3 Celebrities Who Found Love with Non-famous Lookalikes of Their Star Ex-spouses

Valerie Bertinelli, Brad Pitt, and Gavin Rossdale have been spotted with new partners who strikingly resemble their previous significant others. These similarities have not gone unnoticed by fans and onlookers alike.

In the world of glittering Hollywood romance, the notion of having a "type" takes on a striking visual truth for many celebrities, including those like Valerie Bertinelli, Brad Pitt, and Gavin Rossdale.

Each has recently raised eyebrows and stoked the fires of public curiosity by stepping out with new partners who bear a striking resemblance to their former flames.

Valerie Bertinelli

Yesterday, cookbook author Valerie Bertinelli took to Instagram to give her fans and followers a long-anticipated look at her dashing new beau.

Bertinelli's heartwarming photo showed her bubbling with excitement as she cozied up next to her boyfriend, Michael Goodnough. Her caption included a few lines from one of Taylor Swift's new songs, "So High School."

When fans caught wind of the photo, many of them pointed out how much Goodnough bears a striking resemblance to Bertinelli's ex-husband, legendary rock artist Eddie Van Halen.

"I think he kinda looks like Ed," stated one person. Similarly, another asserted, "He bears a slight resemblance to Eddie." Others made comments about how good they look together as a couple. "Omg they look like they were made for one another," swooned a fan. Another praised: "Look great together!"

However, amid the compliments, a social media user expressed concern, writing, "I hope she's gotten completely over her deceased ex Eddie. The last ex didn't have a chance because all she talked about was Eddie Van Halen." Nonetheless, most were in support of Bertinelli and Goodnough.

Bertinelli's partner also shared the same image on X. Alongside the endearing snap of the couple, who both wore glasses, the writer wrote: "We were coming off a 14-hour day, were both exhausted, and hadn't eaten since lunch. She took this pic with her phone across a hotel bar."

He concluded his caption, stating, "If you’re going to post a first pic, it might as well be one where ya ain't nothing but happy. — with @Wolfiesmom."

Though the world now knows that Bertinelli and Goodnough are in a relationship—having gone social media official with both of their posts—she had already appeared with him before.

Earlier in April, on "The Drew Barrymore Show," Bertinelli was seen walking with Goodnough. A photo of the duo shows him protectively holding onto Bertinelli's back as the two walk together outside the studio.

Bertinelli posted this photo on her Threads account and captioned it, "Hiding in plain sight 🤭." In response to his beloved girlfriend's post, Goodnough quipped, "No idea who the security guy is but you look great," which then prompted a flurry of threads from social media users.

Although Bertinelli has found bliss with her new love, she previously admitted that Van Halen was her soulmate even though they did not work out.

In a past interview, she spoke about her late ex and the regrets she faced in her life. "I wish I could have spent more time with Ed. I think you have more than one soulmate [...] But I think with Ed [...] our love turned into something more about soul love," Bertinelli disclosed.

However, Valerie Bertinelli also got real about the issues she and Van Halen faced as a couple. "We weren’t really good to each other at a lot of points in our lives because we met so young and were very immature," she shared.

She ended her statement on a high note, expressing relief and gratitude that the two were able to come to a resolution and find themselves in a "beautiful place" before his passing.

Although she wishes he were "still here," Bertinelli now has Goodnough by her side to ease her heartache. The two may have only officially confirmed their relationship with a joint photo now, but they had already long been hinting at their romance, which we previously reported on April 18, 2024.

The 63-year-old's romance with the captivating, yet mysterious figure, previously only known as Hoarse Whisperer on social media, has continued to spark joy and intrigue among her admirers.

Whispers about her new beau began to crescendo when he took to social media to post a screenshot of an article from The Sun. It speculated about his identity being linked romantically to Bertinelli.

The post featured a picture of a man with light eyes and distinguished salt-and-pepper hair. Adding to the plot were Goodnough's playful annotations that read: “Breaking news in The Sun” and “Big if true.”

Bertinelli engaged with the 53-year-old's post in the comment section with humor and affection. She posted a gif of a woman spitting out the contents of her coffee mug in a fit of laughter.

Fans also took to the comment section to express their elation and support for the couple. One fan exclaimed, “It's taken them this long to figure this out? My P.I. skills deduced this about 2 hours after she announced it. Clues people!!!🕵.”

