Both Brandon Ingram and GloRilla have burgeoning careers that keep them on the road, but they've still found time to prioritize each other.

The Toronto Raptors star forward and the Grammy-nominated rapper were first linked in July 2025 when TMZ obtained footage of the two celebrating GloRilla's 26th birthday in Mexico together.

The hitmaker later posted a carousel of photos from the trip featuring one snap of herself laying against a tattooed arm with the exact ink as Ingram. Since then, the pair have gone Instagram official, and GloRilla has been spotted cheering Ingram on courtside on multiple occasions.

The rapper has also shared sweet moments, like downtime at home where she playfully danced and teased Ingram while listening to her single, “Special.”

Still, the performer prefers to keep their bond largely out of the spotlight.

“I'm not going to speak too much about our relationship because I kind of like our privacy,” GloRilla told Complex in a December 2025 interview. "We don't really be too much in public."

From birthday getaways to a signature handshake, here’s a look at GloRilla and Brandon Ingram's relationship.

GloRilla and Ingram sparked romance rumors in July 2025, but the two had already been seeing each other for some time.

The “TGIF” rapper told Complex that she met the baller at a Thanksgiving NBA game in Memphis between her hometown Grizzlies and Ingram’s team at the time, the New Orleans Pelicans.

When asked who made the first move, GloRilla giggled and admitted, “Him!” before quickly adding, “But that's it, that's all I'm gonna say!”

In July 2025, TMZ reported that the rumored couple was spotted at a nightclub in Cabo, Mexico, ahead of the rapper’s birthday.

GloRilla and her group occupied a section for the evening at Balam, and the pair kept close throughout the night. At one point, the two were seen dancing with GloRilla’s arms wrapped around Ingram’s neck. They eventually left holding hands at around 3 a.m.

The lowkey couple gave fans a glimpse into their relationship in September 2025 when they made things Instagram official.

The Tennessee native posted a carousel of photos on Instagram, including one of her lying against Ingram as he covered her eyes and she laughed.

GloRilla has been a fixture at Raptors games both at home and on the road, even sporting a diamond "3" chain in a nod to Ingram's jersey number.

In January 2026, GloRilla posted a carousel of photos on Instagram of herself at one of Ingram's games, joking that she has to act differently since she "gotta man now."

GloRilla hopped on stage at Sexyy Red’s November 2025 concert in St. Louis to perform her hit single “TGIF” with a slight tweak. In a clear reference to Ingram, Glorilla rapped the lyrics “Got a light-skin n---- with braids,” instead of the original “Got a brown-skin n---- with dreads.”

The line did not go unnoticed as Sexxy Red yelled out, “Girl, don’t try to change the song” to a laughing Glo.

Later, Sexxy Red playfully called out her friend and collaborator.

“Now why @GloTheofficial done change the lyrics like I wouldn’t notice 😂😂,” joked the rapper.

“Yup. I said what I said, too,” GloRilla confirmed when asked about the lyric change in her interview with Complex.

GloRilla, decked out in flaming orange tresses and a chic camo pants set, screamed in jubilation, and the two hugged courtside. They then showed off their complicated handshake, which ended in a kiss.
