Hoda Kotb teases Gavin Rossdale for having a “type” with a girl who looks like Gwen Stefani

Even Hoda Kotb thinks Gavin Rossdale’s girlfriend, Xhoana X, bears a striking resemblance to the rocker’s ex-wife, Gwen Stefani.

During Monday’s episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna,” Kotb explained to viewers that she had seen recent photos of frontman Bush and his partner on vacation in Mexico.

She admitted that, like many fans on social media, she thought at first glance that Stefani was actually the woman in the photos.

I thought, “Poor Blake.” [Shelton]’ –– that’s what I thought for one second. They look exactly the same,” Kotb told co-host Jenna Bush Hager, referring to Stefani’s second husband, Blake Shelton.

Bush Hager, 42, shared Kotb’s opinion and agreed that Xhoana X and Stefani look “identical.”

“He has a type,” Kotb, 59, joked about the musician’s taste in women.

Bush Hager then argued that while “most people have a type,” the situation was different because the ladies Rossdale dated “dress the same,” wear “the same red lipstick,” and have the same blonde hairstyle.

“It would be a bit weird – same thing. It’s really interesting,” Kotb said.

Bush Hager then noted that if she were Stefani, she would find the whole situation “flattering” because she would feel like she was the one who “got away.”

Kotb disagreed, reiterating that she thought it would be “very weird” to see her ex dating a doppelganger.

The striking similarities between Stefani and Xhoana X became a hot topic over the weekend after Page Six published photos of the singer’s lookalike, 37, vacationing with Rossdale, 58, in Cabo San Lucas.

Rossdale and Xhoana X – whose legal name is Xhoana Xheneti – – looked cozy as they hugged and kissed during their romantic getaway.

The couple started dating in 2023, and in March 2024, they appeared on Instagram.

Rossdale and Stefani, 54, were previously married from 2002 to 2016 and have three children together: Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10.

The “Rich Girl” singer tied the knot with Shelton, 47, in 2021 after meeting on “The Voice” in 2015.