Another shared, “😂 I'm so happy that you put that smile back on her face. She deserves it. I'll bet you both do. Wishing you both all the happiness! 💕💕.” A third comment stated, “You two!🥳🥳🥳 Makes me believe in love again.❤️❤️❤️ Wish you both nothing but peace, love & light✌🏻❤️☀️.”

Adding another layer of depth to their love story, Bertinelli had gushed over her beau on “The Drew Barrymore Show.” Here she spoke about her cookbook, self-healing, and shared exciting details about her love life.

When asked why she looked so radiant and "hot" these days, Bertinelli responded, “I got maybe 20 to 25 years left so I wanna [...] Indulge and have a flippin' good time."

She then went on to describe Goodnough—a charming writer from the East Coast who is ten years her junior—in glowing terms. Not only did she boast about how physically attractive he is but she also labeled him "thoughtful and kind and ridiculously talented."

When discussing how their relationship started, Bertinelli divulged, "I actually started following him on Twitter back in 2016 or 17. He has a really amazing Twitter following. He's very funny, very acerbic, and political at that time."

“And then in the beginning of January, we just started DMing every day. Then we started texting, then we started calling each other, talking for five hours a day and then face timing and then I met him in New York a month ago and I'm just gone,” she continued.

Drew Barrymore remarked that it sounded like a movie romance. Barrymore then asked Bertinelli whether her relationship would be bi-coastal, to which Valerie Bertinelli replied, "Yes, I would love to be here more often."

Before her candid revelation on Barrymore’s show, Goodnough had already started hinting at their relationship through cryptic posts. In March, he uploaded a video dressed incognito in a black wig and dark shades, appearing to be scouting from behind a brick wall.

The video included a Daily Mail article headline which mentioned: “Valerie Bertinelli reveals she is DATING a mystery man…” It was also accompanied by The Outfield’s song, "Mystery Man." The caption posted alongside the video says, “Could be anyone, really.”

Later that month, Goodnough posted a selfie on a plane, with a woman in the background who looked like Bertinelli. In another post made earlier this month (April), he shared a photo of a news display featuring a People magazine with Bertinelli on the cover.

“I Fell in Love When I Least Expected It!” was written as one of the headlines of the magazine. Bertinelli's boyfriend's caption expressed, “Just browsing the magazine rack. As one does.”

This prompted responses like “You two are the next Taylor and Travis! ❤️❤️,” with another fan adding, “Especially for us Boomers ♥️.” Someone else swooned, “So happy for you both -- love this modern love story 💗.”

The next day, he posted a photo of himself reading the same magazine on a plane, captioned, “Long flights are a great time to catch up on your reading.” A user commented, “You look like a writer from the East Coast,” to which Bertinelli responded, posting a “🤭” emoji, while another fan said, “I know who [your] bf is!!! 😄💖.”

Several days ago, Goodnough, who like her, has a son, shared another photo that hinted at their relationship. His hand was covered in what appeared to be animal fur shedding. On this, someone quipped, "Well you are w Wolfies Mom lol."

What was particularly interesting is that the backdrop featured a floral patterned carpet that strikingly resembled one seen in Bertinelli’s home in a video from September 2022. This connection—along with Bertinelli's known love for her cats—subtly suggested their shared domestic life.

What is now a love in full blossom once started as a new beginning that Bertinelli had not anticipated to encounter, especially after going through a divorce. We previously reported on her initial candid reflections on the personal journey she went on which led her to her new relationship.

Bertinelli had confessed that her personal life had taken an unexpected turn for the better. This confession came on the heels of a period of significant personal transformation and growth for the renowned TV star and cookbook author.

Following the end of her marriage to her second husband, Tom Vitale, a dedicated journey towards self-acceptance, a return to her culinary roots with the release of a new cookbook titled "Indulge," and the mourning of her first husband, Bertinelli found love in a place she least expected.

"I’m in love. It’s a seesaw of emotions because I was adamant I was never falling in love again. I was supposed to die with my six cats and my dog,” Bertinelli said, with laughter lightening her confession. “And very happily live the rest of my years alone—I'm good alone.”

Yet, life had something other than cats and dogs in mind. Despite her previously not being ready to disclose the identity of the man who has captured her heart, Bertinelli shared enough to paint a picture of newfound happiness and a belly full of butterflies with her "special" man.

