Los Angeles Lakers forward Rui Hachimura has emphatically rejected speculation that he's dating Doja Cat.

A satire Instagram account known as Durant shared a post on Wednesday (Jan. 28) claiming Hachimura and Doja Cat are dating amid rumors of her being linked to an unknown NBA player. Hachimura shut down speculation of a romance in the comments, writing, "Mann fuk no😂"

Us Weekly reported Hachimura has been linked to Briana Delgado, a fitness influencer based in Los Angeles, since 2021. However, it cannot be confirmed that they are still in a relationship.

Doja Cat was rumored to be dating actor Joseph Quinn in Aug. 2024 after the two were seen together at a concert and holding hands while walking down a street in London. Their alleged romance came two years after Noah Schnapp shared DMs he exchanged with the Grammy winner, who asked him to set her up with his Stranger Things co-star.

In a Sept. 2025 interview with the New York Times, Doja seemingly implied that she and Quinn were no longer together, saying she's "just having fun" and "allowing things to happen."
