Reneé Rapp Reportedly Dating Towa Bird, Break up with Alissa Carrington
“Handsy all night, dancing together.”
Openly bisexual singer Reneé Rapp is reportedly dating Towa Bird!
As per reports, Rapp and Bird, who identifies as queer, have been in a romantic relationship for months after ending their relationship with their respective now-former partners.
Rumors of Rapp and Bird dating emerged in late 2023 after the latter joined Rapp as the opening act during her Snow Hard Feelings Tour. The tour was announced in June 2023 and began on September 15, 2023.
By December 2023, rumors of Rapp and Bird dating were already flying across social media. An insider has now revealed to DeuxMoi – an Instagram-based gossip and news media – that they are more than friends.
DeuxMoi was tipped off about Rapp getting cozy with Bird at her 24th birthday party on January 10, 2024. This info was later shared by DeuxMoi via their Instagram story as a part of their weekly celeb sighting segment.
The anonymous source mentioned they were at Joyface, a New York-based restaurant, on January 10, where they saw Rapp celebrating her birthday with Bird and her other friends. They mentioned that Rapp and Birds were handsy all night and dancing together.
They had written, “Anon please: I was at joyface last night with Renee Rapp celebrating her bday and her and towa bird are def dating or at least look like it. Handsy all night, dancing together.” “They’re both such sweeties. Took pictures with people,” they added.
A couple of days before, on January 8, the rumored couple was seen together as they sat next to each other at the Mean Girls after-party in New York City. Mean Girls is a reboot of the 2004 film of the same name. In the 2024 version, Rapp plays the role of Regina George.
Coming back to Rapp and Bird’s reported romance, it has sent fans into a frenzy, with many claiming Rapp and Bird began dating after they ended their relationship with their respective girlfriends.

For instance, when one fan wondered if Rapp was no longer dating her girlfriend, Alissa Carrington, another replied, “She hasn’t been for months now.” “She is now with someone else who was a touring member of her band, Towa Bird,” they added.
Later, another Twitter user jumped into the conversation and claimed Bird had a partner before she began dating Rapp. They tweeted, “Towa Bird had a girlfriend too. They both ended it with their partners and have been seeing each other since.”
Likewise, when another curious wrote, “I thought she was still with her girlfriend?” another chimed in and said, “I don’t follow her too closely but I’ve seen her stans pretty sure they broke up at some point during the tour? They hadn’t been around at all and well… towa has been.”
Speaking of tours, Bird recently opened up about her experience opening for Rapp. Bird mentioned that it was an incredible privilege to be able to open for Rapp and to play for her huge fanbase at an early point in her career.

“I’m still a baby girl. I only have four songs out. And we are playing rooms up to 7k capacity. So wild! Also, the hangs are absolutely immense. Top quality people. Unfortunately, Reneé is the best,” Bird concluded her statement.
As of this writing, neither Rapp nor Bird have confirmed the nature of their relationship. Bird was previously in a long-term relationship with her girlfriend, Liv Solomon. During her interview with NME, it was mentioned that they were in a long-distance relationship.
Bird and Solomon – who lives in New York – met through Instagram and had been dating for two and a half years as of November 2023. “She is literally one of the coolest people I’ve ever met,” Bird gushed at the time.

“She’s so funny and incredible and kind. Even though we have this tough context right now, I just don’t see myself being with anyone else in the way that we are together. I’m absolutely down to sacrifice it for her, you know?” she added to her statement.
Fast forward to January 2024, Bird is rumored to be dating Rapp. It currently remains unknown if and why Bird decided to break up with Solomon, as she was full of praise for her long-distance girlfriend just a few months ago.
Rapp’s dating life is also the same. As mentioned earlier, Rapp was dating TikTok star Alissa Carrington, aka Alissa Butt. They sparked dating rumors in January 2023 and hard-launched their relationship in August 2023 via a TikTok video.
In the video, the actress stated that she found someone who she really loved, and the camera then transitioned to her lying on top of Carrington. In the same month, Rapp even opened up to The Cut about being in a queer relationship.
The singer even discussed finding a partner she loved and felt safe and comfortable with during her August 2023 interview with People Magazine. Then again, Rapp is now reportedly dating Bird. For now, fans have to wait and see if the parties involved clarify the situation.