"My belly is flip-flopping. This was not supposed to happen," she admitted, hinting at the unexpected twist her life has taken, but she added that it "feels incredibly right." The journey to this unexpected romance was not a short one.

Bertinelli emphasized the long and often challenging path to learning to love herself again, a crucial step before she could open her heart to someone new. "I want to be clear that this process has taken a long time," she asserted.

Following her 2022 divorce from Vitale and the loss of Van Halen in 2020, Bertinelli embarked on a healing journey involving therapy, introspection, and a lot of walks with her dog, Luna.

Her cookbook, "Indulge," emerged as a byproduct of this emotional and mental healing. It represents not just her passion for cooking but also her pathway through grief, self-doubt, and ultimately, self-love.

Through her favorite recipes and intimate vignettes, Bertinelli tells a story of personal growth, a testament to her belief in the transformative power of facing one's emotions head-on.

The turning point in Bertinelli's journey came when she connected with Goodnough on Instagram, initially forming a platonic relationship. The East Coast writer gradually became a significant figure in her life.

"It was strictly platonic, but there was something about him that I connected with that felt familiar," Bertinelli explains of the connection she formed.

Their relationship evolved over time, moving from friendly chats to something much deeper and more romantic. "It’s crazy the comfort level," she says, reflecting on how naturally their relationship progressed.

This new chapter in Bertinelli's life is not just about finding love; it's about rediscovering joy and allowing herself to embrace happiness fully. "I found joy first," she says, indicating the importance of inner peace and happiness as the foundation for any relationship.

Her emotional journey through divorce and self-discovery has been both public and poignant. Bertinelli has been open about the pain of her separation from Vitale, sharing her feelings and healing process with her followers.

In an emotional video that she posted online, she delved into the aftermath of her divorce, shedding light on the painful yet cathartic release she experiences through various forms of therapy.

"It's so painful, but there's a release that happens that's really helpful," Bertinelli explained. Her approach to healing is holistic, incorporating therapy, journaling, meditation, and physical therapies like rolfing, all aimed at addressing the emotional pain stored in her body.

"I am over it. I'm over the narcissist. I'm long over the narcissist," she declared, emphasizing her journey toward self-discovery and empowerment.

This period of introspection led Bertinelli to a significant realization about her tolerance for what was intolerable, sparking a transformation in how she views herself and her worth.

Bertinelli filed for divorce in May 2022, citing irreconcilable differences nine years after they married. The pair had already separated in December 2019. They filed for legal separation in late 2021 and had a prenuptial agreement at the time of their divorce.

The final divorce settlement saw Bertinelli pay Vitale $2.2 million, with neither of the pair obligated to pay spousal support to the other. Shortly after the papers were signed, Bertinelli declared herself "happily divorced."

As she continues in her journey, her focus is figuring out what made her "tolerate the intolerable." Her candidness extends beyond personal healing to address the broader issue of emotional abuse in relationships, advocating for self-worth and the right to a joyful life.

Bertinelli's revelation that she is in love with Goodnough came after we previously reported that she had met someone new and unexpected.

Amid the promotional whirlwind for her cookbook, "Indulge," Bertinelli told a news outlet that she had found new joy in a relationship that's markedly different from any she's experienced before.

"I’ve met someone. And I’m incredibly grateful for him," she expressed, a sentiment that not only highlighted the novelty of this chapter in her life but also the profound appreciation she harbors for her new love. "I wasn’t expecting it! He was not on my radar." Bertinelli exclaimed.

As a juxtaposition to the end of her previous relationship, Bertinelli's romantic revelation offered a glimmer of optimism, especially to those who may feel their opportunities for love and happiness are behind them.

On this, she underscored the transformative power of self-reflection and growth and advised, "I really want women and men to take away that it’s the work that you do (on yourself) that can lead you to meeting someone like I’ve been lucky enough to meet right now."

The "One Day at a Time" star's candor regarding her new relationship extended to social media, where she humorously acknowledged her newfound happiness conflicting with her past declaration of remaining single.

A TikTok repost showcased Bertinelli mouthing a resolute "Yeah, […] no," to the idea of dating again, with the addition of a cheeky caption that read, "This didn’t age well 🤪🥰."

