It’s over for YG and Saweetie. The hip-hop stars have reportedly ended their relationship after almost a year of dating

According to The Shade Room, the couple mutually agreed to go their separate ways and that there is no bad blood between them.

Sources close to the pair told The Shade Room that they will remain friends and that the split was amicable.

The reason for the breakup is not clear, but some speculate that the two rappers are focusing on their careers. 

YG and Saweetie first sparked romance rumors in April 2023, when they were seen hanging out at Coachella.

A month later, they confirmed their relationship by posting photos of their vacation in Mexico, where they were spotted kissing in a pool.

However, neither of them have ever spoken publicly about their relationship, preferring to keep it private.

They have also not addressed the breakup news on their social media accounts.

Fans of the couple have expressed their sadness and shock over the split, with some hoping that they will get back together. Others have praised them for handling the breakup maturely and respectfully. 

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco dating?

Meanwhile, Benny Blanco has been a consistent partner for Selena Gomez this awards season, most notably joining her at the 2024 Primetime Emmys.

The duo remained by one another’s sides for the duration of the event, as seen by several images and videos from the evening. Blanco did not accompany the Rare Beauty creator for images on the red carpet, where she displayed her gorgeous Oscar de la Renta gown decorated with over 450,000 paillettes.

He did, however, kiss her before separating away in front of the cameras, with the two subsequently rejoining to take their seats for the ceremony.
