In many celebrity relationships, the public stays in the dark until one unmistakable moment changes everything. That moment arrived for Brandon Ingram and GloRilla when Ingram hit a game winning shot against the Indiana Pacers, then walked straight to the Memphis rapper for a hug and a kiss. The uncertainty vanished. Fans no longer wondered if they were dating. They had their answer.
GloRilla added more smoke to the fire when she posted a TikTok dancing to her new song Special while wearing an oversized white T-shirt and nothing else. Ingram sat on the couch behind her as she danced in a goofy, carefree way that felt different from her usual style. The comments immediately lit up. One user joked, “When she ask u to be in her tiktok video n u say ok without knowin wth she bouta do.” Another added, “They must’ve just got finished,” while someone else chimed in with, “locked in fr.” Fans treated the video like a public confirmation. A TikTok like that rarely lies.
Who Made the First Move?
During her recent conversation with Complex, GloRilla explained that she prefers to protect their privacy, but she still gave a few glimpses into how things started. She laughed when asked who made the first move and said Ingram did without hesitation, per ClutchPoints. She also shared that they met last Thanksgiving at a Memphis versus New Orleans game while Ingram played for the Pelicans. Even with cameras now following their every interaction, she said she tries to keep their connection grounded rather than let public attention shape it.
Beyond the relationship headlines, GloRilla continues to push her music into new territory while navigating the fast pace of fame. She has shown personality and vulnerability across interviews. She has also become one of the more captivating young voices in rap, which makes her backstory even more compelling.
