People are confronted by seeing Gavin Rossdale enjoying a beach day with his girlfriend Xhoana X, a dead-ringer for his ex-wife Gwen Stefani, but isn’t that just typical?
Gavin, the frontman for the band Bush, shares three children with his ex-wife, Gwen, a solo artist and lead singer of No Doubt.
The pair split after twenty years together in 2015, and since then, Gwen has moved on with Gavin’s polar opposite country star, Blake Shelton.
Gavin is British, and his whole look is “I’m too cool to be here” with tight pants and an indie sleaze vibe.
Meanwhile, Blake is a burly country boy from Oklahoma who sings songs using honey bees as a metaphor and can only be described as someone who doesn’t really care about fashion or looking cool.
Blake’s always in the same version of one outfit. He’ll wear a plaid oversized shirt and pair it with straight-leg jeans.
Gwen’s gone for the complete opposite in her new beau. Meanwhile, Gavin’s found himself someone that looks like the younger version of his ex. She even has the same bleached blonde hair and similar cut.
Generally, men often go for looks, and women go for personalities.
Many men have physical types.
Who hasn’t let out an amused smile when you’ve seen your mate bring a new girl to the pub who looks comically like his ex-girlfriend?
In the celebrity world, it happens all the time; Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder ended things with his co-star Nina Dobrev only to end up with Twilight actor Nikki Reed, who looks like she could be Nina’s sister.
Meanwhile, Nina’s dating Ian’s physical opposite, Ian was all dark, handsome and mysterious. Now she’s dating the goofy and red-headed Olympian Shawn White.
Actor Ryan Phillippe split with America’s sweetheart Reese Witherspoon in 2006 only to start dating Abbie Cornish, another petite blonde.
Reese dated Ryan’s opposite, she went from being married to a pretty boy blonde actor to dating bald talent agent Jim Toth.
Point made right?
People online are quite stunned that Gavin’s gone for someone who could pass as a Gwen impersonator.
“Gavin Rossdale went and got himself an off-brand Gwen Stefani. He should have appreciated the real one when he had her,” one wrote.
“Gavin Rossdale’s new girlfriend is literally a clone of Gwen Stefani,” one wrote.
“He really went looking for someone cosplaying as her,” another observed.
Judgement aside. Gavin’s not doing anything wrong, but he certainly has revealed a pretty undeniable truth.
Lots of men have physical types and even a failed marriage won’t put them off.
