Couple reflects on love amid public scrutiny

Romance started flowering between the two in the summer of 2023. They were seen getting intimate at an Ibiza nightclub and have mostly kept a low profile. Although they have been seen together on and off—including at Teyana Taylor's post-Met Gala cabaret. Nevertheless, they usually shun the limelight.

Ceretti, in an interview with Vogue France in March 2025, discussed dating a global superstar. She stated once one starts dating someone who is more popular than them, their identity becomes linked to that of their partner.

Despite public interest and media rumours, the couple is more concerned with building their relationship. Ceretti explained that love makes people feel confident and there is no need to be scared if two lovers understand each other.
