For the longest time, a fascinating pattern has emerged in the workings of human connections, with individuals seemingly drawn to partners resembling their past loves. This prompts us to wonder: are we chasing the echoes of former flames, or is it a case of having a distinct type?
Past flames are often hard to forget, and in a bid to find new love, some find themselves attracted to people who look almost or exactly like their exes. And this doesn’t just reverberate through the corridors of everyday life; it also finds its way into the glamorous lives of celebrities like Katy Perry, Brad Pitt, and Gwen Stefani.
Katy Perry’s Ex and Her Current Beau Bear a Striking Resemblance
Katy Perry’s journey from pop sensation to motherhood has been a media spectacle, captivating audiences with her bold performances and headline-grabbing personal life.
Yet, amidst the whirlwind of chart-topping hits and public romances, her relationship with John Mayer remains a less explored chapter.
The two dated on and off between 2012 and 2014, even duetting on the song “Who You Love” together. They went on to star in its music video, with Katy Perry donning a cowboy hat for the performance.
Still, their dalliance was not without some lows. The lovebirds experienced several breakups over the course of their relationship, including times in August 2012, March 2013, and ultimately in February 2014.
During an interview with Vogue, the interviewer insinuated that the songstress had gotten into a relationship with Mayer as a “classic revenge relationship” after her divorce from her husband. But Perry clarified that she did love Mayor:
“No, not at all. No, I was madly in love with him. I still am madly in love with him.”
Following the end of their romance, Perry met and fell in love with her current partner, Orlando Bloom, after their first encounter at the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony in 2016.
Their initial meeting was quite memorable; they bonded over an In-N-Out burger during an after-party for the awards. Perry recalled how Bloom took a burger from her table, which led to their first interaction. She found the moment both amusing and charming:
“He took it, and I was like, ‘Wait! Who – oh, you’re so hot. Fine, take it!’ And then I saw him at a party, and I was like, ‘How are those onions resting on your molars?’ He’s like, ‘I like you.'”
They went on to get engaged in 2019, and a little over a year later, welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove Bloom. Amidst their personal milestones, an amusing observation surfaced among fans, sparking lighthearted debates and comparisons: Orlando Bloom bears a striking resemblance to Mayer, Perry’s former beau.
Social media buzzed with comments like, “Orlando Bloom looks exactly like John Mayer, lol.” “Why does John Mayer look like an Orlando Bloom clone?” another wondered. A third fan marveled at the uncanny similarity, jesting, “Great, now Orlando Bloom looks like John Mayer… first there was Jared now Orlando.”
Brad Pitt’s New Love is Angelina Jolie’s Copy
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie were a high-profile couple for many years, adopting children and bringing their own into the world. Unfortunately, their marriage ended in a bitter divorce.
Since then, Pitt has been rumored to be dating, but nothing has come of any of the women he was linked with until now. Pitt has reportedly found love in the arms of a woman who was also previously married.

Brad Pitt and jewelry designer Ines de Ramon reportedly spent the actor’s 59th birthday celebration together in December 2022. Just weeks earlier, they were seen attending the Bono concert with Cindy Crawford, Rande Gerber, and Sean Penn. Of their rumored romance then, a source close to the Oscar-winning actor shared:
“Brad is smitten with Ines. They’ve been spending time together as friends and really enjoy each other’s company.”
Pitt’s said relationship with de Ramon comes after two marriages that ended in divorce. Pitt wed Jennifer Aniston in 2000 and divorced her in 2005. He married Angelina Jolie in 2014 after a decade together, then she filed for divorce in 2016, which was finalized in 2019. Pitt shares children Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox, and Vivienne with Jolie.
Since divorce proceedings for Jolie and Pitt began, they have been contentious, with Jolie accusing Pitt of not being a good parent. They are also at war over their joint business ventures. However, Pitt seems to have now found happiness with de Ramon.
Despite being incredibly private, some information about de Ramon has surfaced. According to reports, the brainy beauty speaks three languages, is a jewelry designer, and is a qualified nutritionist. She is currently the vice president of Anita Co Jewelry, where she has worked for the last three years.
Although they have not been a confirmed couple for very long, Pitt and de Ramon have been seen getting cozy often. The second time the couple was seen together was in January this year when they appeared in Cabo, with de Ramon tanning topless as a relaxed Pitt lazed next to her on a sun lounger in a turquoise pool.
Another found it funny that Pitt “divorced Angelina just to date a girl who looks like Angelina,” while another said, “Why does she look like his Ex-wife to me, just without the lips?” Many others agreed that Pitt’s new love has a striking resemblance to his ex.
Gwen Stefani’s Ex’s New Girl Is Her ‘Clone’
Before beloved “No Doubt” vocalist Gwen Stefani found her happily ever after with Country singer Blake Shelton, she was married to Gavin Rossdale, the lead singer of Bush, for 13 years.
Fans were quick with their comments, ranging from amused to confused. “She looks like a younger version of Gwen,” one fan wrote, while another added, “He’s got another Gwen.” “Gwen’s twin,” a user agreed.
Sharp cheekbones? Platinum blond hair? It all checks out when you look at two women side by side. Even their eye shape and iconic up-do hairstyle are the same. “For 2 seconds there, I thought that was Gwen lol. He certainly has a type,” commented a fan.
We can’t blame the fans for not being able to tell those women apart. When you compare them side by side, it’s even more uncanny how similar they look. Despite their age difference, someone might mistake them for sisters or even twins.
Someone might describe it as “having a type,” but Rossdale definitely has a soft spot for singers. His new girlfriend Xhoana is an LA-based singer-songwriter from Albania. After facing the challenges of immigration and adaptation, Xhoana has carved out her own niche in the music industry. However, users were not so happy to see her in the picture.
“I really thought that was Gwen, co-parent style….but then I realized that is a wish version of Gwen…” one commented. With Xhoana on the left and Gwen Stefani on the right, it’s hard to guess who is who.
The resemblance can be seen not only in their looks but also in their styles. With hair updos, bright red lipstick, and bold clothing choices, their similarities almost seem intentional.
It’s easy to understand fans’ confusion, especially since Stefani and Rossdale are still close due to their kids. They’ve publicly shared their co-parenting experiences, so it might as well have been Stefani herself in the picture Rossdale shared, considering they are still in contact.
Shared parenting is happening, but not publicly. Stefani and Rossdale have managed their post-divorce relationship with a focus on their three children: Kingston, 17, Zuma, 15, and Apollo, 10.
Together, they said in a statement, “While the two of us have come to the mutual decision that we will no longer be partners in marriage, we remain partners in parenthood and are committed to jointly raising our three sons in a happy and healthy environment.”
Rossdale has spoken about the importance of putting the children first, emphasizing how their shared parenting approach allows their kids to experience “two opposing ways of life.”
“It really is about putting the children first. That’s how it works, really. I can run my kids autonomously, which is good. When they come around me they know the drills. What’s interesting for them, and what I think is best for my kids, is that they get the chance to see two opposing ways of life—diametrically opposed systems,” he said.
Even though the story is in the past now and the ending seems nice, some mysteries will forever surround the breakup. In an interview, Stefani assured the public that almost nobody knows the specifics about what happened between her and Gavin Rossdale.
The details around their breakup remain unclear, but Rossdale’s new love chapter is now open for all to see. History has a curious way of repeating itself. As the singer dives into a new relationship with Xhoana, it remains to be seen if the resemblances in their appearances with Gwen Stefani will mirror the similarities in their love stories.
