Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn Spark Romance Rumors After PDA-Filled Night Out
Doja Cat said let me be your woman, and two years later it looks like Joseph Quinn accepted.
The Grammy winner, 28, and Stranger Things breakout star, 30, recently packed on the PDA at London’s music venue Dingwalls, as seen in pictures shared to social media. The pair were then reportedly seen getting drinks together at a nearby pub, per the Independent.
E! News has reached out to reps for both Doja and Joseph for comment but has not yet heard back.
The intimate outing comes two years after Doja expressed interest in the A Quiet Place: Day One star, following the season four release of Stranger Things.
As some might remember, however, there was some drama as Doja revealed her crush in what she thought would be a private direct message exchange between herself and Joseph’s castmate Noah Schnapp.
Noah ultimately revealed the “Woman” singer’s messages—which involved her asking, “Noah can you tell Joseph to hmu?” and asking if he was single—in a now-deleted July 2022 TikTok which he captioned, “thirsty doja.”
Doja was then quick to fire back at the then 17-year-old for revealing their DMs.
“First let’s try to be chill about it,” she began an Instagram Live video at the time. “To be fair, this is like a kid. I don’t know how old he is, but there’s no way he’s over 21.”

She continued, “When you’re that young, you make mistakes. You do dumb s–t. I’m trying to be super fair. You f–k up relationships with people, you make mistakes—like you’re supposed to so that you know not to do it in the future. I did my share of f–ked up so that I don’t f–k up again.”
However, the “Say So” singer did describe posting their conversation as “so unbelievably socially unaware and wack.”
“Like, that’s like borderline snake s–t,” she shared. “That’s like, weasel s–t. And like, I’m not saying that encapsulates his entire personality. Noah is not like the definition—like I wouldn’t imagine he is. Maybe he is?”
But while Doja may have preferred her messages with Noah to remain private, she wasn’t too quiet about her interest in Joseph.
When the first half of season four of Stranger Things was released in may 2022, Doja tweeted, “Joseph Quinn fine as s–t.”
And when a fan account tweeted at her, “Doja look how fine Joseph Quinn is,” she confirmed, “It’s f–king criminal.”

Millie Bobby Brown
Millie’s relationship with Jake Bongiovi—the son of rocker Jon Bon Jovi— dates back to at least June 2021, when Jake posted a photo of the couple on Instagram with the caption “bff <3."
After making their red carpet debut as a couple at the BAFTA Film Awards in March 2022, the two proved that their fashion sense was in sync when they stepped out to Stranger Things‘ season four premiere in May wearing matching black-and-white ensembles. And later that month, Millie posted a throwback photo of Jake hanging out with her Stranger Things co-star Finn Wolfhard on set, proving that her man has her work family’s stamp of appoval.
Millie announced her engagement to Jake in April 2023, posting a photo of the two sharing a laugh while the actress wore a diamond sparkler on her wedding ring finger. She captioned the snap with lyrics from “Lover” by Taylor Swift: “I’ve loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.”
The couple tied the knot in May 2024.

Finn Wolfhard
Finn isn’t lacking in the love department himself! The actor is currently dating actress Elsie Richter, though the two keep their relationship very private. In a November 2021 interview with The Washington Post, Finn said a fan threatened to expose Elsie’s address unless Finn confirmed their relationship. He was forced to comply.
“They’re like, ‘Oh, OK, I’m so sorry. We love her,’ ” he told the paper. “It all fades literally once you’re like, ‘Hey, calm down. It’s cool. I’m a real person.’ It’s almost like a trance or something. Maybe it’s a power thing.”
Most notably, Elsie appeared in seven episodes of the HBO series Doll & Em.
Finn and Elsie have been together since mid-2021.

Natalia Dyer and Charlie Heaton
Love blossomed in Hawkins!
Natalia, who plays Nancy Wheeler, and Charlie, who plays Jonathan Byers, have been linked since 2017 when they made their red carpet debut at The Fashion Awards in London.
Their characters are intrinsically linked, which has led for plenty of on-screen time together, which Natalia doesn’t take for granted.
“It’s always really fun. We’re really comfortable with each other, so we can play and feel more free, and we can talk about it before,” she told Refinery29 in 2019. “There’s that sense of who knows if you’ll ever work together with this person ever again? Who knows? This might be your only chance to play like this.”
Despite the fact they’ve been public about their relationship, don’t expect the couple to put everything on display. “Some people are very good about being open and sharing,” Natalia told Cosmopolitan in May 2022, “and other people feel a little more comfortable holding some things for themselves.”
Gaten Matarazzo
Gaten, who plays Dustin, has been dating girlfriend Lizzy Yu for more than four years. He made note of their anniversary with a cute Instagram post on March 7, posting a picture of Lizzy captioned: “Four years? That’s dope. I love you. Thanks for being my best friend. Happy anniversary goob.”
In May 2021, the couple attended prom together! Gaten posted a photo on Instagram of the couple all dressed up with caption: “Got to go to prom with this goober. Thanks for letting me tag along broski. Love you”
Gaten and Lizzy live together in New Jersey—with three cats!—which was revealed in a May 2022 interview with Esquire. Lizzy is an actress herself and will soon appear in Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation.

Joe Keery
Joe dated It Follows actress Maika Monroe from 2017 to 2022. The two broke up around the time he wrapped filming in Rome for Finally Dawn.
“It’s a weird job, being an actor,” Joe he told Variety. “You fly to a random place, move your whole life and that is basically your new life for the next six months.”
He continued, “I had also gone through a big breakup, right as I was leaving Rome, so I was really isolated and focused on my work.”

Noah Schnapp
While there were rumblings that Noah, who plays Will Byers, dated Millie in the early days of the show, the two appear to simply be the best of friends. In February 2022, Noah posted a series of photos from Millie’s 18th birthday party on Instagram, which included shots of Millie’s boyfriend Jake.
He came out as gay in January 2023, noting in a TikTok video that his friends and family were unfazed when they learned of his sexuality. “When I finally told my friends and family I was gay after being scared in the closet for 18 years,” he recalled, “and all they said was ‘we know.'”
At the moment, Noah appears to be single.

Caleb McLaughlin
In an interview with Wired in 2021, Caleb, who plays Lucas, said he was single.
However, Caleb maintained that he’s always going to keep things close to the vest. “If I’m actually dating someone, if I’m in a relationship,” he said, “you wouldn’t know.”
