Doja Cat Responds to Joseph Quinn Engagement Rumors After Flashing Ring at iHeartRadio Music Festival
Doja Cat is clearing up any confusion about her relationship status with Joseph Quinn.
On Saturday (Sept. 21), the 28-year-old “Paint the Town Red” rapper flashed a ring on her left hand while performing at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, leaving many fans wondering if she got engaged to the Stranger Things actor.
“no, im not engaged its a David Yurman ring with no rocks in it,” Doja wrote and quickly deleted on X (formerly Twitter) early Sunday morning, according to screenshots from Page Six.
Engagement rumors began swirling online shortly after images of the “Angora Hills” performance surfaced. “Rub it in their face, put a rock on her hand,” she sang while holding out her hand and showing the ring.
“omg doja cat & joseph quinn got engaged,” one fan wrote on X. Another questioned, “JOSEPH QUINN AND DOJA CAT ARE ENGAGED?????” A third confused onlooker added, “i don’t know what to think i don’t think she’s engaged it’s been a month.”
Doja and Quinn, 30, seemingly went public with their romance after stepping out in London holding hands in August. The public’s first sighting of the apparent couple came Aug. 17, when the rapper and A Quiet Place: Day One star took a romantic stroll through the city with their fingers locked. The following day, a video surfaced of them again walking through London.
The outings arrived two years after the “Say So” hittmaker first professed feelings for the actor in a private message sent to his Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp, who then got on Doja’s bad side by posting screenshots to social media. “Noah can u tell Joseph to hmu.” she’d written in the messages. “Wait no. Does he have a gf?”
Shortly after Schnapp posted the DMs, Doja called him out on Instagram Live for being “so unbelievably, like, socially unaware and wack.” “That’s like borderline snake sh–,” she added at the time. “That’s like weasel sh–.” The child star then apologized to the Grammy winner behind the scenes, and both moved on.
