Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake’s relationship hasn’t exactly been a secret to their respective Instagram followers. The Idol star has been linked to the musician, whose real name is Danielle Balbuena, since the start of 2023—and the pair appear to be pretty serious.

Prior to her relationship with Balbuena, Depp was once linked to her The King co-star Timothée Chalamet—the actor said he “really loved” Depp after their brief, but PDA-packed romance came to an end in 2020. Depp was also rumored to be involved with Elvis actor, Austin Butler after the pair were spotted out for a date in London. She also had a brief fling with French rapper Yassine Stein in 2021.

Although Depp and Balbuena have kept their relationship fairly low key—which seems intentional—they are very comfortable with offering the public a glimpse at their connection, usually via social media and a rare PDA moment. Below, a complete timeline of Lily Rose-Depp and 070 Shake’s relationship.
