Tate McRae has sparked a storm of speculation online after beachy boat photos featuring a mystery man surfaced this week. The pop sensation was photographed enjoying a sunny yacht outing in a bikini alongside friends, one of whom caught extra attention. The man, believed to be her bodyguard (though not officially confirmed), was seen in a series of rather close and seemingly intimate poses with the singer, prompting fans to question the nature of their relationship. The photos, released by gossip account DeuxMoi, have fueled rumors that things may be shifting in McRae’s personal life, specifically her highly-watched romance with fellow artist The Kid Laroi.
Where does The Kid Laroi fit into Tate McRae’s latest gossip?
The sighting comes on the heels of growing chatter among fans who’ve been trying to read between the lines of Tate McRae and The Kid Laroi’s relationship. The two officially went public in 2024 and quickly became one of pop music’s most talked-about couples. They’ve walked red carpets together, including their last appearance at the Vanity Fair Oscar party in March, and even subtly referenced their relationship in interviews.

But in recent months, things have gone quiet, at least publicly. The Kid Laroi was notably absent from McRae’s recent birthday bash on July 1st, and the once-regular social media love seems to have slowed. Still, there are signs that all may be well. The Kid Laroi did like Tate’s recent Instagram post, which many fans interpreted as a silent confirmation that the couple is still going strong.
Their last digital interaction was in May when McRae left a playful comment under one of Laroi’s posts, writing, “God I’m good at taking pictures.” Not exactly breakup vibes.
Adding to the mixed signals is Laroi’s glowing praise for Tate in his Elle interview published on June 5. “She’s the hardest working artist I’ve ever met in my entire life,” he said, following it up with, “And I don’t say that because she’s my girlfriend.” He even credited her with improving his fashion sense, saying, “I always ask her for opinions… I’m getting pretty dialed in.”
Just paparazzi angles, or something more? Speculations among fans spark huge gossip
As for the boat photos, there’s also the possibility that the so-called bodyguard was just trying to shield Tate from the paparazzi, and the camera angles simply created an illusion of intimacy. But for now, fans are left to guess, debate, and overanalyze every like, post, and candid shot.
