Good .For. Her
Just like the Mounties, Doja Cat always gets her man. The pop star is currently in London, enjoying the city with rumored new boyfriend Joseph Quinn, known from "Stranger Things" and the upcoming "Fantastic Four."
The two were recently seen getting cozy at Dingwalls Dancehall in Camden and holding hands while strolling through the city. This comes two years after Doja reached out to Quinn's "Stranger Things" co-star Noah Schnapp in a DM, hoping he’d play matchmaker.
Two summers ago, Doja Cat made her intentions known by joining the Joseph Quinn fan train, posting on fan pages and even reaching out directly to then-17-year-old Noah Schnapp for help in making a romantic connection.
Schnapp advised her to DM Quinn directly and provided a link to the British actor's Instagram. Schnapp later shared their exchange in a now-deleted TikTok, which didn’t sit well with Doja.
The "Kiss Me More" singer and rapper criticized Schnapp for sharing their “private conversation,” calling it “borderline snake-like.” Doja faced some backlash herself for involving a 17-year-old in her quest for love.
However, in this modern-day twist on a Shakespearean romance, things seem to have worked out. Schnapp and Doja Cat have patched things up, and Doja appears to be dating Joseph Quinn. Who needs dating apps when you’ve got Instagram and a successful music career?
Reps for Doja Cat and Quinn did not immediately respond to Entertainment Weekly’s request for comment.

The internet is buzzing with excitement after Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn were spotted getting close. Now, everyone’s asking—are they dating? Given that stranger things have happened, let’s dive into what we know about this potential couple.
The rumors began with an anonymous tipster reporting that the two were seen together at Dingwalls, a music and comedy venue in Camden, UK. To add to the speculation, a photo circulating on social media appears to show them in a close embrace—take a look below.
For those who aren’t "Stranger Things" fans, here’s the scoop. Joseph Quinn rose to fame almost instantly when he joined the cast of the popular Netflix series in its fourth season. The British actor played Eddie Munson, the charming metalhead with a heart of gold. With his impressive guitar skills and distinctive curly hair, Quinn quickly won over fans. And it’s evident that Doja Cat took notice!
It turns out Doja Cat has had a crush on Joseph Quinn for quite some time. Back in 2022, when she was 26 and he was 29, she openly expressed her admiration, calling Quinn “fine as sh—t.”
Doja took a bold step to make a connection, reaching out to Noah Schnapp—who plays Will Byers on "Stranger Things"—to play matchmaker. In a now-deleted TikTok Schnapp shared, Doja’s DM requested his help in setting her up with Quinn: “Noah, can you tell Joseph to [hit me up]? Wait, does he have a girlfriend?”
When Schnapp suggested she message Quinn directly, Doja responded, “I don’t know his Instagram or Twitter. He doesn’t have a DM to slide into.” Schnapp then helped her out by providing Quinn’s Instagram link with a playful, “right here ma’am.”
Doja Cat was understandably unhappy when Schnapp exposed her crush to the public. During an Instagram Live session, she criticized the then-17-year-old for sharing their “private conversation,” calling the TikTok post “socially unaware and whack,” and even describing it as “borderline snake sh—t” and “weasel sh—t,” according to Rolling Stone.
While it’s unclear if Schnapp’s awkward attempt at matchmaking led to anything at the time, the recent sighting of Doja and Quinn getting cozy at Dingwalls raises questions. Are they really a couple, or are they just two attractive celebrities hanging out?
At the moment, both Doja and Quinn are staying silent on the matter. No confirmations or denials yet—so we’ll just have to wait and see!

Photos shared on X show Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn enjoying themselves at Camden's Dingwalls music venue, where Quinn was seen with his arms around the pop-rap star.
Later, the two were spotted having drinks at a nearby pub, appearing quite captivated by each other.
Rumors of a potential romance have surfaced amid speculation that Doja Cat—whose real name is Amala Ratna Zandile Dlamini—might have split from her boyfriend, J Cyrus. Some fans claim to have seen the rapper's profile on the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya.
Previously, Doja Cat expressed her admiration for Quinn when an X user shared a photo of the actor with the caption: “Doja, look how fine Joseph Quinn is.” The Grammy-winning artist responded, “It’s f***ing criminal.”
The last time the Agoura Hills artist was publicly associated with Quinn was when his "Stranger Things" co-star Noah Schnapp revealed that she had asked him to set up a connection with Quinn.
In direct messages shared on Instagram, the "Paint The Town Red" rapper wrote: “Noah, can you tell Joseph to hit me up? Wait, does he have a girlfriend?”
“I don’t know his IG or Twitter; he doesn’t have a DM to slide into,” she said before the young actor provided Quinn’s Instagram handle.
The "Charlie Brown" voice actor then gleefully shared the exchange on his TikTok, which led to Doja Cat expressing her frustration. In an Instagram livestream rant, she described his actions as “borderline snake s***, that’s weasel s***.”
“The fact that Noah did that—posted a private conversation between me and him—is so unbelievably socially unaware and whack,” she said. “That’s borderline snake s***, that’s weasel s***. And I’m not saying that defines his entire personality—I don’t imagine Noah that way.”
“Maybe he is, like, a whole snake, but I didn’t see him that way. I assumed he’d handle it chill, but he shared information I wasn’t comfortable with him sharing,” she continued, acknowledging that he might simply be young and naive.
“To be fair, he’s just a kid. I don’t know how old he is, but he’s definitely not over 21.”