The Bachelor’s Aly Jacobs Gets Engaged to Longtime Boyfriend
The duo has been dating since early 2023.
Congratulations to Alyssa Danielle Jacobs, also known as Aly Jacobs, who recently got engaged to her longtime boyfriend, whose identity is yet to be revealed.
The 28-year-old former contestant of The Bachelor revealed her engagement to her boyfriend in a romantic Instagram post on Monday, August 5, 2024. She shared a series of pictures alongside her future husband while flaunting her engagement ring.
In the first picture, she was seen sitting in her fiance’s lap, as her partner delivered a sweet kiss on her cheeks. Jacobs seemed to be donning a red outfit; however, it isn’t clear as she had covered herself with her fiance’s coat.
On the other hand, her mystery fiance wore a white shirt with a navy blue suit. The second picture showed the newly engaged couple passionately kissing each other on the lips, as Jacobs upheld her hand to flaunt her stunning diamond engagement ring.

Similarly, the third and last picture she added was a selfie her now-fiance took on their first date at Bones Restaurant in Atlanta. To accompany those memorable images, she wrote, “from first dates to forever, the easiest yes.”
Moments after she made the big engagement announcement, her Instagram post was filled with congratulatory messages from friends and well-wishers. For instance, one Instagram user and a friend of the couple wrote, “I knew it!! Congrats, Aly!! So happy for you two.”
“OMG!!! Yay Aly!! You deserve it all. So happy for you!” wrote another friend of the former Bachelor contestant, with one Instagram user following up with, “Congratulations!!! Such an incredible couple, so so happy for y’all!”

Likewise, one Instagram user commented, “Over the moon elated for you both!!! So happy you found your person, and above all, to see you receive the love you are so worthy and deserving of. Congratulations lovey!!!”
Jacobs and her boyfriend-turned-fiance officially began dating on February 3, 2023. However, the exact details of how they met as well as all the details about her future husband currently remains unknown, as the reality star prefers to keep them under the limelight.
That said, the first time she featured her then-boyfriend on her Instagram handle was on June 21, 2023. She shared a series of pictures with her partner from their vacation in Amelia Island and captioned it by writing, “keeping this one to myself.”
Since then, she has frequently featured her boyfriend on her social media handles. In December 2023, they spent Christmas together, and a couple of months later, on February 3, 2024, they marked their first dating anniversary.
Fast forward to August 2024, Jacobs and her partner have taken a big step in their relationship and gotten engaged. Once again, congratulations to the love birds!

Jenn Tran Responds to Hurtful Racist Message She Received over Instagram
“You’ll have to try a little harder.”
Jenn Tran, the first Asian American Bachelorette, recently addressed a racist message she received, expressing her dismay and resilience. This incident highlights the ongoing challenges of racism and the importance of standing against hate.
As The Bachelorette Season 21 – featuring Tran – continues to air weekly, Tran has been taking to her Instagram handle to bond with her fans, by asking them to send her which Taylor Swift song they believe applies to that week’s episode.
After going through all the suggestions, she picks one and officially names the one song as the “song of the week” after the episode airs. Some of Swift’s songs that have been picked during the past few weeks are ‘Sparks Fly,’ ‘Karma,’ ‘State of Grace,’ and ‘Jump Then Fall.’
On Monday, August 5, 2024, the fifth episode of The Bachelorette Season 21 aired, and as custom, Tran took to her Instagram story to ask her fans which Taylor Swift song applies to this week’s episode. However, one particular response wasn’t what Tran was expecting.