In addition to TikTok, Valerie Bertinelli took to Instagram to highlight the happy space she finds herself in currently. She shared a radiant photo of herself in a cream-colored blazer with a heartfelt caption expressing her joy and gratitude toward her fans for their unwavering support through her transformative journey.

"Thank you all for staying on this ride with me. Sticking with me through the tears to get to the joy on the other side. XO ♥️🥰," she lovingly expressed.

From past and present revelations, Bertinelli's story paints a narrative of self-discovery, growth, and renewed love. It's a reminder that happiness can emerge from the least expected places, encouraging us all to remain open to the possibilities that life holds.

Bertinelli's new relationship has come at a time when she has done a multitude of inner work to reach a place where she no longer feels she has to guard her heart. We have previously reported on the hardships she faced during her relationship with Vitale.

She had previously opened up about the trauma she experienced in the past. On this, Bertinelli shared how she was mistreated and how she endured emotional abuse from Vitale.

She also mentioned that the day of the divorce was one of the best days of her life, speaking frankly about her own situation with Vitale.

On February 1, 2023, Bertinelli shared a clip on Instagram of herself lip-syncing over an audio clip. In the video, Bertinelli asked herself why she let her ex stay after "finding the texts." She responds to her own question, saying, "I don't know."

The clip and the caption stem from Bertinelli finding derogatory texts about her on her ex-husband's phone. The TV personality opened up about the texts, saying he often wrote demeaning things about her, and even after she found them, she stayed with him. Now, she finally realized it was time to move on.

The Instagram video of Valerie Bertinelli questioning herself on why she allowed her ex to remain in her life signified a turn for the TV chef. She opened up about her recovery after separating from and divorcing Vitale, sharing her healing methods and saying she finds therapy extremely helpful.

In that same video, she revealed the nature of the "texts," saying her ex often called her "fat" and criticized her figure. She also mentioned how he would project his own insecurities onto her but admitted she willingly stepped into that role. Now, she has decided to focus on what she needs.

After posting the Instagram video, followers responded with mixed reactions. Many supported her and praised her for standing up for herself and moving on. One user said they thought her ex was nice but realized, "I was really wrong!" Another user remarked, "You need to say out loud what happened and what he did."

Another user encouraged her to move on and insisted, "You're better than that." However, not everyone was as thrilled about her coming to terms with her trauma. Another user commented, "Always having problems. Go get help."

After a tumultuous relationship with her ex, Bertinelli's relationship with Goodnough was confirmed. In addition to finally revealing his identity, Goodnough confirmed their relationship via a social media post linked to his blog.

Goodnough aka The Hoarse Whisperer, shared in his blog, "The rumor is true. Valerie and I are together and have been for a while now. She was the person I was referring to in “Some Personal… News?” and in my last post (“We Interrupt This Interrupted Broadcast”) as well."

He added, "I am Valerie Bertinelli’s boyfriend… and that may well be among the most surreal sentences I’ve ever pecked out. But it’s true… and nothing about our actual relationship seems surreal. It just seems… good… lucky… a gift."

Goodnough, who is from New York, is a Senior Strategy Consultant at Independent, as per his LinkedIn. In the blog post he shared, he admitted that he had to consult with Bertinelli before confirming to the public that the two were in a relationship.

Goodnough and Bertinelli met unexpectedly at a suburban New Jersey Panera. He was enjoying his morning coffee, when he noticed Bertinelli, another familiar face, topping off her dark roast. Despite the unlikely setting and the distance from her home, she frequented the Panera for her morning coffee.

Intrigued by the encounter, the two struck up a conversation over their shared appreciation for coffee and perhaps a hint of mutual admiration. This interaction marked the start of what is now their relationship.

Goodnough noted that sometimes, love has a funny way of finding someone in the most unexpected places. After he shared this story, fans flocked to social media, happy that the two had found love in each other.

An emotional fan, who is happy for Bertinelli, wrote, "I’m not crying you’re crying. Be still my heart ❤️." Another fan commented, "Wait…. Yay! She’s one of my favorites and has been for decades. She’s a good human! ❤️."

Someone else said that now, between Swift and Travis Kelce, Bertinelli and Goodnough were now their, "favorite couple." "!!!!!! Wow," shared another stunned fan. Now that the rumor has been happily confirmed, Goodnough and Bertinelli get to bask in the joys of their relationship publicly.

