'Riverdale' actor Madelaine Petsch, 32, splits from Tyga, People reports
The Riverdale actor and rapper first sparked dating speculation at a Lakers game but never publicly confirmed a relationship.
Madelaine Petsch and Tyga have split more than a year after they first sparked romance rumors, People reported, citing multiple sources. Neither the "Riverdale" actress nor the rapper publicly confirmed a relationship.
Petsch, 32, and Tyga, 36, first prompted dating speculation in February 2025 when they sat courtside at a Los Angeles Lakers game. Tyga's real name is Michael Ray Stevenson.
About two months before news of the split, they were seen on an affectionate date at the opening night of Scary Farm at Knott's Berry Farm theme park in Buena Park, California.
A source close to the couple told People in September that they were "really happy" and that Petsch had spent time with Tyga's son. Tyga and his ex Blac Chyna have a 13-year-old son, King Cairo.
Around the time dating rumors began, Petsch said earlier on the "Call Her Daddy" podcast that she would keep her relationships out of the conversation and declined to address the speculation.
"And the reality is, I know I'm on a show where I should be talking about my relationships, but like, I'm not going to," Petsch said during that earlier podcast appearance.
Petsch said earlier on the podcast that separating her public and private lives had been difficult. "I am at a place in my life where I've been a public figure for 10 years and I've tried to navigate my private and my public lives for a very long time, not very well," she said.
"I think that's one thing I learned is really important: consistency in a partner. Kindness. Love. It's like, honestly not that hard, I think, to be in a good relationship. Communication. Support for my career," Petsch said earlier on the show. She added, "Trust is really important."
Roughly a week after the Lakers game, Petsch and Tyga were seen with their arms linked at a Vanity Fair party. An onlooker said they remained close to each other throughout the event and sat side by side. Photographers later captured them leaving the party together and getting into the same car.
The pair were seen together at another party at Bar Marmont, where they spent time with Petsch's former "Riverdale" co-star Lili Reinhart and Reinhart's boyfriend, Jack Martin.
Before his relationship with Petsch, Tyga dated singer Avril Lavigne on and off from February to October 2023. Petsch previously dated actor and musician Travis Mills and music manager Anthony Li.
