Musician and Gwen Stefani’s ex-husband, Gavin Rossdale, certainly knows how to turn heads. At 58, he left fans in awe with a recent Instagram post showcasing his impressively toned abs, igniting a frenzy of reactions across the platform.

Another fan added, “Looking fit & fabulous sic]!!” A curious commenter asked, “What’s the ab secret? Hanging leg raises? Nice job,” ending it with a muscle emoji.
It appears that Rossdale’s impressive physique is no accident. In a November 2023 interview with Valet, he shared the secrets behind his fitness and daily routine.
Despite a hectic schedule filled with music, acting, running his clothing brand Sea of Sound, and working on a cooking show, Rossdale prioritizes personal time.
He typically rises early around six in the morning, to enjoy some quiet moments before the day’s rush. His workout routine focuses on sweating out the previous day’s indulgences and preparing for the new day.
Rossdale’s disciplined approach extends to his grooming and daily rituals. He avoids the snooze button, makes his bed every morning, and starts his day with a simple yet essential coffee ritual.
Besides maintaining his dietary choices, he said staying connected with his family is a key component of his morning routine. “[The first person I speak to] is usually my son Apollo when I wake him up for school. If not him, then I usually call my mum in England,” he shared.
Even on show days, he maintains silence to preserve his voice. “Silence is the best for my voice on the days when I’m going to perform. Then warming up is much later in the day. Nobody wants to peak too early,” he said.
In addition to his vocal preparations, he follows a streamlined grooming routine to keep his appearance sharp yet practical. “I’m all about practicality. I never believed in suffering clothing-wise. But I want to look good. If I have an early start, I’ll lay everything out beforehand and make it super easy for myself,” he explained.
Otherwise, he chooses his outfit based on the day’s activities and follows the vibe. Through these habits and his dedication to his personal routine, Rossdale continues to inspire fans and maintain his heartthrob status well into his late fifties. Adding to his appeal is his thriving romantic life.

Last May, he was seen on vacation, packing on the PDA with his new girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, who resembles his ex-wife. During a getaway to Cabo San Lucas in Mexico, Rossdale and 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 bewildered netizen commented, “That’s not Gwen? Wow that’s creepy,” while another joked, “That is the winner of doppelgängers.” Although these photos gained significant public attention, it wasn’t the first time the pair had been spotted together.
As reported on May 6, Gavin Rossdale had already introduced Xheneti to his followers with an Instagram post, which drew enthusiastic reactions from fans.
Later, Rossdale and his girlfriend made their red carpet debut in April at the iHeartRadio Music Awards, looking perfect in each other’s arms. Their red carpet appearance, combined with the Instagram post, confirmed their relationship in the public eye.
With his disciplined lifestyle, enduring appeal, and thriving romantic life, Gavin Rossdale continues to captivate and inspire fans worldwide.