It’s because that response was targeted toward Tran’s ethnicity. This hateful and racist response targeted the reality star’s Asian roots, mentioning the shape of her eyes and her ability to “see” if they are “barely open.”
Tran immediately decided to shut down this racist message and clapped back via her Instagram story. First, she wrote, “First of all, not on Taylor Swift song day!!! How rude!” She then followed up with, “Second of all, if you’re gonna make a racist comment to hurt me, you’ll have to try a little harder than with something I’ve been hearing since I was a kid.”
Despite the hurtful message, she remains focused on her journey as the Bachelorette. She continues to approach her role with positivity and determination, demonstrating resilience in the face of adversity.
As the first Asian American Bachelorette, Tran has faced unique pressures and responsibilities. In an earlier interview with Bachelor Nation, she discussed the significance of her role, expressing her desire to be a positive role model.
In the interview, she shared her thoughts on the pressures of being the first Asian American Bachelorette. She acknowledged the weight of expectations but emphasized her commitment to staying true to herself and her story. Jenn expressed gratitude for the opportunity to represent her ethnicity and inspire others.
She stated, “Of course I feel pressure. A lot of it actually comes from me wanting to be a good role model and do it ‘right,’ whatever that means. At the end of the day, I tell myself that it’s just about being myself and telling my story the best that I can.”
Her journey as the Bachelorette is not only about finding love but also about breaking barriers and promoting inclusivity. Her grace and strength continue to inspire many, and her stance against racism sets a powerful example for her audience and beyond.

Shanae Ankney and Future Husband Nate Ebner Celebrate Second Anniversary
Congratulations to the two!
Shanae Ankney is relishing all the days before she officially becomes a wife to her boyfriend-turned-fiance Nate Ebner.
One such day was Ankney and Ebner’s second dating anniversary. On Tuesday, July 30, 2024, the Bachelor in Paradise alum took to her Instagram handle to mark the special occasion.
She posted a PDA-filled picture of herself and her partner, where they were sweetly kissing each other. The image was taken on the sidewalk, in front of what seems to be a small restaurant or a diner.
It means that the love birds went to get some alone time and celebrate their special milestone. Alongside the picture, she wrote a sweet caption, reading, “Love is spelled T-I-M-E. Happy two years my love. I can’t wait to share your last name.”
Some moments later, friends and well-wishers took to the comment section to pour congratulatory messages. One Instagram user wrote, “You were our favorite ever from the bachelor franchise, sooo happy to see you found your happily ever after!!!”
“So happy for y’all. May God bless you and your little family,” wrote another Instagram user. Similarly, a friend of the engaged duo commented, “Yay!!! Can’t wait to hear all about it!!”
Likewise, one doubter, who didn’t believe Ankney and Ebner’s relationship would last this long, took to the comment section and wrote, “I can’t believe it lasted this long. I was wrong. I thought he would leave within 3 months.”
Well, while there might have been some doubts about Ankney and her boyfriend’s relationship during its initial phase, those doubts went away as their bond strengthened. One of the main reasons behind their relationship’s strength was when they welcomed a baby.
Speaking from the start, the 32-year-old Ankney – whose birth name is Shanae Irene Ankney – officially began dating Ebner on July 30, 2022. However, she initially kept their relationship a secret and also didn’t feature him on her socials.

On November 11, 2022, she soft-launched her relationship with the former NFL player. She had posted the same picture as the one in her second dating anniversary post, except only Ebner’s arm was visible in the 2022 Instagram post.
On April 10, 2023, she officially hard-launched their relationship via Instagram. Less than a year later, on October 23, 2023, Ankney took to her Instagram handle to announce that she was pregnant with a baby girl and her due date was April 2024.
On April 11, 2024, she gave birth to an adorable daughter, whom the couple named Maven Jane. She publicly announced the good news on April 15, captioning her post, “Maven Jane 🤍 4•11•2024 🤍 you were worth the wait my sweet girl.”
A month after welcoming their baby girl, the boyfriend-girlfriend duo got engaged. On May 16, 2024, The Bachelor alum revealed that Ebner went down on his knee and proposed to her, to which she gladly accepted.

She shared a picture of her holding her baby girl, while flaunting her engagement ring, and wrote, “I can’t wait to do it all with you Nate, you make me the happiest girl alive. Here’s to FOREVER. I love you!”
As mentioned earlier, Ankney and her partner have been together for a little over two years. In the time they have spent together, they have welcomed a baby and gotten engaged. And the wedding bells might also be ringing soon. We wish the couple nothing but the best!
