Inside Renee Rapp’s Dating History: Meet the Entertainer’s Ex-Boyfriends and Girlfriends

​​Towa Bird

Renée and Towa Bird seemingly made their red carpet debut at the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty. The musicians took solo photos and snapped a few together before heading inside the venue, where they looked completely coupled up.

Neither of the pair have publicly confirmed their relationship.

Antonio Cipriano

Renée seemingly fell in love at the theatre when she was linked to Broadway star Antonio Cipriano in 2019. The couple routinely shared photos with each other online … until they didn’t in 2021.

Neither of the actors publicly confirmed their romance.

Alissa Carrington

Renée and Alissa Carrington never publicly addressed their relationship, but they sparked dating rumors consistently. After the Sex Lives of College Girls actress and TikTok content creator were featured on each other’s social media accounts throughout 2023, Renée revealed what her current “type” was.

“I’m in love with everybody at all times. I absolutely have a type; I have a couple of types. I went through a phase of dating people who look like me,” the “Moon” singer told The Cut in August 2023. “I’m in a very brunette era. Anybody with, like, brown curly hair is like kryptonite to me. I’m such a slut for somebody with an artistic vision and a strong opinion.”

It’s unclear when they split, but Renée confirmed she was single after going through a breakup during her February 2024 interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

Connecting to Characters

Renée played the ever-so slay-master Leighton Murray on HBO’s The Sex Life of College Girls. Leighton came out as gay during the emotional season 1 finale and Renée later admitted she was connected to her character’s sexuality.

“I’m a white, bisexual woman, so there’s a sense in which my queerness is very palatable,” she told Vogue in 2021. “Truly, though, so much of Leighton is me, and so much of Leighton has helped me understand myself. I don’t think that I had an amazing relationship to my queerness, but through playing Leighton, I feel like I’m being much more openly queer, because it is a public part of who I am, and I’m very proud of that.”

Dating on the Down Low

Renée revealed that she broke a promise she once made to herself about her love life.

“I swore up and down I would never be in a public relationship and then I just found someone who I really loved and made me feel really safe and comfortable,” she explained to People in August 2023, seemingly about Alissa. “So, then I started posting with this person, and then it became a whole thing. Now I’m like, ​f–k, I have to deal with the consequences of my own actions of publicly cosigning someone as my partner.”

Discovering Herself

In February 2024, the “Not My Fault” singer gave fans an update on her sexual identity.

“It is the coolest thing ever because I’ve only recently started referring to myself as a lesbian, and I’ve only recently been in a relationship where I’m like, ‘Yeah, I’m a lesbian for sure.’ I never consumed any piece of queer media up until maybe three months ago,” Renée admitted to THR. “I’m watching The L Word for the first time, and I just watched But I’m a Cheerleader, and I’m watching all these movies and parts of gay culture, specifically lesbian culture, and I’m like, ‘I love this.’ It’s also been the most rewarding, validating, scary and exciting experience ever. So to imagine that that could be like that for somebody else, that makes me love acting.”
