Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn, the “Stranger Things” star, seem to have gone from an online flirtation to a real-life romance. The Grammy-winning singer and the British actor were recently spotted in London, sparking excitement among fans and followers.
A video posted by Deuxmoi on Sunday captured the two holding hands and displaying affectionate behavior during a casual stroll through the city. The footage shows Quinn wrapping his arm around Doja Cat, touching her back, and subtly caressing her butt, signaling a comfortable and intimate relationship between the pair.
The sighting of Doja Cat and Quinn comes shortly after another intimate moment was shared. An eyewitness captured the duo snuggling at an Osees rock concert at Dingwalls in Camden, London, just a few days prior. The public displays of affection are generating buzz, particularly given that Doja Cat had previously expressed interest in Quinn.
Back in July 2022, Doja Cat revealed her crush on Quinn when she tweeted about him, calling him “fine as s–t.” Her attraction to Quinn was well-known among her fans, and she even reached out to Quinn’s “Stranger Things” co-star Noah Schnapp for help in connecting with the actor. In a direct message, Doja Cat asked Schnapp to tell Quinn to “hmu” (hit me up) and inquired whether Quinn was in a relationship.
Schnapp, then 17, responded by suggesting Doja Cat slide into Quinn’s DMs herself and provided her with a link to his profile. However, the situation took a turn when Schnapp shared their private conversation in a TikTok video.
This led to some awkwardness, with Doja Cat later criticizing Schnapp for what she deemed an invasion of privacy. In a TikTok Live, she described Schnapp’s actions as “borderline snake s–t” and “weasel s–t,” which fueled backlash from fans. Many criticized Doja Cat for involving a teenager in her romantic pursuits.
The drama had a tangible impact on both celebrities’ social media presence. Doja Cat saw a decline in her follower count, losing nearly 200,000 followers, while Schnapp’s followers surged by 2 million. Despite the social media fallout, Schnapp addressed the situation publicly, stating on TikTok that he had apologized and still followed and admired Doja Cat’s music, with no hard feelings remaining.
Now, with the recent public appearances of Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn together, it seems their relationship has evolved from online interactions to a tangible connection. Fans are celebrating the culmination of Doja Cat’s long-held affection for the actor.
Comments on social media have been overwhelmingly positive, with users expressing delight over the couple’s budding romance and praising Doja Cat for achieving her long-desired relationship.
As the couple continues to be seen together, it will be interesting to see how their relationship develops and if they address their romance publicly. For now, their recent public appearances suggest that Doja Cat’s earlier efforts to connect with Quinn have blossomed into a genuine relationship.
