It has been noted that the actress has been in relationships, and her last relationship was with Ethan Slater. The pair reportedly ended their relationship in June 2026 after nearly three years together.

Popular singer Shawn Mendes confirms and hard launches his relationship with Bruna Marquezine on August 4.

He hard-launched the relationship while celebrating her birthday as he wrote a loving caption “Feliz aniversário my baby,” Mendes wrote. “You are a light and a mãe in every room you walk into. Not to be tooooo sappy, but you’ve truly changed my life, and I am so, so grateful for you.”

The post marked a major public step for the pair, with fans reacting to the singer’s birthday tribute to Bruna.

A$AP Rocky has spoken about Rihanna’s success and revealed how he feels being in a relationship with someone who is wealthier than him.

The rapper said he has never felt insecure about Rihanna’s achievements, stressing that her success belongs to her and that he is proud of everything she has accomplished.

“My woman [Rihanna] got billions, I got multi-millions. Her success isn’t mine. I am proud of my woman. No one can make me insecure because she is richer than I am. It just doesn’t make sense.”

Many fans reacted positively to his comments, praising his confidence and support for Rihanna’s success.
