In a surprise pairing, Doja Cat and Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn were spotted getting cozy in London, fueling rumors of a budding romance.
The two were seen together at Dingwalls Dancehall in London’s Camden neighborhood, where they were captured on camera sharing an intimate moment. A photo shared by Deuxmoi on Instagram on Sunday, August 18, showed the “Paint the Town Red” rapper, with her signature platinum blonde buzz cut, and Quinn, 30, getting close. The pair was later seen holding hands, with Quinn wrapping an arm around Doja’s shoulder, as they strolled through the London streets.
Neither Doja Cat nor Joseph Quinn has commented on their apparent relationship, but the sighting has ignited speculation, especially considering Doja’s previous interest in the actor. Their public display of affection comes two years after Doja Cat was involved in a viral exchange concerning Quinn, which led to a brief feud with his Stranger Things co-star, Noah Schnapp.
In July 2022, Doja Cat sent a direct message to Schnapp, then 17, asking if he could help her connect with Quinn. Schnapp shared their conversation publicly on his Instagram Story, which Doja later criticized during an Instagram Live, calling it “socially unaware” and “whack.” She acknowledged Schnapp’s youth, saying, “When you’re that young, you make mistakes… I’m trying to be super fair.” The two have since reconciled, with Schnapp apologizing for sharing the private conversation.
Prior to her connection with Quinn, Doja Cat was rumored to be involved with social media personality J. Cyrus, though they never confirmed their relationship. In an August 2023 interview with Harper’s Bazaar, Doja described herself as “possibly a serial dater” but added that she has recently experienced a deeper and more committed love.
“I think I’ve evolved. I’m learning to love myself, so the way that I love other people is very different,” she shared. “I feel like a woman who is coming into her own.”
Whether this new relationship with Joseph Quinn is a casual fling or something more serious remains to be seen, but it’s clear that Doja Cat is embracing this new chapter in her life with confidence and clarity.
