10 Celebrities That You May Just Find on a Dating App

Celebs. They really are just like us. Or at least they are in some aspects of their lives. Take dating, for example. It’s no secret that dating apps have surged in popularity in recent years, but with all of the lockdowns over the past 12 months it’s basically the only safe way to meet people nowadays. And that applies to celebrities, too.

While some of these notable personalities have been known to swipe left or right over the years, others entered the virtual dating pool on a whim. And, in some cases, the celebs in question have even gone on to find fulfilling relationships, proving that love isn’t dead after all. Read on to see which celebs you may encounter the next time you’re wading through the virtual dating pool.

Drew Barrymore

Drew Barrymore has been more than candid while discussing her personal life on her new daytime talk show. Since the series’ debut she’s reunited with her ex, Tom Green, revealed that she was mortified after once being stood up on a blind date, and admitted that after binge-watching a certain hot-and-heavy TV series she finally joined a dating app. “I got back on a dating app during Bridgerton,” she recently admitted while chatting up series stars Regé-Jean Page and Phoebe Dynevor. “I was like, ‘I’m not dead! I’m not dead!’ For me, that was a big step.”

Andy Cohen

Anyone crushing on Real Housewives producer and talk show host Andy Cohen may have some luck sliding into his DMs on Tinder. Maybe. In a January chat with This Is Us star Chrissy Metz (who met her current boyfriend, Bradley Collins, on Bumble), Cohen revealed that he’s on Tinder but he doesn't use it much. That coul be because he’s been kicked off in the past after people accused him of impersonating… himself. Oops.

Lizzo

Always one to bless us with deets, Lizzo once revealed to Busy Phillips on her former talk show that she’s dabbled with dating apps in the past. “I’ve done Raya,” she said, referring to the high-end app that only “famous” or “influencer” type people can join. “I tried to match with John Mayer—it didn’t work.” The “Truth Hurts” singer then revealed that she finds Raya boring, and that she’s definitely had more fun with some of the “lower-echelon dating apps” in the past.

Laverne Cox

Laverne Cox has recently opened up about finding love during the pandemic with a mystery man. In January she revealed to People that she is taking a new relationship nice and slow, and doing what she can to keep it out of the public eye. And while she hasn’t confirmed how she met her new man, she has been known to check out profiles on dating apps in the past. “Honestly, I’m a Tinder girl,” she once told People. “When I broke up with my ex, I went back on Tinder, because I feel like if you want to date, you have to be on the apps. You have to be on the apps to be in the game,” she added.

Chace Crawford

Hey upper East Siders. Looking for love? You might want to start swiping. Although Chace Crawford, AKA Nate Archibald himself, has been with model Maya Henry since August 2019, he previously revealed in an interview with Now magazine that he had, “A bunch of different accounts that nobody even knows about.” In other words it turns out Chace was into the virtual chase... even if only for a little while.

Kiernan Shipka

When you grow up in the spotlight like former Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka, and continue a public career playing a notable character like Sabrina on Netflix’s Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, we imagine it’s hard to have regular dating life. That’s probably why this actor was so fond of dating apps once upon a time. “Raya for life,” she revealed to Stylist in early 2018. “Love it. God bless Raya,” she added. It’s unclear if she met current flame, Christian Coppola, on the high-end app, but if she did we’d say that’s one heck of a success story, wouldn’t you?

Niall Horan

No one knew what direction singer Niall Horan would head in following his 2018 split from Dickinson star Hailee Steinfeld, but inside sources revealed at the time that it was straight onto a dating app. “When his profile started popping up on Raya, it became clear that he’s single and back on the dating scene,” an unnamed source told Goss.ie. These days the former One Direction member is with Amelia Woolley, a designer shoe buyer. And while some fans suspect they met through Raya, all we know for sure is that they met in London.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato doesn’t hold much back from her fans, and that includes details of her dating life. In her 2017 documentary film Simply Complicated, Lovato admitted that she’s used Raya in the past. “I am on the dating app with both guys and girls,” she explained at the time. “I am open to human connection, so whether that’s through a male or female, it doesn’t matter to me.”

John Mayer

Ever wonder how John Mayer meets some of those famous ladies he’s been linked to over the years (like Taylor Swift, Jessica Simpson, and Katy Perry)? Rumour has it he has been pretty intimate with Raya over the years. According to GQ, Mayer's profile is a slideshow set to a Neil Young song, so interested ladies have some music to jam out to while they decide whether or not to go down that particular dating path.

Tiffany Haddish

In 2020 actor Tiffany Haddish made headlines when she went on a virtual Bumble date with Common. “I wore the black dress (drawers optional) for my @bumble virtual date with @common this weekend,” she wrote on social media. “He sent me flowers, we ordered food, and we talked into the night. Sending you love at home.” Seems like the pair definitely hit it off, because fast forward to today and the Girls Trip star and Common are reportedly still in a relationship. Maybe love isn’t dead after all, huh?
