Young Clone' of Gwen Stefani

The musician recently posted a picture during an outing with his partner, and many couldn't help but point out how similar she looks to his ex-wife.

On April 7, 2025, Gavin Rossdale uploaded what was supposed to be a beautiful memory of a date with his girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti. The couple can be seen posing in night attire, seemingly out on the town, but netizens rushed to the comments to talk about Xheneti's resemblance to Rossdale's former partner, Gwen Stefani.

Just like most people around the world, Rossdale has often used his social media to show off his life and relationship. This time, he posted a photo of a nice outing with Xheneti, along with the caption, "Desert nights 🖤."

Naturally, his followers and fans on Instagram were quick to react. One asked, "Gwen? 🤔" Another added, "Must be hard living in her shadow." One netizen wrote, "Wow 😮 she’s a young clone of Gwen 🤦🏼‍♀️ when one has a type of woman or has not forgotten ex 😅 [sic]."

However, not everyone was critical. Many loved seeing them together, like one fan who wrote, "What a great looking couple! 🖤🔥🙌🏻." Another added, "Beautiful photo 🔥❤️‍🔥💘💋." One fan praised Xheneti, "I like Xhoana. She has class."

Additionally, one follower called out others in the comment section. "Some of you really need to move on," they wrote.

Rossdale and Xheneti originally went "Instagram official" in March 2024, when the musician posted a birthday message for her. "Hey finally got to have a birthday dinner with my girl @xhoana_x here’s to a year filled with magic for you 🖤," the caption read.

He and Stefani divorced in 2015 after almost 13 years together. They released a statement at the time, assuring people that they had come to a "mutual decision" and remained "partners in parenthood" to raise their three sons, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo.
