During a May 2025 appearance on Amy Poehler's Good Hang podcast, Rapp admitted she had long thought Bird was "so f—ing cool" and begged a mutual friend for an introduction. Even when warned that Bird wasn't looking for a relationship, Rapp was undeterred, recalling her response: "I couldn't give a f— less. I'm not either, but I'm gonna meet her. We need to at least be friends."
After the introduction, Rapp said Bird was "so f---ing mean" to her, but she "loved it." Rapp told Bird she had heard "so much" about her, and Bird replied: "Why are you talking about me so much then?" Bird not only opened for Rapp but also joined her on stage, performing a stripped-down version of Linger by the Cranberries that sparked excitement online.
Relationship Timeline: From Tour to Public Debut
In September 2023, Bird was one of two openers for the North American leg of Rapp's Snow Hard Feelings Tour. Fans speculated about a romance from their TikTok reposts. On March 10, 2024, the couple made their red carpet debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party, posing for photographers before cozying up inside with espresso martinis in hand.
In June 2025, Rapp confirmed marriage plans in a cover interview for Cosmopolitan, admitting she wants to be with Bird "forever and ever" and revealing she is "the person I love and I want to marry." She added: "She's my best friend. I worship her. I love talking to her, and I also just love watching her talk." Rapp also said her relationship with Bird flowed naturally because "I didn't feel like she was using me at all."
Engagement Rumours and Past Relationships
On November 11, 2025, Rapp posted a six-second TikTok casually flashing a large ring on her finger, set to AIR's Playground Love. The video did not announce an engagement, but fans flooded the comments with excitement, sparking widespread marriage rumors. No official engagement announcement has been made.
Rapp previously identified as bisexual and dated men, acknowledging in a press interview that Regina George "just uses (men) as a little pawn, which is kind of what I've done with the men that I've dated in the past when I was dating men." She was hesitant about switching labels publicly, fearing it would "make bisexual people feel shitty," but now identifies as a lesbian. Before Bird, Rapp was in a nearly year-long relationship with TikTok personality Alissa Carrington; they parted ways in February 2024.
As of now, Rapp and Bird remain together. They attended the 2025 Interscope and Capitol Records Coachella Party on April 12, 2025, in Palm Springs, California, posing together for cameras. Bird has joined Rapp onstage during the Bite Me tour, and their relationship continues to play out both on and off stage.
