There is no doubt Gavin Rossdale has a type.
The Bush frontman has been seen loved up with his new girlfriend,Xhoana X, since they took their relationship public in March 2024.
They recently turned heads while vacationing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, on May 9, 2024, as the Albanian singer shares a striking resemblance to Rossdale’s ex-wife, Gwen Stefani, whom he was married to from 2002 to 2016.

She was also seen sunbathing on the beach in an itty black bikini while Rossdale wore army fatigue swim shorts.

During the couple’s recent getaway, Xhoana X had fans doing a double take as she resembles the “Hollaback Girl” songstress.
Similarly to Stefani, the Albanian-born beauty also rocks long blond locks and wears bright colored lipstick.
They both also wear their hair in the same style, either slicked back or straight, and appear to have the same sense of fashion.
She grew up in Albania

Xhoana X — born Xhoana Xheneti — grew up in Tirana, Albania.
She’s previously opened up about growing up in a post-communist country during a 2021 interview with American Songwriter.
“When I was little, finally you could watch different [television] channels in different countries, and MTV, and like, different kinds of things,” she said. “Whereas, in my mom’s and my dad’s generation, they [lived] in the communist regime, so they couldn’t really do any of that.”
The “Crimson” singer explained she moved to the US in 1996 after her parents divorced and her mom “won the green card lottery.”
“When I moved to the States, it was just such a major culture shock in every way possible,” she continued, adding that her older sister, Evis, also made the move.

Similarly to her beau, Xhoana X is in the music industry.
She was influenced to become a singer after finding a lot of influence in the music she was exposed to throughout Albania and the US.
“When I came here in ’96 there was Tupac, Biggie and No Doubt and then Prodigy and Radiohead so just massive nonstop inspiration which I’m massively grateful for,” she told CelebMix.com in January 2021.
“I think you hear it all in my music — the attitude, the rebellion, the nostalgia, the vulnerability, the eclecticism.”
In 2021, Xhoana X released her first album, “The Villain,” followed by her 2023 EP, “Girlgun.”
She’s a traveler

Xhoana X and Rossdale have been together since 2023.
They kept their romance under wraps until deciding to go public in March 2024 when the “Adrenaline” singer posted his girlfriend on Instagram.
At the time, he shared a photo of the two of them at dinner while celebrating Xhoana X’s birthday.
“Hey finally got to have a birthday dinner with my girl@xhoana_xhere’s to a year filled with magic for you 🖤,” Rossdale captioned the sweet snap.

After debuting their romance, the couple attended the April 2024 iHeartRadio Music Awards together.
For the outing, Xhoana X donned a blue strapless dress while Rossdale kept it casual with a black jacket, yellow shirt and pants.
“Fun night in Hollywood (sic) for the @iheartradio awards!,” the “Machinehead” crooner wrote on Instagram alongside photos of the event.
“Saw some good friends. Watched some Excellent Performances. Lots of good music.”

Rossdale co-parents three sons with Stefani: Kingston, Zuma and Apollo. He also shares daughter, Daisy, with his ex-girlfriend Pearl Lowe.
In March 2024, the “Comedown” hitmaker revealed that Xhoana X had already met his kids while chatting about being a single dad during an appearance on the “Amy & T.J.” podcast.
“I didn’t know that you could do it all. Be the single dad who’s like, when they come around, I’m heroically present for them. It makes it difficult,” he said.
The father of four continued, “I’m not available for a week. You know, ‘Hi, I’m around for a week. I’m gone for a week. We’re around for a week.’ It’s just quite difficult, and so just blending that and being cool with that and not forcing that … She has met my children, though.”
