In his 2020 CR Fashion Book interview, Lil Nas X revealed that he was (sort of) in a relationship. "I'm dating someone right now," he said. "We're not in a relationship yet, but it's been on and off for the past few months." Still, he talked about possibly making things official. "I'm maybe going to try to go steady this time." Though he never revealed the guy's identity, fans didn't take long to connect the dots.
In September, the rapper unveiled the video for "That's What I Want." In the steamy clip, Lil Nas X can be seen playing a football star who has a secret relationship with one of his fellow players, played by Colombian model Yai Ariza. Their on-screen chemistry was so undeniable that some started wondering if they were dating IRL.
In a recent interview with SiriusXM, hosts Tony Fly and Symon asked Lil Nas X if Ariza was indeed his boyfriend. "We were dating and we're still on very good terms," he revealed. Though things have cooled off for now, he said that they might date again. "I love him, he's amazing," he admitted. "I just wanted to, like, kind of focus on my music right now." He even described Ariza as "literally the best person I've ever dated." During another interview, Lil Nas X seemed to describe Ariza as "the one." Scroll on for all the details.
