According to UsMagazine.com, the celebrity couple shared a romantic meal together earlier this month at Indianapolis’ Iozzo’s Garden of Italy. The Bush frontman and No Doubt singer announced their celebrity divorce in November 2015 after Stefani discovered Rossdale’s longtime affair with their former nanny. “There’s been a lot of pain and sadness. It really teaches you perspective on life. It’s really health, happiness and safety,” the rocker said of his divorce, which was finalized in April 2016.

This celebrity relationship is the first one for Rossdale since his split from Stefani. So how do you know when it’s time to date again  following a break-up? Consider this love advice below:

1. You’ve allowed yourself to heal: There’s no right time to jump into a new relationship after a split. Don’t rush things. Instead, do whatever feels right for you. It’s important to heal your broken heart first. After all, no one wants to be part of a rebound relationship.

3. You’re truly over your ex: It’s normal to have lingering feelings after a break-up. Before you start dating again, do a self-check: How would you react if your ex called you? What if you saw them out with someone new? How do you feel when you see old pictures of the two of you together? If you can handle these situations with grace, you’re ready to move on.
