Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner appear to take their relationship “very seriously” after making an appearance at the “Basketball Wives” season 12 premiere

Brittany Renner and Kevin Gates, who have been teasing each other with a serious relationship since 2022, may finally be making it official.

At the Basketball Wives Season 12 premiere, the two were recently sighted, and let’s just say that they weren’t exactly avoiding the cameras. Cozy vibes, a “we came together and we leaving together” vibe, and a same level of energy? Yes, that is a difficult launch if we have ever witnessed one.

The romance between Kevin Gates and Brittany Renner is said to have begun around 2022.

This slow-burning relationship has been simmering for a while, so let’s take a moment to catch up. When Gates initially offered Brittany flowers on the song “Super General,” he name-dropped her like a proud, shameless penman. Then, by using her as the primary actress in his “Bad For Me” music video, he truly proved his point. 

The two continued to provide us with moments last month. Renner drove them around while Gates rode shotgun in a now-viral Instagram video, grooving to Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain” a la montage of a rom-com from the 1990s. Like two high school sweethearts skipping last period, Kevin grabbed Brittany’s hand and turned the camera on her. The two then started laughing at each other.

His caption read:

“I hope this makes someone smile today, sweetie. You know I’m stupid. #Amilio #Thank God #LoveThisForMe.”

Additionally, Brittany isn’t playing it down. With the following caption, she shared a seductive collection of romantic black-and-white photos:

“When something is placed in your heart by Allah, nothing can stop it …”

Naturally, though, humans can never love peacefully on the internet. The association was promptly analyzed by commenters. Kevin didn’t like it when one of his followers said that Brittany was only interested in making money. He retaliated with:

“All I possess is what God has blessed me with.”

It’s possible that the couple’s appearance together could be a soft rollout for something more public, as the new season of Basketball Wives premieres on Monday, May 5 at 8 p.m. ET. Reality programs are like that. One debut today, a cameo on the confession couch tomorrow? According to Distractify, Kevin and Brittany appear to be closer than ever after the “2 Phones” rapper’s estranged wife, Dreka Gates, announced her divorce in November 2024.

What are our thoughts, then? With its fantastic lighting and even better captions, is this merely a long-term romance? Is Kevin and Brittany truly experiencing the “this might be the one” phase like their grown-ups?
