In a recent Instagram post, Gavin Rossdale, Gwen Stephanie’s former husband, introduced his new girlfriend to the public. Fans were astonished by the striking resemblance between her and Stefani.
Fans were quick with their comments, ranging from amused to confused. “She looks like a younger version of Gwen,” one fan wrote. Another added, “He’s got another Gwen.” “Gwen’s twin,” a user agreed.
Sharp cheekbones? Platinum blond hair? It all checks out when you look at two women side by side. Even their eye shape and iconic up-do hairstyle are the same. “For 2 seconds there, I thought that was Gwen lol. He certainly has a type,” commented a fan.
“I really thought that was Gwen, co-parent style….but then I realized that is a wish version of Gwen…” one commented.

Shared parenting is still happening, just not publicly. After all, Stefani and Rossdale have navigated their post-divorce relationship with a focus on co-parenting their three children, Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10.

Together, they said in a statement, “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”

“It really is about putting the children first. That’s how it works, really. I can run my kids autonomously, which is good. When they come around me they know the drills. What’s interesting for them, and what I think is best for my kids, is that they get the chance to see two opposing ways of life—diametrically opposed systems,” he said.

Even though the story is in the past now and the ending seems nice, some mysteries will forever surround the breakup. In an interview, Gwen assured the public that almost nobody knows the specifics about what happened between her and Gavin Rossdale.

“Nobody except for my parents, the people involved, and whoever they told. Nobody would believe it if I could really say what happened. I went through months and months of torture,” said the singer and kept the rest of the story to herself.

The details around their breakup remain unclear, but Rossdale’s new love chapter is now open for all to see. History has a curious way of repeating itself, and as the singer dives into a new relationship with Xhoana, it remains to be seen if the resemblances in their appearances with Gwen Stefani will mirror the similarities in their love stories.
