Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi made their relationship Instagram official in July 2024.

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?
