Trevor Noah Dating History: Ex-Girlfriends, Relationships

The Daily Show‘s Trevor Noah is back on the market! He and longtime girlfriend Minka Kelly called it quits in May 2021, Life & Style confirmed at the time. The on-again, off-again couple “have been broken up for a while,” a source told Us Weekly in May 2022. “There is no ill will and everything is amicable between them.”

Just like with Minka, Trevor has always kept his love life private. That said, there are some known details about his short and sweet dating history! Trevor’s first significant relationship was with Dani Gabriel, a successful physiotherapist based in his native South Africa. The pair started dating in 2014, and Dani traveled the world with the performer as he did stand-up and worked part-time on the Daily Show as a foreign correspondent.

Unfortunately, their love didn’t make it across the pond when Trevor was tapped to take over the satirical program. Dani was unable to pack up her life — and her medical practice — to move with Trevor to New York, so they split in 2015.

Shortly after moving to the United States, the South African star started dating singer and model Jordyn Taylor. They dated for four years before Trevor “quietly broke it off” between them in 2018, an insider exclusively told Life & Style. “They just grew apart.”

Despite their split, the Comedy Central star was totally smitten with Minka, who had a “huge crush” on him “for years” before they built a connection, the source explained. The former couple met through “mutual friends” who told the commentator about “Minka’s interest,” and subsequently, he “reached out,” the insider claimed.

Though the starlet has been attached to many men in the entertainment industry, she was particularly drawn to Trevor. “She’s dated a lot of guys, but has never found Mr. Right,” the insider added. “They’re definitely serious and into each other.”

Even so, they kept their romance on the down-low. He’s “super private,” said the source. “Don’t look for him to confirm anything, but his friends say he’s in love and that the feelings are mutual.”

Since his 2021 split with Minka, Trevor has been linked to Grammy award-winning pop star Dua Lipa. The pair were photographed kissing in the streets of New York City after a cozy dinner date in September 2022. However, Dua and Trevor never publicly addressed the seemingly budding romance.

Minka Kelly

Ahead of their breakup, the comedian reportedly purchased a $25.7 million mansion in Los Angeles, a source told People in January 2021. “They’re making plans for a future together, and it’s a very stable relationship.”

Later, in May 2021, Us Weekly reported that Trevor and Minka had a brief split, but the pair reconciled a month later.

“Minka and Trevor have been on-and-off,” a source told the publication. “Now they’re back together. They realized they’re both happier being together than apart. They already went on vacation together and are spending a lot of time together. They’re working on their relationship while just enjoying each other’s company.”

Who knows? Maybe they’ll reconcile again!
