Noah Cyrus has a new beau.
E! News can confirm that the 18-year-old "Stay Together" singer and 21-year-old "Betrayed" rapper Lil Xan are dating. A source tells E! News that "they are definitely seeing each other a lot." The insider adds, "I am not sure what you call that these days, but it's open to interpretation."
The couple has been packing on the PDA on social media recently, sparking romance rumors. In one Instagram snap from over the weekend, Xan, whose real name is Diego Leanos, leans in close to Noah as she wears a jersey with "Lil Xan" written on it. "My baby girl," he captioned the post.
On Monday, the duo shared the same picture on social media showing Xan kissing Noah's cheek. "ok fr. look at this lil nuggetttt!!!" Noah, who is the younger sister of Miley Cyrus, wrote alongside the Instagram snap.
18-year-old Noah Cyrus, Miley’s sister, appears to be dating 21-year-old Soundcloud rapper Lil Xan. Besides a bunch of suggestive Instagram posts, People has confirmed the relationship, citing an anonymous source who adds that “it’s new.”
On Saturday, Xan posted a selfie with Cyrus to his Instagram with the tongue-in-cheek caption: “We ugly as fuck I know.” Somehow, this set off alarm bells for fans, who started to connect the dots in the comments.
Neither have officially confirmed they’re dating, but these Instagram captions tell their own story. In another photo, Lil Xan calls Cyrus his “baby girl” and in yet another snap of the two almost touching tongues, he cuts right to the chase with: “I like her.”

For her part, Cyrus called the rapper a “lil nugget” in a recent post of the two young stars showing massive PDA.
Lil Xan released his debut album, Total Xanarchy, of this year. Although the rapper can be controversial—he is named after Xanax, even if he’s since quit taking the drug—his career has been on the upswing in the past year. Total Xanarchy included appearances by YG, Charli XCX, Yo Gotti, and Rae Sremmurd and has elsewhere collaborated with 2 Chainz and Diplo. He’s also headlined a 25-date North American tour. His most recent song, “Crazy Shit,” features Skooly.

Noah is new to the music industry as well, but admittedly has had less success than her rumored boyfriend. Her vocals can be heard on the iLL BLU remix of One Bit’s “My Way,” which premiered late last year. Still, people were shocked when the late XXXTentacion announced he had a track coming out with Noah titled “Again.”

"My baby girl," Xan (real name: Diego Leanos) wrote on one photo of him cozying up to Cyrus. "I like her," he captioned another.

Meanwhile, neither party has confirmed that they are in a relationship. See the posts below.

That said, Cyrus has not been shy about her admiration for the Soundcloud star. She wore a white jersey emblazoned with his stage name in another one of his Instagram posts. “My baby girl,” he captioned the shot on Sunday, July 29.
The Ponyo voice actress (whose sister is Miley Cyrus) was previously linked to fellow singer Tanner Drayton (a.k.a. Tanner Alexander). It appears they split recently as they were last spotted together in late June, when they got matching star tattoos on their forearms. The exes also collaborated on a song titled “Lately.”
Noah served as an opening act on Katy Perry’s Witness world tour in late 2017. She is set to kick off her own Good Cry tour on September 22.