Brad Pitt

Brad Pitt and Ines de Ramon recently enjoyed a tranquil morning walk along the sandy shores of Santa Barbara. The couple, looking relaxed and in sync, dressed comfortably for the occasion.

Some could not help but notice how de Ramon seemed to echo features of Pitt's famous exes. In particular, discussions flared around her likeness to Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston.

One observer commented, "I can't help but see the uncanny resemblance to both his wives. It's like someone took Angelina and Jennifer and rolled them up together like pie dough."

Meanwhile, another noted, "Looks like a young Angelina," pointing to a specific resemblance. However, opinions varied significantly. Another Facebook user claimed, "She looks nothing like Angelina..not a great pic, but she's missing the cheekbones."

Amid the discussions of physical resemblance, others focused on de Ramon's individuality and the couple's compatibility. "She looks like herself beautiful no comparison to Angie y'all need glasses," a supportive Facebook comment read.

Despite the divided opinions on her resemblance to Pitt's exes, there was a consensus on the couple's happiness. Comments such as "It's good that they are happy together. It doesn't matter if they are together at the same age. I wish them the best," and "He looks better at 60 than most guys look at 38. So it's OK," highlighted public support.

The discourse also touched on deeper aspects of their bond, with fans appreciating de Ramon for her authenticity. Some shared, "Now he has someone who fights FOR him," and "Ines is the real deal. Not a gold digger or needs fame. Yes, they appear to have much in common. I hope it works out!"

The varied reactions underscore the public's fascination with Pitt's personal life. They continue to support Pitt's quest for happiness while watching from afar.

During their beach outing, the duo donned harmonious white outfits. This added a touch of elegance to their casual stroll. Pitt dressed comfortably in a white inner shirt and a loosely buttoned polo. He paired it with cream pants that complemented the coastal vibe. He also wore orange sunglasses and had a beverage in hand, suggesting a laid-back day ahead.

Meanwhile, de Ramon matched Pitt's serene style. She wore a white flowy sundress with a daring thigh-high slit. She completed her beach attire with a sleeveless green puffer jacket and white sneakers.

As they walked along the beach, their interaction was affectionate and intimate. Pitt often wrapped his arm around de Ramon, pulling her close. Their two dogs added to the idyllic scene, energetically running along the shoreline. The couple appeared to be in high spirits. This was notable with frequently engaged conversation while enjoying their warm beverages.

The celebrity sighting comes amidst a protracted legal battle with Pitt's ex-wife, Jolie. The conflict centers on the control and terms of a $500 million winery purchased during their marriage.

The winery, acquired in 2008, became the focal point of the dispute since Jolie filed for divorce in 2016. The legal struggle has spanned courts with both parties asserting their rights and grievances.

Previously, Jolie revealed that Pitt coerced her into signing an expansive non-disclosure agreement. The move was supposedly for a winery-related deal. However, Jolie claimed the NDA was an attempt to prevent her from speaking about allegations of Pitt's abusive behavior.

This includes an incident on a flight from France to California in September 2016. Jolie cited this as a significant turning point in their relationship.

According to Jolie, the proposed NDA covered matters related to the Miraval deal. Still, it extended to Pitt’s personal misconduct. She contended that the agreement was unfairly onerous and designed to silence her.

When negotiations over the NDA faltered, Jolie opted to sell her shares of the winery to a subsidiary of the Stoli Group. This was a move Pitt alleged was done unfairly and without his consent.

In response, Pitt's legal team filed documents in LA Superior Court demanding that Jolie disclose other NDAs. These include contracts that she has signed with third parties. Pitt’s attorneys argued that these documents are essential to demonstrate whether the NDA was indeed a dealbreaker for Jolie.

They asserted that understanding her history with other NDAs is crucial to assessing her stance on the one proposed by Pitt. Jolie’s recent filings have pushed back against this demand. They stated that forcing the actress to reveal details of nearly two decades of contractual relationships is an invasion of privacy for both her and the third-party entities involved.

Her lawyers argued that this move by Pitt is another form of abuse. In particular, aiming to discredit and humiliate Jolie in the court proceedings. The legal documents also emphasized that the NDAs with third parties, which mostly relate to employment and compensation, are irrelevant to the case. Needed documents should focus solely on the specifics of the Miraval transaction.

