Are Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner dating?
Ice Spice seems to be dating Sauce Gardner.
On April 29, Ice Spice posted a mirror selfie with Sauce Gardner, sending fans into a frenzy. Though she quickly removed the photo, the screenshots spread instantly, reigniting rumors that the two are more than just friends.
This wasn’t their first public appearance together. Earlier, Gardner shared a photo with the “Princess Diana” rapper on his own Instagram, sparking initial dating whispers. Since then, they’ve been seen side by side at high-profile events, reportedly including Druski’s “Coulda Been Love” YouTube series premiere and the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscars Party. Fans even noticed Ice Spice at a New York Jets game last year, further fueling speculation.
This isn’t the first time Ice Spice has faced dating rumors. Last year, fans speculated she was involved with U.K. rapper Central Cee after they collaborated on “Did It First” and played love interests in the music video. However, she shut down the rumors in a Rolling Stone interview, saying, “We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out…We’re just twins.”
For those unfamiliar with the NFL star, Sauce Gardner is one of the league’s top cornerbacks. Praising Gardner, one fan posted on X (formerly Twitter), “Sauce Gardner has been in the NFL 3 years and is a 2x-All Pro, DROY, dating Ice Spice, and became a single-digit handicap after never playing golf before. That’s a hell of a resume.”
While neither has officially confirmed a relationship, their frequent appearances together suggest something’s brewing. Meanwhile, Ice Spice is gearing up for her acting debut in Spike Lee’s Highest 2 Lowest.
