RAYE has put the Michael B. Jordan dating rumours to rest. Speaking at the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, 27 September, the 'WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!' singer said she and the Oscar-winning Sinners actor are not romantically involved, weeks after a theme park outing sparked online speculation.
'No, we're just friends who like roller coasters,' RAYE said when asked about the pair. The comment points directly back to their 7 August visit to Six Flags Magic Mountain in California, where they were seen riding roller coasters together and quickly became the subject of romance chatter.
RAYE Clears Up the Dating Rumours
The British singer-songwriter, who made BRIT Awards history in 2024 with six wins in one night, kept her answer short but left little room for ambiguity about how she views the relationship. Jordan, who won the 2026 Academy Award for Best Actor for Sinners, has not publicly announced a romance with RAYE. The singer instead described their connection as a friendship while confirming the two are also working together professionally.

Asked about the project involving Jordan, RAYE said she could not share details yet. 'I'm technically not allowed to talk about it because I might get in trouble,' she said, keeping the collaboration under wraps. In another red-carpet interview, she said the two had 'been working on some things' and described them as 'just lovely friends'.

Dating rumours began after RAYE and Jordan were spotted at Six Flags Magic Mountain on 7 August, with real photos and videos showing the two boarding roller coasters together. There was no obvious public display of affection in the footage, but the outing was enough to set off speculation on social media about whether they might be dating.
The rumours later took on a life of their own as AI-generated images purporting to show RAYE and Jordan together began circulating on X. Some depicted the pair kissing or posing together at the 2026 MTV VMAs, despite the scenes being fabricated.

RAYE Is Leaving Love to Chance
The timing has also made the speculation especially visible because romance is already woven into RAYE's current music era. Her 2026 album includes 'WHERE IS MY HUSBAND!', a song about looking for a partner, and she has said her planned third album, And Then She Fell in Love, will not arrive until she actually falls in love. In August, she said she was prepared to wait years rather than force that chapter of her life or music.
At the VMAs, RAYE again said she is open to love without actively chasing it. She said a relationship needs to 'find you naturally' and added that 'love finds you when you stop looking', while explaining that she is focused on work and getting sleep when she can. Her appearance also included a performance of songs from This Music May Contain Hope. and participation in a George Michael tribute, putting the dating question in the middle of an already busy night.
For now, RAYE's answer leaves the Jordan story exactly where she placed it: friendship, roller coasters and a still-secret collaboration. The mystery around their work together remains, but the singer's description of their personal relationship is clear. Whatever the pair are preparing professionally, RAYE is not presenting their Six Flags outing as the start of a romance.
