Joseph Quinn is dating Doja Cat, two years after her tweet about how fine Quinn is sent her into Noah Schnapp’s DMs and sparked a war between them.
According to reports, Doja Cat has sparked an intense relationship with Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn which appears to have been going on for some time now.
The news was revealed by gossip accounts on social media, starting with a photo from the celebrity gossip page DeuxMoi, which contained a message from an anonymous source claiming Doja Cat and Quinn are dating.
That was soon backed up after paparazzi’s for the popular UK tabloid The Sun managed to snap Doja and Quinn hanging out at a pub Saturday night.
An eyewitness told the publication: “It very much looked like they were together. They were acting like a couple. He had his arm around her, then she put her arm around him. He kissed her on the head at one point,”
X (formerly Twitter) and other social media platforms then started getting flooded with videos showing Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn hanging out in London. The duo, displaying loved-up body language, were reportedly captured walking hand-in-hand through the streets of London.

This is because while it might look like an exciting new romance, this has been a relationship two years in the making with a peculiar history.
Doja Cat Started Crushing On Joseph Quinn After He Joined Noah Schnapp on Cast of Stranger Things
Shortly after Joseph Quinn joined Stranger Things in Season Four, Doja Cat jumped on social media to tweet that she has a massive crush on him.
“Joseph Quinn fine as sh*t,” Doja Cat said in a tweet that unknown to everyone was about to spark some heavy drama with Noah Schnapp.
In another fawning post, a social media user shared an image of Quinn and said no one should be that handsome. Doja Cat replied that his level of attractiveness borders on the criminal!
After her public fawning, Doja Cat got to work. She messaged Noah Schnapp, who she appeared to have a friendly prior relationship with to ask about how to get in touch with Joseph Quinn.

“Noah, can you tell Joseph to hmu [hit me up],” she wrote in a private DM to Schnapp, adding as an afterthought “wait no. does he have a gf?”
Schnapp replied that Doja should simply slide into Quinn’s DM’s but she said she does not know his social media pages. He replied by sending them to her with the message, “Right here, ma’am,”
While seemingly a simple interaction beyond celebrity friends that should not have caused any drama, what happened next ensured it did. Noah somehow decided to share their private chat in a TikTok video that completely incensed Doja Cat.
Cat then went live on Instagram to completely dress down Schnapp for his decision to release their private chats.
She said while she did not explicitly forbid him from releasing them, she didn’t think she had to because it is pretty obvious to any right thinking person that a private DM is supposed to remain private.
Despite her anger over his actions, Doja Cat expressed some degree of empathy, realizing that Schnapp was still a kid at the time and kids make d*mb mistakes. However, she said she had to call it out so he knows not to mess up that way the next time.
She said: “…Noah is a kid, I don’t even know how old he is. But he’s not even over— like, there’s no way he’s over 21. When you’re that young, you make mistakes. You do dumb shit. I’m trying to be super fair. You do dumb sh*t, you say dumb sh*t, you f*cking f*ck up relationships with people. You make mistakes,”
She added: “You’re supposed to so that you know not to do that in the future,”
Doja Cat said she’s struggling to understand what motivated his actions but she believes it’s simply a weird ego trip for him. She described his actions as degrading and exploitative.
“There’s just something very weird, it’s very degrading and exploitative behavior,” she said. “And it’s embarrassing, it’s, like, super embarrassing.”
Noah quickly deleted the video after her Instagram Live, and later said that he apologized to Doja Cat and that there’s no hard feelings between.
Things worked out pretty well in the end it seems, with Doja Cat now dating Joseph Quinn and her relationship with Noah Schnapp repaired.
