The Kid Laroi Spotted with New Girlfriend in LA

They debuted their hot new romance in January. 

And Australian rapper , 22, couldn't keep his hands off new girlfriend Sophie HM as they stepped out for a breakfast date in on Tuesday. 

The couple were spotted making their way to a local restaurant when Laroi, real name Charlton Kenneth Jeffrey Howard, suddenly pulled Sophie close and planted a kiss on her cheek. 

The amorous act - while well intentioned - seemed to take Sophie by surprise, making his smooch rather awkward. 

Laroi dressed down for the occasion, dressing in a navy hoodie and blue trousers, paired with black sneakers and white crew socks. 

The Thousand Miles hitmaker also sported a newly-bleached buzzcut for the occasion. 

Instagram model Sophie meanwhile sported a red T-shirt bunched at the waist, blue cargo pants, sunglasses and flip-flops. 

Laroi and Sophie made their public debut at the Australian Open in January, sitting side-by-side in the audience as they watched Carlos Alcaraz on centre court at Melbourne Park.

The pair looked chuffed to be in each other's company as their eyes were glued to the action on the court. 

There was some time for some fraternising, though, with Laroi spotted holding her hand at one point. 

The sighting came after Laroi called time on his relationship with pop star Tate McRae in July 2025, after a year of dating. 

He appeared to confirm their split when he said the pair were 'on good terms' after fans accused his team of paying for 'slander tweets' against her. 

Speaking about the split in December, McRae told Rolling Stone that she felt 'overwhelmed' with the scrutiny.

'It was really scary and overwhelming, I would never talk that way, even about my friends' lives,' McRae said.
