Why Did The Kid LAROI and Tate McRae Break Up? They Say They're Still on Good Terms
Fans who followed the romance between The Kid LAROI and Tate McRae over the past year and a half probably saw the warning signs: digital silence, then an official word from LAROI himself finally putting rumors to rest. Here’s what really happened—without dragging you through the same details twice.
The Kid LAROI’s Social Media Post: "We Are on Good Terms"
July 25, 2025 was when things got real—LAROI broke his silence on X, addressing not only breakup rumors but also slamming gossip about his team being behind negative posts about McRae. Instead of vague platitudes, he flat-out said, "Tate and I are on good terms." That put a pin in endless speculation and showed there’s no big drama behind the split. For fans who hate Instagram unfollows and subtweet soap operas, it was just refreshing candor.
On X/Twitter, @thekidlaroi: "Just to clarify, I have absolutely nothing to do with this and I do not support this behavior at all. I'm working to get these removed."
On Instagram, @billboard: "The Kid LAROI and Tate McRae have apparently split after over a year of dating. In a recent post on X, LAROI confirmed they’re on good terms and addressed rumors that his team was spreading negative posts about McRae to promote his new song, "Hot Girl Problems."

The Rise of Breakup Rumors
Everyone loves clues, and this story had plenty, even if they all pointed toward the same conclusion. First, they stopped interacting publicly—no comments, collabs, or birthday shoutouts, which for a hyper-online couple says a lot. But what really got fans talking was LAROI still talking up Tate in interviews, praising her work ethic even as their appearances together flatlined. The gap between public praise and private reality made the rumors hit harder.
When Did the Breakup Happen?
This piece’s a bit of a moving target. The Oscar party in March was their last public hurrah. From then, sightings faded completely. Gossip flared up with those boat photos of Tate, but neither side clarified the timing, so it stayed ambiguous. Still, silence itself was loud here—when two celebrities go from visible to invisible overnight, something shifted.
The Couple’s Journey Together
No one can deny these two made a splash. What started as a few playful comments in early 2024 rolled into full-on public couple status that summer, with plenty of social media love and their collab on “I Know Love.” They supported each other’s careers, showed off the goofy and the glamorous sides, and seemed genuinely close—even if the industry spotlight always added pressure.
What Led to the Split?
This one’s all guessing and reading between the lines. LAROI’s “Hot Girl Problems” fueled breakup rumors, but lyrics weren’t explicit, and neither star aired dirty laundry. Juggling solo careers, distance, nonstop touring? Probably didn’t help. Serious fans get it: relationships under a microscope feel doomed, especially with two people at the heart of mega pop moments. At least in the official word from LAROI, they’re choosing friendship over tabloid mess.
So, did they break up? Yes. Was it messy? Not even a bit. Both say they’re still on good terms, and that’s about as healthy as these Hollywood splits get. Fans get a bit of honest closure—and maybe even hope for a future musical team-up, just minus the romance this time.
