Tate McRae sparks new romance claims after being spotted hand-in-hand with rapper The Kid LAROI at NHL All-Star Game
SINGER Tate McRae has been spotted getting very close to a new man during a public outing.
The pop star was seen holding hands with The Kid LAROI in Toronto, Canada, on Saturday.
In the new pics, Tate, 20, was spotted with rapper The Kid Laroi, 20 - real name Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard - at the Alobar Yorkville.
The duo had just been out with fellow celebrity couple, Justin and Hailey Bieber.
The group's dinner came after the NHL All-Star Game, for which Justin and Tate were celebrity captains.
For the outing, both Canadian singer Tate and her date dressed casually, with Tate in jeans and a leather motorcycle jacket.

Her Australian-born beau, meanwhile, opted for an ice hockey jersey and a baseball cap.
As they left dinner, the duo openly held hands as they headed out onto the street, seemingly confirming dating rumors.
The duo first sparked speculation of romance when they were spotted together in California last month.
Tate and The Kid LAROI were seen heading out for dinner at celeb hotspot Giorgio Baldi.

Even before their Los Angeles outing, the duo were reported to have spent time together on vacation.
The jet-setting couple were supposedly seen in Mexico, enjoying time away with their friends.
LUCKY NO. 3?
Before her rumored romance with The Kid LAROI, Tate had a couple of other high-profile romances.
She was previously in a relationship with Jonny Hader from 2019 to 2021.
According to his LinkedIn, Jonny is set to graduate from the Ivey Business School at Western University in 2024.
The student and finance worker was also the camera operator and cinematographer for McRae's You Broke Me First music video in 2020.
Tate reportedly had a slight overlap with Jonny and her following boyfriend, Cole Sillinger, with whom she went Instagram official with in late 2021.
Cole is a professional ice hockey center for the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets.
The duo's romance was relatively short-lived, however, and they sparked breakup rumors in early 2023 when he deleted all photos of Tate from his Instagram.
ALL-STAR
Relationships aside, Tate won over fans with her performance at the 2024 NHL All-Star Game.
Viewers at home were stunned by her halftime show, and claimed that Usher would have big shoes to fill for his own set at the Super Bowl.
"Cancel the game and just have her concert," one fan wrote under a clip of the performance on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"Whatever this is > Usher," a second said.
