If 2023 was anyone’s year, it was Tate McRae's. The Canadian singer rose from TikTok indie singer to a household name. With her quick singles releases and her 2023 album, Think Later, Tate is a force to be reckoned with. But her love life is an entirely different story.
Until early 2023, Tate was linked to NHL Columbus Blue Jackets player Cole Sillinger. But in May, Tate’s post in her “No Boyfriend, No Problem” t-shirt took over social media as people speculated about her love life. Fast forward to June 2024, and it appears Tate is now romantically involved with non other than The Kid Laroi. Here's everything we know about their relationship thus far.
Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024.
In January 2024, Tate and The Kid Laroi both shared pictures of a gorgeous sunset from a yacht. The pics were clearly taken in the same place, which led to speculation that their vacation together could be a romantic one. Gossip account @Teatoktalk posted the side-by-side with the caption, “Looks like Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi either coincidentally were on two separate yachts that look exactly the same or they were on the same yacht together secretly … Are we here for this duo?!”
In Tate’s carousel summing up her vacation, she posted several pics with friends in Cabo, including the aforementioned sunset pic. She also shared a suggestive mirror selfie wearing a man’s shirt off her shoulders. The Kid even commented with the sunglasses emoji. This could just be friendly interaction and cool fashion, but Instagram sleuths found a picture of The Kid in the same shirt.
Even if they were on vacation together, and even if Tate wore The Kid’s shirt, they’ve been friends for ages according to Tate’s tater tot fans. However, while some did see it as a friendcation, speculation turned when they confirmed their relationship on Tate's 21st birthday (she turned 21 on July 1, 2024).
Not only did The Kid share a photo to his Instagram Stories of the two kissing with the caption "happy 21st birthday you make me better! I love yoooouuu" while tagging Tate, but a few hours later, Tate took to her Instagram Stories to share a clip of The Kid on stage with a crowd singing happy birthday to her. She captioned the clip, "hahahahah this is hilarious." And might we add, sweet?
Tate McRae was previously linked to college football quarterback Sam Hartman.
In November 2023, rumors started spreading that Tate and Notre Dame quarterback Sam Hartman were dating. Anonymous sources have spread information that Tate was spotted on the Notre Dame campus. In addition, celebrity gossip account @deuxmoi has shared information that supports Tate and Sam’s alleged relationship.
“Don’t know how I ended up in this college football lore,” the blind submission said, “but Sam Hartman and his longtime gf are done. Unfollowed each other on socials and all posts are gone. Interesting timing with the Tate McRae rumors?”
To add fuel to the rumor mill, Tate and Sam started following each other on social media in mid-November. In September, Tate confirmed on Sirius XM that she was “single at the moment” but by November that could have easily changed!
Although Tate hasn't publicly spoken about her relationship with The Kid, the picture of them locking lips was all the confirmation fans needed to know they are dating!