Like Pitt, Ines de Ramon has also experienced the complexities of a public divorce. Before her relationship with Pitt, she was married to "Vampire Diaries" star Paul Wesley. Their marriage began in 2019. However, it came to a close with the finalization of their divorce earlier this year.

The divorce proceedings between de Ramon and Wesley were documented in Los Angeles County Superior Court. In addition, the official signing of the divorce papers occurred on February 23.

The documents state that the couple agreed on the division of property and other marital rights through a written agreement. A significant aspect of their divorce was de Ramon’s decision to revert to her maiden name.

Their separation was handled with a level of amicability. Both de Ramon and Wesley waived their rights to spousal support. This indicated a mutual understanding and respectful end to their marital relationship.

Wesley’s representative announced their separation, stating that the couple had mutually agreed to separate about five months before the official filing, around April 2022, due to irreconcilable differences.

This backdrop of personal changes for de Ramon sets a parallel to Pitt’s own ongoing divorce saga, highlighting their shared experiences of navigating breakups under the public eye.

Despite the turmoil surrounding their relationship, the couple remains solid. De Ramon is undeterred by public opinion, choosing instead to focus on her personal growth and career.

We previously reported that de Ramon stepped into the spotlight with a new modeling job. Although she has a full-time job, she recently posed for a clothing campaign.

Ines de Ramon recently posed for Uter Official, a fashion brand that focuses on unisex, silk clothing. The brand's clothes are designed in Los Angeles by Philippe Uter. De Ramon showcased their latest Spring/Summer collection, bringing her unique style to the campaign. However, she has another job when she is not modeling and has a full life with Pitt.

The photoshoot took place outdoors, where de Ramon sat on a sun lounger wearing an unbuttoned shirt with a newspaper on her lap. She also wore a vibrant orange hoodie in two other photos.

In one, she lay on her side and looked straight at the camera. In another, she gazed up at the sky. More photos on Uter's official website show de Ramon by a pool and standing in a stylish blue outfit.

De Ramon is not only a model but also a businesswoman. She is the vice president at Anita Ko Jewelry, where she helps lead the company. Besides her work in fashion and jewelry, de Ramon has a personal life that many people talk about.

She has been with Brad Pitt for almost two years. De Ramon often wears a necklace with a "B" pendant, which stands for Brad. The couple now live together in Pitt's house in Los Angeles with those close to them saying they are happy and in love.

The couple first sparked rumors of a romantic connection in November 2022, when they were seen together at a Bono concert in Los Angeles. At that time, their romantic relationship was not confirmed. They were also in the company of Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber during the concert.

However, by the holiday season, speculations of their dating began to circulate widely. Their relationship eventually blossomed into a full-fledged romance that they did not hide but kept private.

In December 2023, the couple was seen enjoying a low-key celebration in Paris for Pitt's 60th birthday. Despite their preference for privacy, the two couldn't escape public attention during this intimate celebration.

Pitt was the picture of relaxed elegance, stepping out in casual chic attire, his ensemble rounded off with aviator sunglasses. By his side, de Ramon exuded effortless style, her fashion choices adding a touch of understated glamour to the day's festivities.

Their activities included an evening at the Théâtre du Châtelet to enjoy the melodies of Asaf Avidan and the delivery of '60' balloons, hinting at the thoughtful planning behind the celebration.

Pitt is a well-known actor who has starred in many films and has been awarded an Oscar. Pitt has recently starred in movies like "Bullet Train" and "Babylon." He also has new movies coming soon, including one with costar George Clooney.

Meanwhile, De Ramon is making a name for herself in the modeling world while also fostering her relationship with Pitt. Her work with Uter Official and her role at Anita Ko Jewelry show her diverse talents. At the same time, her relationship with Pitt is growing stronger as they share their lives together.

Gavin Rossdale

Gavin Rossdale recently made headlines for his romantic escapades and the striking resemblance his new girlfriend has to his ex-wife, Gwen Stefani. During a getaway to Cabo San Lucas, Rossdale and his girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, were seen engaging in public displays of affection. This prompted a wave of double takes and buzzing social media commentary.

Xheneti is an Albanian singer and seemed to fully embrace their vacation spirit. Photographs obtained by Page Six show the couple in various moments of intimacy and leisure. Xheneti, embodying a casual yet striking presence, wrapped her arms around Rossdale from behind as he comfortably sat in a chair.

