Doja Cat Has a New Man… and Y’all, He’s Black!
For the first time in Doja Cat’s adult dating history, sis is finally going public with a Black man — and he’s fine, talented, and making serious moves in Hollywood.
Media Take Out has learned that Doja is quietly dating rising actor Tyriq Withers, and the two have been spending a lot of time together over the past few weeks. It’s still early, but insiders say the chemistry is already very strong. And honestly? They look amazing together.
Who Is Tyriq Withers? Meet Doja’s New Boo
Tyriq Withers (born July 15, 1998) is one of Hollywood’s fastest-climbing young stars. Here’s a quick rundown:
- He starred in the hit FX series Atlanta
- Recently appeared in Jordan Peele’s buzzy new film Him
- Played Division I college football at Florida State before pivoting to acting
- Built a name for himself with his YouTube presence before breaking into TV and film
And just like Doja, he’s biracial — Tyriq’s father is Black and his mother is White, but he identifies fully and proudly as a Black man. Doja, whose father is also Black and mother is White, seems to finally have found someone who fits both her personality and her cultural background.
A Cute New Couple Alert?
Sources tell Media Take Out the pair have been spending private time together, getting to know each other in a chill, low-pressure vibe. They aren’t “Instagram official” yet, but those close to Doja say she’s genuinely enjoying her time with Tyriq.
Given both of their complex public relationships and past dating controversies, fans are saying this new match actually makes sense.
They’re young.
They’re talented.
They’re fine.
And the pairing just feels… right.
