Keyshia Cole Seemingly Confirms Hunxho Dating Rumors
Just a week after sparking dating rumors following a night out in Atlanta, it seems Keyshia Cole has confirmed a new romance with rapper Hunxho.
The “Love” singer, 42, took to X on Monday (April 15) and laid all the rumors to rest in a post that simply read, “@hunxho mine.” Her new beau, 24, replied to the post with a red heart emoji.
The apparent confirmation sparked mixed reactions. Some couldn’t see past their 18-year age gap, while others hoped for a future breakup that would lead to new music.
One tweeted, “Keyshia that man was born in 1999?!?!” Another mistakingly referenced a K. Michelle song, but the sentiment remains. “What happen to can’t raise a man ? he 24 you 42,” they wrote. Elsewhere, someone chimed in, “I’m not praying on nobody’s downfall but I can’t wait 4 ur next album.”
Meanwhile, Cole was not here for the haters’ hearsay.
One quipped, “N***A USED A FAKE A** HEART. @KeyshiaCole STAND THE HELL UP SISTA PLEASEEEEEE!!!!” To which she responded, “BLOCKED.” Another hoped that Hunxho would break her heart and Cole expressed, “I hope he don’t. God bless.”
The mother of two isn’t new to the “cougar” labels. Her youngest child’s father, Niko Khale, was around the same age as Hunxho when he and Cole began dating back in 2018. They welcomed their son, Tobias, two years later.
The new couple joins the list of other couples to debut recently with a significant age gap. Draya Michele, 39, caught some heat when she revealed she was expecting a baby girl with her 22-year-old NBA star, Jalen Green. Aoki Lee Simmons, 21, was also briefly scrutinized over her short-lived romance with 65-year-old Vittorio Assaf.