In another tender moment, she gave him a gentle kiss on the cheek, an image that Rossdale appeared to relish as he smiled, busily engaged with his phone.

Rossdale opted for a laid-back look, donning a black tank top paired with army fatigue swim shorts. Xheneti sported a black bikini complemented by distressed jean shorts, her blonde hair neatly pulled back with a stylish black headband. This made her red lipstick a standout feature against her minimalist ensemble.

The visual similarity between Xheneti and Stefani was undeniable and became a central point of discussion among observers. Xheneti's choice of a bold red lip, platinum blonde hair, and a fashion-forward ensemble closely mirrored Stefani's iconic style.

The public's reaction to this resemblance was a mix of amusement and bewilderment. Many fans turned to social media to express their thoughts. Comments flooded in, with one fan exclaiming, "you're telling me that's not Gwen Stefani?!" and another adding, "This is soooooo bizarre!!!"

The sentiment that Rossdale might still harbor feelings for Stefani was implied by remarks like, "tell me you still love Gwen without telling me you still love Gwen 💯."

Additional comments underscored the confusion and intrigue, with fans saying, "For a minute there I thought Gwen ditched Blake" and "I was sitting here thinking...I thought she was with Blake Shelton... 😳😳😳". Another agreed, saying "I was so confused it looks exactly like her." One fan commented, "That's not Gwen? Wow that's creepy." Another joked, "That is the winner of doppelgängers."

As Rossdale finds companionship with Xheneti, the visual parallels to his previous marriage with Stefani invite a mixture of curiosity and scrutiny from the public. Although these photos gained significant public attention, it is not the first time the pair has been spotted together. We recently reported that they made their red carpet-debut together in April.

Rossdale and Xheneti looked perfect in each other's arms as they attended the iHeartRadio Music Awards. The pair's red carpet debut sparked numerous reactions online.

The "Little Things" singer shared a series of pictures on Instagram from the event, captioning, "Fun night in hollywood for the @iheartradio awards! Saw some good friends. Watched some Excellent Performances. Lots of good music."

One photo that particularly caught peoples' attention was of Rossdale with Xheneti in his arms. Xheneti dazzled in a one-shoulder, light blue chiffon dress. She was wearing the Wave Dress by Aliona Kononova, a designer from Los Angeles with Moldavian roots.

Xheneti accessorized her outfit with blue sunglasses and styled her blonde hair in a high bun with two face-framing tendrils. Meahwile, Rossdale complemented her in a black jacket, matching trousers, and a yellow T-shirt underneath. He completed the smart and casual look with black sneakers.

Fans commented on the couple's magnificent appearance. A fan gushed. "The last photo 😍😍😍 Gorgeous couple🙌🏻, while another inquired, "Who's the pretty lady?? She should smile." "Glad you had fun G!!! Happy you found #xhoanaxheneti she's beautiful 🤩 ❤," an excited fan noted.

Online users were amazed by Rossdale's new girlfriend's beauty. "Stunning dress 🔥," a user said. "It looks so great on her! 👏❤," another user concurred.

Rossdale and Stefani parted ways in 2015. The exes had tied the knot in 2002 and share three kids, Kingston, Zuma, and Apollo. The "Comedown" singer never thought he would get divorced, as his parents were both married three times each. Still, Rossdale doesn't sit in regret, looking at how his marriage to Stefani ended.

He only expressed regret about the diminished connection with Stefani, "The biggest thing would be, sometimes I wish that, that, when you see the kids, that sometimes there's a loss…It'd be nice if there was a sort of more of a connection with the person who made them with me."

Rossdale lamented the lack of a closer relationship with the mother of his children and the reality of his kids growing up in a broken household. However, the 58-year-old appears to be happy and in love in his recent photos with his new girlfriend.

While he is in a new relationship, Rossdale and Stefani still co-parent their children. The pair have managed their post-divorce relationship with a focus on their three sons.

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."

Rossdale himself has spoken about the importance of putting the children first, emphasizing how their shared parenting approach allows their kids to experience "two opposing ways of life."

“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, Stefani assured the public that almost nobody knows the specifics about what happened between her and 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 Xheneti, it remains to be seen if the resemblances in their appearances with Stefani will mirror the similarities in their love stories.
