Here is all you need to know about Xhoana Xheneti, Gavin Rossdale’s new girlfriend

Xhoana Xheneti, an Albanian citizen, was born in the capital city of Tirana on February 27, 1989. She moved to the US as a child and grew up between Los Angeles and New York. Xhoana Xheneti is a polyglot and can speak three languages: Albanian, Italian, and English.

The singer’s music has mostly been described as dark electro-pop, inspired by British trip-hop bands Portishead and Massive Attack. Trip-hop can be described as a psychedelic fusion of electronica and hip-hop combined with slow tempos and an atmospheric sound. It often incorporates elements of jazz, soul, funk, reggae, dub, R&B, and other forms of electronic music.

Xhoana has also worked with the nu-metal band Korn. Her sister, Evis Xheneti, an actress who appeared in The OC, happens to be married to the nu-metal band’s guitarist, Chris Schaffer, and the pair have three children.

The singer has found success and appreciation for her niche. Metal Magazine describes Xhoana Xheneti and her work as,

"The Albanian-born Los Angeles-based dark electro-pop artist Xhoana X has made her captivating darkness her main strength, combining freedom, rebellion, and heroism in a way of understanding music that could well be a ritual charged with symbolism."

Xhoana Xheneti’s last release was the GIRLGUN EP, which featured the songs Girlgun, The Illusion, Save Me, GG Interlude, and Torture. It was released in January 2023.

The Xheneti-Rossdale romance might be new, but they have been “Instagram-official” for a while. While today might be the first time Gavin Rossdale posted a picture of Xhoana Xheneti, the experimental artist has been posting pictures of the couple since January 2024, starting with going to a wedding together.
