Ice Spice is rumored to be dating New York Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner after she made an appearance on his Instagram.
Some fans have speculated that the duo were soft-launching their relationship after the NFL star posted pictures on Instagram of himself and the Bronx bombshell hanging out together in New York.

“Spice and sauce,” one fan commented on the post, while another joked: “I wasn’t familiar with ur game.”
Ice Spice did little to dispel the romance rumors as she hopped into Gardner’s comments section to say “1,” and then responding to a direct question about if they were dating by crypitcally writing: “GAG.”
The “Deli” hitmaker was previously romantically linked to British rapper Central Cee, but she clarified in an interview with Rolling Stone last year that their relationship was strictly platonic.
“We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out, honestly. We’re just twins,” she said.

However, the closeness between the two rappers did not sit right with Cench’s ex-girlfriend, especially after their flirtatious video for “Did It First.”
Influencer Madeline Argy, who was dating the London MC at the time, said on social media: “I was with you guys knees deep in that comment section asking if we were still together. I tried to have a conversation with him but all he kept saying was, ‘Alright.’”
She added: “I actually tried to understand what was going on and nothing. At this point I’m starting to realize, ‘Oh, this is why girls don’t date rappers.’”
Though Ice Spice has largely kept her love life private since rising to fame in 2022, she did confirm the following year that she was “dating someone.”

However, she opted to keep her partner’s identity hidden as she wanted fans to “keep their focus on what I’m here for, which is music.”
The 25-year-old has also had no shortage of public admirers, with NLE Choppa, the currently incarcerated Max B and even NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal all shooting their shots at her.
