GloRilla and Brandon Ingram Go Public With Romance
The rumors that have been circulating for months are officially true: Memphis rapper GloRilla and New Orleans Pelicans star Brandon Ingram are a couple. The confirmation came directly from the rapper herself in a sweet birthday post for the NBA forward on Thursday morning.
GloRilla took to her official Instagram account to celebrate Ingram’s 28th birthday, ending weeks of fan speculation. She shared a carousel of photos, including a candid shot of the two of them smiling together away from the public eye.
The post was accompanied by a simple but affectionate caption: “Happy Birthday to my favorite person! Blessed to have you. Ingram later responded in the comments with a series of heart emojis, cementing the public announcement.
The news quickly became a trending topic, with major celebrity news outlets like People Magazine reporting on the confirmation.
This official reveal puts an end to a trail of clues that fans have been piecing together since late last year. The dating rumors first began to gain traction when GloRilla was spotted sitting courtside at several of the Pelicans’ home games in New Orleans.
Her frequent appearances, often away from the typical celebrity seating areas, led many to believe her interest in the games was personal.
Social media users had also noted that the two were frequently interacting online, leaving supportive comments and likes on each other’s posts. However, until today, neither GloRilla nor Ingram had publicly addressed the nature of their relationship.
The reaction from fans has been overwhelmingly positive. The comments section of GloRilla’s post was flooded with well-wishes for the new couple. “This is the power couple we didn’t know we needed! Happy for them,” one user wrote, echoing a common sentiment.
Both stars are at high points in their respective careers. GloRilla has become one of hip-hop’s most exciting new voices since her breakout hit “F.N.F. (Let’s Go),” while Brandon Ingram remains a key player for the Pelicans and a respected figure in the league, with career stats available on the official NBA website.
With the birthday post, the couple has taken control of their own narrative, moving their relationship from the rumor mill into the public eye on their own terms. Fans of both music and basketball will now be watching the budding romance between two of the top stars in their fields.
