The artist and actress have been quietly dating for the past four months.

Ahead of the long-awaited premiere of HBO's The Idol, Lily-Rose Depp is doing what she can to make her presence felt. We've already met the raunchy pop star she'll be playing alongside The Weeknd in his upcoming series. Now, the actress is ready to share more of her personal life with fans, revealing via Instagram a few days ago that she's quietly been dating a famous singer for four months now.

On Thursday (May 11), the 23-year-old's Story lit up with a snapshot of her and 070 Shake sharing a passionate kiss. "FOUR MONTHS [WITH] MY CRUSH," she excitedly wrote over their sweet moment of PDA. While this is the first confirmation we've received of their relationship, as Page Six notes, rumours actually began swirling around them during Paris Fashion Week in late February and early March. Based on the timeline from Depp's IG post, she and the "Nice To Have" hitmaker – born Danielle Balbuena – made their fling official in mid-January, and have only grown closer since then.

Lily-Rose Depp Reveals She's in Love

In the past, Johnny Depp's daughter has mostly been linked to male lovers, such as French rapper, Yassine Stein, Kylie Jenner's new boo, Timothée Chalamet, and Elvis actor, Austin Butler. Even with her celebrity status, the young starlet prefers to keep that part of her life out of the spotlight. "I think that the value of privacy is something that’s been instilled in me from an early age," she told Drew Barrymore while appearing on her talk show in April 2021.

As for the musician, Balbuena's only other high-profile union was with Kehlani back in 2021, though the mother of one has since moved on. Prior to that, she dated Sophia Lodato from 2017 to 2020 and has also kept many of her romantic affairs hidden from the public eye. Do you think 070 Shake and Lily-Rose Depp make a cute couple? Let us know in the comments, and tap back in with HNHH later for more pop culture news updates.
