After months of speculation that had the internet sleuthing like never before, rap queen Ice Spice and NFL star Sauce Gardner have seemingly confirmed their romance! Their latest Instagram posts are all the evidence we need, and let’s just say the “ship” has officially sailed!
The Bronx-born rap phenom and New York Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner just low-key (but also very high-key) confirmed what fans have been whispering about for months.
In a new carousel of pics posted to Instagram, Ice Spice slid in a photo that has everyone talking: her and Sauce, side by side, all smiles, in what looks suspiciously like a couples’ bathroom selfie. Confirming? Oh, absolutely.
The internet instantly lit up. Twitter timelines filled with screengrabs. TikTokers are already analyzing the bathroom tiles. And the Beyhive-caliber buzz had people saying, “Oh, so this is real now?”
For months, rumors swirled like a NY subway wind gust. Sauce had been spotted in the blurry background of one of Ice Spice’s IG posts earlier this year. Then came the UFC sighting, where the two were caught on the kiss cam—and promptly dodged it like pros. Even UFC president Dana White jumped in, roasting them during the live stream:
“That’s her boyfriend? They’re acting like they don’t even fking know each other.”
While neither star has confirmed their romance with words, the bathroom photo says more than a press release ever could. Ice leans in close. Sauce smiles like he knows what he’s doing. And the whole thing screams soft launch turned hard launch.
It’s not just the romance making headlines, though. Ice Spice is also stepping into what fans are calling her “thick again” era, and she’s owning every inch. After teasing new music with the line, “She got thin, but she went and got thick again,” fans are living for her confident comeback and curves.
With her rap career climbing and Sauce continuing to dominate the NFL (remember, he snatched Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2022), this couple is truly giving power duo without even trying. They’ve managed to keep things under wraps until now. No messy interviews, no paparazzi drama, just vibes.
