Gavin Rossdale and his musician girlfriend, Xhoana Xheneti, are soaking up the sun on a PDA-filled vacation together.
In a photo obtained by ET, the couple cozies up to one another while enjoying a romantic getaway in Mexico. Xheneti, also known as Xhoana X, cuddles up against the 58-year-old Bush frontman's back before they head to the sun-soaked beaches of Cabo.
The 35-year-old singer shows off her figure in a black bikini and distressed jean shorts. Xheneti accessorizes her casual outfit with a black headband holding back her blonde locks and a bright red lip.
Rossdale is equally as casual in a black tank top and cameo swim shorts.
While Rossdale recently went Instagram official with Xheneti, sharing a photo with the Albanian-born musician on the social media platform, the father of four has been making appearances on Xheneti's Instagram account since October 2023.
"Hey finally got to have a birthday dinner with my girl @xhoana_x here's to a year filled with magic for you 🖤," Rossdale captioned the Instagram post featuring him and Xheneti in March.
Xheneti took to the comments to thank her beau, writing, "Awee ❤️🔥🥰 thank you baby 😚🤗"
A month later, the pair made their red carpet debut at the iHeartRadio Music Awards together in April. Rossdale posted a gallery featuring several photos of him at the annual awards event, including a photo of him and Xheneti on the carpet together.
"Fun night in hollywood for the @iheartradio awards! Saw some good friends. Watched some Excellent Performances. Lots of good music . @justintimberlake !!! Go @greenday," he captioned the carousel of photos.

Fans have been vocal about the similarities between Xheneti and Rossdale's ex-wife, Gwen Stefani. Not only are the two women blonde bombshells that love sporting a bold red lip, but they're also musicians with a comparable aesthetic.
Rossdale and 54-year-old Stefani first met in 1995 and tied the knot in 2002. They announced their split in 2015 amid rumors that Rossdale had been unfaithful to Stefani. The former couple shares sons Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10. Rossdale is also dad to 35-year-old daughter Daisy Lowe from a previous relationship with Pearl Lowe.
Rossdale has kept mostly quiet about his ex and their relationship, but during an episode of the Amy & T.J. podcast with Amy Robach and T.J. Holmes last month, he opened up about his "clearest, simplest shame," which was giving his children a "broken home."
"I never thought I'd ever get divorced. So there's a simple shame in my life," Rossdale explained.
Noting that both of his parents had been married three times, he added that he never wanted his children to have a similar experience to his own.
"I feel bad for my kids, that's it," he said. "I wish I could have found a way to not have that in their lives. It wasn't fun for me to come from a broken home… It can be quite debilitating for kids… the overriding things is you don't want to let your kids down."

Without directly naming Stefani, Rossdale said, "The biggest thing would be when you see the kids that sometimes there's a loss. It'd be nice if there was more of a connection with the person who made them with me."
Stefani remarried singer Blake Shelton in 2021. The No Doubt frontwoman first bonded with the country singer on The Voice when she was splitting up from Rossdale and Shelton was going through a divorce from Miranda Lambert.
"I go to a lot of events where there's 'the other team,' so to speak and I just feel really proud of myself in my consistency as a father. I know in my heart that I'm super consistent," the British musician said, seemingly referencing Stefani and Shelton.
And despite what he described as a "very contentious, hugely emotional, flared-up situation," Rossdale noted that he does his best not to speak about Stefani.
"Less said, soonest mended and I said nothing," he said of the divorce. "I'm handcuffed because I would never want to overly say anything negative about their mom. That's just not right."

Rossdale said he has peace about how things have turned out between him and Stefani.
"I think that there's no accidents in life so you are where you're meant to be. So I don't live in regret," he shared. "Life just unfolds how it should."
Rossdale previously opened up about his unconventional co-parenting style with his ex on an episode of the Not So Hollywood podcast last summer.
"I think you can go one of two ways," Rossdale shared. "You can either do everything together and really co-parent and see how that goes, or you can just parent. And I think we just parent."
"We're really different people," he continued. "I don't think there's much similarity in the way we bring them up, but I think that gives them an incredible perspective to then choose which pieces of those two lives they'd like to inherit and move on with and which part of themselves come out of the whole process."
The musician admitted that he and the "Don't Speak" singer have opposing views when it comes to things, but that will help their kids in the long run.
"Because that's what's important is to give them a wide view of things and we definitely have some particularly opposing views, so I think it'd be really helpful for them to make their own minds as individuals," he shared.
