Does Tyriq Withers Have a Girlfriend? All About the ‘Him’ Star’s Relationship Status
Tyriq Withers is the “it” guy right now. He’s already had two major projects come out back-to-back this year: the I Know What You Did Last Summer reboot and the sports horror film Him. Naturally, we all want to know — is he single?
With Withers’ star power on the rise, everyone is curious about his personal life in addition to his professional one. Read on for everything we could find out about his current relationship status and dating history.
Does Tyriq Withers have a girlfriend?
Withers hasn’t revealed much about his love life since his career took off. There’s no telling if he’s single or seeing someone right now, but there’s no sign of a girlfriend on his social media. Withers hasn’t been pictured with a date at any recent red carpet events, either. He also hasn’t spoken about his dating life to any news outlets as of now.
In July 2025, I Know What You Did Last Summer producer Neal H. Moritz said that he hoped the reboot’s stars would find love on set, like Freddie Prinze Jr. and Sarah Michelle Gellar did in the late ’90s. “It was really nice to see them all bond. They all liked each other a lot, which was great,” he told People. “All we need now is two of them to fall in love and get married, and it’ll parallel the first one!”
We still don’t know whether or not Moritz got his wish, but we’re keeping an eye out!
Who has Tyriq Withers dated in the past?
Similarly, Withers hasn’t spoken much about his romantic past, though he did recently recount “the worst date of his life” in an interview with GQ. Shortly after filming Atlanta, he slept on a friend’s couch in Los Angeles. During that time, he met “a very successful young lady” and took her out to dinner.
In his attempt to impress her, Withers presented her with a birthday balloon instead of flowers, which was tied to her chair when they got to the restaurant. At the end of the night, she turned down a to-go box for her barely eaten meal, so Withers asked if he could take it with him. Finally, to cap off the awkward outing, Withers said, “‘I had a fun time with you. You really look lovely. Good night…mi amor.'” He said it was “an insane thing” to call her “mi amor” after only one date.
Still, that wasn’t the last time they saw each other. “Oh, we actually had a second date,” Withers added. “It was lower stakes, we went to some hole-in-the-wall bar, so I was more chill. She was like, ‘I like this version of you.’”
In the same interview, Withers revealed that he almost quit acting after his brother, Kionte, died in a car accident in April 2021. He was on the verge of moving home to help raise his nephew, but his then-partner made him reconsider. “My partner at the time asked me, ‘What would Kionte want?’” Withers recalled. “And I came to the conclusion that the best way to serve my family is to continue on this path of chasing my dreams.”
Though she might not be the partner Withers is referring to, we discovered that Withers used to date a YouTuber named Jaiden Ashlea. Having once run a YouTube channel himself — under the handle @TyriqTV — Withers first collaborated with Jaiden in May 2017. In their first video together, Jaiden identified Withers as a friend, but she calls him her boyfriend in a video they made that October. It’s unclear when exactly they split, but Jaiden married someone else in 2023.
