Lily-Rose Depp is having a moment right now. The bona fide It Girl has recently returned to the screen in Nosferatu and has been serving some incredible looks on the red carpet.
And whilst she’s never been one to live her life out of the spotlight, being the daughter of Johnny Depp has always come with increased media attention, and the star’s latest project has placed her front and centre.
Prior to her most recent blockbuster, Lily-Rose made headlines after starring in the controversial series The Idol, but ahead of the series finale, it was a sweet birthday tribute to her girlfriend that has fans curious – especially since the 25-year-old keeps much of her dating life out of the public eye.
So, just who is Lily-Rose Depp dating and who is 070 Shake? Here’s what you need to know.
Who is Lily-Rose Depp dating?
Lily-Rose Depp is currently dating 070 Shake, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena is a 27-year-old rapper from New Jersey.
Born to Dominican parents, she spent her formative years in North Bergen, where she excelled as a high school basketball star. Her moniker ‘Shake’ originated from a signature move she would execute on the court, aptly called the ‘shake weave.’
In 2015, 070 Shake burst onto the music scene as a member of the 070 Music Collective. However, it was in 2018 that she truly made her mark with the release of her debut solo EP, Glitter.
Since then, 070 Shake’s career has skyrocketed. Garnering attention and acclaim, she inked a record deal with GOOD Music, Kanye West’s renowned label. This partnership has yielded two studio albums, namely Modus Vivendi and You Can’t Kill Me. 070 Shake has also opened for esteemed artists like Kid Cudi, Coldplay, and The 1975. She also featured on two tracks, Ghost Town and Violent Crimes, from Kanye West’s album Ye.
During her press tour for Nosferatu in December 2024, Lily-Rose gave a heartwarming tribute to her girlfriend while on the red carpet, telling E! News, “I’m incredibly proud [of her new album], I feel like there’s not enough time in these short interviews to really sum it up, but I’m incredibly proud. She’s incredibly talented, I’m very proud.”
When asked about “what makes their relationship click,” Lily-Rose continued, “I think it’s that kind of je ne sais quoi. You can’t describe that kind of feeling, but yeah, I’m very happy.”
When did Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake start dating?
The announcement of their relationship came directly from Lily-Rose herself, who took to her Instagram stories to share a heartwarming moment. In a picture capturing them sharing a passionate kiss, she affectionately captioned it, “4 MONTHS W MY CRUSH,” which suggests that their romantic journey began around January 2023.
Their love story has been witnessed by others as well. As they arrived back at LAX Airport from the Cannes Film Festival in France, Lily-Rose and 070 Shake were caught in a tender embrace, exchanging a sweet kiss. Furthermore, their affection for each other was evident during a cozy date in the vibrant streets of New York City, where they were seen cuddling up together.
In June, the actress took to Instagram to share a sweet tribute to her girlfriend for her birthday. The sweet collection of pictures from their months together was accompanied by the caption: “Happy Birthday love of my life.”
Who has Lily-Rose Depp dated?
While we know a bit about Lily-Rose Depp’s dating history, there isn’t a lot of information out there as the star values her privacy.
“The value of privacy is something that’s been instilled in me from an early age,” she revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show back in 2021.
“Growing up in a family like I did, it was always something that was—I always learned the importance of privacy and valuing that and keeping things just for yourself. And that’s something that I’ve carried on into my own career and that’s really important to me.”
Despite keeping much of her relationship history under wraps, we do know a little about who the star has been linked to in the past.
Yassine Stein (November 2021 to 2022)
Lily-Rose found herself in the spotlight when she was seen sharing a kiss with rapper Yassine Stein in 2021. Subsequently, the couple were frequently seen together, with their most recent public outing occurring in September 2022 as they strolled around New York City.
However, since that time, a considerable period has elapsed, and in March 2023, fans noticed that the actor and musician had mutually decided to unfollow each other on Instagram. This development has led to speculation that their relationship may have ended, and with Lily-Rose now publically dating 070 SHake, it’s safe to say that relationship is over.
Austin Butler (August 2021)
While it remains uncertain whether Lily-Rose and Austin were involved in a romantic relationship, there were sightings of them kissing following a dinner, which suggests they were more than friends at some point.
Regardless of their romantic status, these two actually have quite a bit of history, both starring in the 2016 film Yoga Hosers together.
Timothée Chalamet (2018 to 2020)
Ah, the joys of young love. This particular duo, who shared the screen in Netflix’s The King, embarked on a romantic journey that spanned well over a year before ultimately parting ways.
Their relationship was thrust into the public eye when images of their affectionate yacht kiss went viral, instantly becoming a talking point.
Reflecting on that moment, Timothée shared with GQ in an October 2020 cover story, “I went to bed that night thinking that was one of the best days of my life…I was on this boat all day with someone I really loved, and closing my eyes, I was like, indisputably, ‘That was great.’ And then waking up to all these pictures and feeling embarrassed and looking like a real nob? All pale? And then people are like: ‘This is a PR stunt.’ A PR stunt?! Do you think I’d want to look like that in front of all of you?!”
However, by the time the article went to print, the duo had already gone their separate ways, as confirmed by Us Weekly in April 2020.
Ash Stymest (2015 to 2018)
In October 2015, Lily-Rose and UK model Ash were captured in photographs appearing pretty cozy, sparking initial speculation about their relationship.
Despite keeping a relatively low-key profile, the couple was spotted together on multiple occasions, however, in 2018, they decided to part ways. Although the specific reasons for their breakup remain unknown, a source disclosed to Just Jared at the time that Lily-Rose Depp and Ash had “chosen to call it quits.”
