GAVIN ROSSDALE spent 14 years married to singer Gwen Stefani.
That must mean he feels right at home with his new girlfriend, who is a model called . . . Gwen Singer.

I have heard the Bush frontman and former The Voice coach has been seeing the stunning influencer since April.
And judging by this picture on the left — and the other racy shots she shares with her 1.3million followers — I can see why he was drawn to her.
But it might feel a bit odd for Gavin’s eldest daughter, model Daisy Lowe, 32, because at 26, Gwen is six years younger than her and less than half the age of the 55-year-old rocker.
DROP-DEAD GORGEOUS
A source said: “Gavin and Gwen both find each other hot and they’re having fun together.
“It’s still early days because they have only known each other a few months but it is all going well.
“She is drop-dead gorgeous and has loads of men chasing her but she was really drawn to Gavin, as he was to her.
“They have been spending time together in Los Angeles and seeing how it goes.
“Neither of them is in any rush to make it serious.”
As well as Daisy, whose mum is fashion designer Pearl Lowe, 51, Gavin has three sons with No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani, also 51, who he was with until they separated in 2015.
He also had a year-long romance with German model Sophia Thomalla, 31, which ended in 2018.
She is drop-dead gorgeous and has loads of men chasing her but she was really drawn to Gavin, as he was to her.
His ex-wife remarried this year and is now settled with American singer Blake Shelton, 45, who she got together with in 2015, shortly after they separated but before their divorce had been granted.
Gavin said last year: “I keep getting screwed up and screwed over in all these relationships. I’m not very good at them, I guess.
“I had a divorce, I had a long-term girlfriend — that went to s**t and I don’t have a girlfriend now, even though everyone seems to think I do.
“You get burned by that stuff.
“I don’t know, it may be too difficult to combine being a single dad with the attention required for a beautiful girl. So I don’t know. I’m trying to find my feet on that one. It’s unresolved.”
Looks like he’s hit the jackpot this time.

New album What The Future Holds Pt.2 is out on September 10 and a UK tour starts in November.
Next year they mark 25 years since bursting on to the scene. No one saw them lasting that long.
Ella: There is no filter on album
THEY say good things come to those who wait, and boy, have Ella Henderson fans waited . . .
After eight years the former X Factor contestant will finally release her second album in 2022. And it promises to deliver her most raw and emotional music yet.
In an exclusive chat about the record, Ella – who has just released latest single Risk It All, with House Gospel Choir and Just Kiddin – said: “It is the unfiltered truth of my life. It is a very personal album.
“There are so many life lessons that I have learned from being in this industry and life in general, whether it be love, heartbreak or family.”
Ella wrote a large section of the album at her family home on the piano – the instrument she taught herself to play as a young girl.
She said: “There was this essence of nostalgia and coming back to what I know, and my roots. It helped me come up with the vision.”
After years of battling anxiety and panic attacks following her split from Simon Cowell’s record label Syco, Ella says she now feels confident and strong. She has channelled her feelings into the music.
It is the unfiltered truth of my life. It is a very personal album.
Ella Henderson
She added: “From a personal stance of going through a lot of mental health things and my journey, I feel the more honest I can be in my songs, it makes me stronger and more comfortable.
“I don’t think you can say that you are 100 per cent perfect, as no one is, but I’d say I am in a way better place than I was two years back.
“Having the time to take a step back from everything during lockdown with my family, I re-evaluated everything. I have learned not to worry so much.”
Ella now has a handful of shows to focus on, appearing live for the first time in more than 18 months.
This Sunday she will perform at Manchester Pride, then next month at Devon’s Sheb Fest, followed by the Isle of Wight Festival.

Sharing footage of her workout before her big night out, she said on Instagram: “Guys it is awful. I am sweating.
“To anyone getting their fitness going, just get up early and get it done.”
It’s Top Brum star Tom Cruise
IT may have more canals than Venice, but Birmingham is never going to be considered the most glamorous city in the world.
Though that hasn’t stopped the team behind the Mission: Impossible 7 movie doing their best to give it a makeover.
They are filming in Britain’s second city after Covid made it difficult to travel to the United Arab Emirates to shoot at Abu Dhabi airport, as they had planned.
That meant producers had to get clever – transforming a Tesco Express at Birmingham’s New Street station into a high-end Dior store.
Presumably the movie’s star Tom Cruise hasn’t heard of the £3 meal deal.
A source said: “The makers have splashed thousands on trans-forming parts of the station into the airport. Tom was in the country already, filming a major train stunt in the Peak District, so everything fell into place. You’ve got to admire his work ethic.”
The A-list actor was filming at the station yesterday and on Monday, having been spotted on Saturday at an Indian restaurant in the city, where he ordered a chicken tikka masala twice, because he enjoyed it so much the first time.
Tom had to isolate for two weeks in June after 14 members of the Mission: Impossible team tested positive for Covid.
It followed a furore last December when leaked audio heard him furiously laying down the law to film crew about following Covid guidelines – or they would be “f***ing gone”.
It could have been a train wreck, but things finally seem to be back on track.
Ariana made up
RIHANNA and Kylie Kenner have become dollar billionaires thanks to their lucrative cosmetics companies so I can’t blame Ariana Grande for wanting a piece of the action too.
She appears to be teasing her own brand called R.E.M, also the name of a track on her 2018 album Sweetener.
Billboards have popped up in the US saying “R.E.M. coming soon” while a website, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok and Instagram accounts have been set up with the username r.e.m.beauty.
She has already made a mint putting her name to various perfumes, but this would give her ownership over a beauty brand.
I know plenty who would fork out good money to look like Ariana, so I expect she will make a fortune.

- MILES Kane has enlisted an unlikely collaborator for his new album – Paul O’Grady. Yesterday he put out single Don’t Let It Get You Down, which has a surprising sample of TV star Paul talking. Miles said: “This album was born out of an intense period of self-reflection . . . It has led to what feels to me like a really uplifting album.” The record, which is set to be released on January 21 next year, also includes a collaboration with Corinne Bailey Rae.
- Kanye West is re- rebuilding his childhood home in the middle of a Chicago stadium ahead of yet another listening party tomorrow for his album Donda. Named after his late mother, it will be the third version of the record in five weeks and he is expected to finally release it afterwards. The rapper grew up nearby and the reproduction of his old house is expected to be a piece of performance art for the show. He doesn’t do anything by halves . . .
