‘Wait’: US Rapper and British actor hold hands

There’s nothing wild about two celebrities dating, but the couple has history.

Rapper Doja Cat has been spotted holding hands with actor Joseph Quinn, proving that shooting your shot can be worth the public embarrassment.

The pair looked loved-up and like they were going to very different events as they held hands and wandered around central London together.

Doja Cat, 28, was wearing a see-through mesh shirt, a low-waisted skirt, and knee-high boots. She looked ready to hop onto a stage.

Meanwhile, Quinn, 30, wore a blue button-up shirt, some dress pants and a sensible shoe. He looked like he was off for a job interview at a bank.

Despite their different styles, the two looked very sweet together and obviously weren’t trying to hide their romance.

The fact they are hanging out together is big news. Sure, there’s nothing wild about two celebrities dating, but the couple has history.

Quinn, best known for his work on the Netflix hit Stranger Things, caught Doja Cat’s eye way back in 2022 — and she was very proactive about it.

The rapper, who was riding the huge success of her single Say So at the time, slipped into his co-star Noah Schnapp’s direct messages, asking if Quinn was single.

She messaged the then 17-year-old and told him to tell Quinn to “HMU” — which means hit me up.

She then added: “Wait, no, does he have a girlfriend?”

Schnapp wrote back, telling her to slide into his direct messages. He then shared Quinn’s social media with the rapper.

Then, in a twist no one saw coming, Schnapp leaked the direct messages she sent him in a now-deleted TikTok.

In the aftermath, Doja Cat roused on him on an Instagram Live and called the behaviour “socially unaware” and “snake s**t” and “weasel” behaviour.

When Quinn was questioned about the direct message drama, he told Entertainment Weekly that the whole thing was surprising.

“That was funny. That whole experience was quite odd, but it’s fantastic. I admire her enormously as an artist.”

Fast-forward to now, and the pair are dating.

Celebrity spotting account Deuxmoi posted a video of the pair walking together in London this week and asked, “How long do we think they’ve been dating?”

People were less concerned with their romantic timeline and far more thrilled to see the pair together.

“I love a girl who goes and gets her man,” one remarked.

“She didn’t let Noah stop her,” another joked.

“She did it!” Another cheered

“Good for her. She definitely wanted him,” someone praised.
