Victoria Monét is finally spilling the tea on her rumored romance with UK rap king Stormzy. And the way she gushed? We’re blushing for her.
After seven months of whispers and a viral smooch, Victoria Monét has confirmed her romance with UK rapper Stormzy.
While the exact status of their relationship now remains a bit fuzzy, this admission is the first public confirmation we’ve had, and it’s sending ripples through the music world!
Victoria Monét was first spotted with Stormzy in London last October, not long after her public split from John Gaines, with whom she shares a daughter.
The “Alright” singer was encouraged to “spill the tea” during her recent interview with Keke Palmer on her podcast, and Keke, being Keke, hilariously jumped right into it. Keke recounted a conversation with Stormzy at the Met Gala, saying, “I was hanging out with [Stormzy] at the Met Gala, and I said, ‘You know my girl, Victoria.’ He’s like, ‘Yeah, you know, she’s amazing.'”
Monét couldn’t help but blush at the mention. Then she added, with a hint of giddiness, “Yeah, he’s a really special guy. I have so much respect for him, and I got to learn more about him by dating him. We’ll have to talk”.
The clip then skipped forward, and Monét revealed even more. “I feel deeply, so deeply for him,” she said before getting into the viral photo of them smooching at London’s Heathrow Airport last October. Those photos, shared exclusively by The Sun at the time, really set the internet ablaze.
Here’s where it gets a little tricky. While this is the first time Monét has publicly acknowledged their relationship, it’s not entirely clear if they are still dating. The way the Grammy winner spoke about their relationship, seemingly using the past tense, has led some to speculate they might no longer be together. Her quick pivot, telling Keke they’ll “have to talk” more after the cameras cut, further fuels that idea.
Regardless of their current status, this admission from Victoria marks the first official confirmation of their relationship since those initial rumors began swirling. The surprising sighting with Stormzy came just weeks after Monét confirmed her split from longtime partner John Gaines, with whom she shares her three-year-old daughter, Hazel. In their breakup statement, the former couple revealed they had been separated for almost a year, choosing to “be open and address it in hopes to put a period on the question marks for the sake of our healing process.”
So, while we might not know if Victoria Monét and Stormzy are still an item, we now know for sure that their romance was indeed real!
