Is Xavier Legette's steamy kiss with GloRilla a PR stunt or a real love story in the making?
Xavier Legette is rumored to be dating Grammy-nominated rapper GloRilla (Getty Images) NFL wide receiver Xavier Legette is used to making headlines with his performance on the field, but lately, it's his off-field moves that have fans buzzing. The Carolina Panthers' rising star has stirred up major attention after appearing as rapper GloRilla's love interest in her latest music video 'Typa. ' From their sultry bedroom scenes to the chemistry they radiated on camera, fans are left wondering—are these two simply collaborators, or is there something more? What's really going on between Xavier Legette and GloRilla after that passionate on-screen kiss? Xavier Legette, known for his Southern charm, viral accent, and unapologetically bold style, isn't new to the social media spotlight. But this time, it's not about his unique personality or his love for raccoons—yes, really—it's about the steamy visuals shared with the Grammy-nominated rapper. Featured on the cover art of 'Typa,' Legette is seen getting extremely close with GloRilla, setting the tone for a music video that's intimate, eye-catching, and loaded with relationship rumors. GloRilla – Typa (Official Music Video) In the video, which dropped Friday morning, the 24-year-old NFL wideout and the 'Tomorrow' hitmaker take their roles beyond surface-level flirtation. At one point, GloRilla, clad in white lingerie, shares a passionate kiss with a shirtless Legette in what looks like a heated bedroom rendezvous. This scene—arguably the most talked-about part—has viewers speculating whether the duo's chemistry is strictly professional or crossing into something personal. Adding more intrigue to the storyline is R&B icon Keyshia Cole, who makes a cameo during a mid-video conversation with GloRilla. Given that 'Typa' samples Cole's classic track 'Love,' her presence adds nostalgic weight and another layer of authenticity to the video. But for many, it's Legette and GloRilla who have stolen the show. What has added fuel to the romantic speculation is the fact that neither GloRilla nor Legette has publicly addressed the nature of their relationship. Legette, who just wrapped a stellar rookie season with 49 receptions, nearly 500 receiving yards, and four touchdowns, has kept his personal life under wraps since his 2024 draft into the NFL. Similarly, GloRilla has rarely let fans in on her private affairs—until now. 'The lyrics of 'Typa' talk about her love for a country man with, uh, other features (just listen for yourself),' which makes Legette a fitting choice for the role. Whether this is a savvy PR move blending music and sports for mutual clout, or the beginning of something genuine, remains to be seen. Either way, it's one of the most talked-about crossovers of the year. So, is it all a calculated move or the spark of something real? As fans wait for confirmation—serious dating rumors or just another collaboration?
