Are Tate McRae and The Kid LAROI dating? All signs point to yes. Ever since the beginning of 2024, the Australian and Canadian stars have been sparking dating rumors after being spotted together (and holding hands) multiple times. LAROI seemed to have given fans the confirmation they were waiting for during one of his The First Time tour stops.

Prior to being romantically linked, McRae was in a relationship with fellow Canadian ice hockey player Cole Sillinger. The pair went Instagram official in 2022 and seemingly called it quits in early 2023, with McRae deleting all their pictures together from her social media. LAROI, on the other hand, famously dated TikTok star Katarina Deme since 2020 before wiping all traces of her on his social media in the summer of 2023.

But how did Tate McRae and The Kid LAROI become a thing? Below, take a look at their entire relationship timeline — from VMAs sightings and concert confirmations to Instagram rumors.

Tate McRae and The Kid LAROI went heavy on the PDA — though not of the kissing type, at least not that type of kissing — at the 2024 VMAs. The duo was photographed in the stands together, holding hands and sharing sweet forehead kisses while watching the performers and backstage.

April 14, 2024: The Kid LAROI calls Tate McRae his “girlfriend” during Dublin show

The Kid LAROI seemed to make things official with Tate McRae during a show in Dublin in the middle of the European leg of his The First Time tour. On April 14, the “Stay" singer addressed the crowd, saying: “I need everybody in here to sing this as loud as they can because my girlfriend’s here tonight, and I don’t want to look lame.”

Of course, this could mean anyone, but thankfully, cameras panned out to capture McRae watching the show from the sides of the stage. In case there were any doubts the “Greedy” singer was indeed in attendance, she herself made them all disappear by posting a handful of stories of her POV while at the concert. She also took the time to take some selfies with fans while at the venue.

While LAROI is now off to continue his European tour, which wraps up on April 27, McRae is gearing up to start her own world tour, Think Later, on April 17 in — would you guess it — Dublin, Ireland.
