After months of swirling rumours and subtle sightings, Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch and rapper Tyga have finally made it official. The couple confirmed their romance in true celebrity style¡ªvia Instagram posts from the sun-drenched grounds of Coachella.?
On 21 April, the 30-year-old actress shared a series of photos from the second weekend of the California-based music festival. While most of the snaps captured typical festival vibes¡ªpalm trees, boho outfits and golden-hour lighting¡ªtwo images stood out. In one, Petsch leans affectionately on Tyga¡¯s shoulder as he scrolls through his phone. In another, the couple share a quiet embrace under the stars, all but confirming what fans had suspected for months.?
Tyga, 35¡ªreal name Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson¡ªposted his own festival photo dump on Instagram the same day. Amongst group shots featuring celebrity friends like Justin Bieber and DJ Mustard, the rapper included casual snaps of himself and Petsch enjoying downtime together on the festival grounds.? ?
The couple¡¯s Coachella confirmation follows a string of public appearances that first sparked dating rumours. On 19 February, they were spotted courtside at a Lakers vs Hornets NBA game in Los Angeles. A week later, they turned heads at Vanity Fair¡¯s Young Hollywood party on 26 February, arriving in matching all-black ensembles.
Though neither commented at the time, their joint outings and coordinated looks kept tongues wagging online and in celebrity gossip circles.
Petsch¡¯s last long-term relationship was with musician Travis Mills, lasting three years. She was later linked to music manager Anthony Li.
Tyga¡¯s high-profile dating history includes a well-known relationship with Kylie Jenner. He also shares an 11-year-old son, King Cairo, with his former partner Blac Chyna.
While the couple have kept things relatively low-key so far, their shared Instagram posts suggest they¡¯re ready to stop hiding. Whether this is a passing fling or something more serious, Petsch and Tyga seem to be enjoying their time together¡ªand fans are here for it.
