Doja Cat clears up engagement rumors after iHeartRadio ring appearance
Doja Cat: “Stranger Things” star went public with their relationship in August.
Fans Speculate About Engagement with Joseph Quinn
Doja Cat sparked engagement rumors after her performance at the iHeartRadio Music Festival on Saturday, September 21, where she was seen wearing a ring on her left hand.
The 28-year-old rapper, who performed her hit “Paint the Town Red,” flashed the ring during the show, leading fans to believe she might be engaged to Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn. Speculation quickly took over social media, with fans sharing their surprise and excitement.
One fan posted, “omg doja cat & joseph quinn got engaged,” while others questioned if the rumors were true. The buzz continued, especially when Doja sang the lyrics, “Rub it in their face, put a rock on her hand,” while showing the ring.
Doja Cat Addresses the Rumors
However, Doja Cat swiftly cleared up the misunderstanding. Taking to X (formerly Twitter) early Sunday morning, she wrote, “no, im not engaged its a David Yurman ring with no rocks in it,” according to screenshots shared by Page Six.
The post was later deleted, but the clarification came before the engagement rumors could spiral further. Despite her explanation, fans continued to discuss the possibility of an engagement due to her recent public appearances with Quinn.
Romance with Joseph Quinn Goes Public
Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn were first spotted together in August 2024, holding hands during a stroll in London. This outing marked the first public confirmation of their romantic relationship.
Their appearance came two years after Doja had shown interest in Quinn, messaging his Stranger Things co-star Noah Schnapp asking if Quinn had a girlfriend.
While Schnapp later shared those messages online, causing a brief spat between him and Doja, the two made amends, and the rapper moved on. The couple’s recent outings, however, have reignited interest in their relationship status.
The Ring Is Just Fashion, Not an Engagement
For now, Doja Cat has made it clear that the ring is nothing more than a stylish David Yurman accessory and not a symbol of engagement. Fans can rest assured that the rapper isn’t planning a wedding just yet.
