All We Know About Addison Rae and Omer Fedi's Very Private Love Story
TikTok star and musical artist Addison Rae has been dating music producer Omer Fedi since at least 2021, but sightings and news about the couple is surprisingly rare. As much as Rae lives some aspects of her life in public, she has started to keep other things just for herself. In May 2021, Rae told Hailey Bieber in an episode of Who's in My Bathroom? that her previous relationship with Bryce Hall changed how she felt about sharing her personal romantic life with her followers. 'I think the lesson I learned from [that experience] is just keep your circle small, and keep your fights private, keep you know, intimate things private, and respect each other,' she explained. But Fedi is not an entirely unknown figure. He has a lot of cred in the music industry as not only an accomplished guitarist, but as a producer and songwriter. He has co-written hits like 'Montero (Call Me by Your Name)' with Lil Nas X and 'Mood' with 24kGoldn. With so much in common, Fedi and Rae naturally step into the spotlight with one another from time to time. Here is a complete timeline of Addison Rae and Omer Fedi's relationship so far. Rae joined Kourtney Kardashian and Megan Fox at a Machine Gun Kelly show, where Fedi was playing guitar. In pics, Rae can be seen smiling and taking in the music. Fans were already speculating on whether she was there to support anyone in particular when the pair was seen together alone a few days later in West Hollywood, shopping at Erewhon. Rae confirmed she was dating somebody when she posted a video of two shadows kissing in her Instagram Stories in early July. Fans kept careful record of comments and likes made by Fedi and Rae on one another's Instagram accounts in the early days of their dating. Then in August, they were seen sharing a kiss in Los Angeles after a lunch date at Ono Hawaiian BBQ. The cat was out of the bag! On August 21, Fedi shared a selfie with Rae on his Instagram Story, writing over it, 'She's wearing the pants in the relationship.' A few days later, E! shared photos of them holding hands in West Hollywood. At the end of the month, Fedi celebrated him and Rae having moments of success at the same time. A song he co-produced, 'Stay' by The Kid LAROI, broke onto Billboard's Hot 100 chart. Rae's Netflix movie He's All That reached the streaming service's top 10 list. In another Instagram Story, Fedi wrote, 'Me and my baby are both number 1 atm. I'm so so proud of her. Wonder if we the first couple to ever do that with movie and a song? Anyway love you babe.' They were photographed walking around in Los Angeles and wearing masks for some privacy and protection. By October, things were clearly very serious: Rae posted about Fedi on TikTok, her most beloved platform. On her 21st birthday, she appeared with him in a TikTok, lip-synching the words, 'Stop treating me like some girl that's obsessed with you.' She then gave him a kiss. Fans asked for a pic of the couple during one of Rae's Instagram Stories Q&As, and she gave them a black-and-white pic where they're reaching their tongues toward one another. The couple enjoyed the New Year in Turks and Caicos. Rae has since deleted photos from their trip. The couple posed for official photos at Paris Fashion Week, attending the Mônot show on March 5. In another public display, they attended Vanity Fair's Oscar Party, but they were not photographed on the red carpet, just leaving afterwards in matching black. They made their debut on the red carpet at the 64th Annual Grammy Awards, where Fedi was nominated for the first time for production work on Lil Nas X's hit song 'Montero (Call Me By Your Name).' Rae attended the Met Gala in 2022 by herself, but they appeared to meet up afterwards. In a now-deleted photo, Fedi showed Rae eating a chicken nugget wearing her red carpet outfit. That same month, they went to the 70th Annual BMI Pop Awards in Beverly Hills. Photographers caught the couple sharing an adorable embrace in Los Angeles. They were spotted deep in conversation in Los Angeles in August. The Daily Mail shared pics of Rae and Fedi at Zero Bond with friends Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz. Rae helped Fedi cut off his signature hot red hair, seen in photos featured in a TikTok by creator @alexandrabellusci. Rae offered a rare comment on her relationship in an interview with British Vogue, describing a trip she took to Japan 'with my boyfriend for New Year 2023. When the clock struck midnight, I got my fortune read at the Sensoji temple, the oldest Buddhist temple in Tokyo,' she said. In a rare update, Rae confirmed she and Fedi were still dating in an early 2025 interview with Rolling Stone. The publication described Fedi as Rae's 'boyfriend' in her cover story. 'I'm very guarded when it comes to relationships because my first public relationship taught me a lot about myself,' Rae said, speaking of her ex Bryce Hall. 'That was a shit show. He was very vocal about everything, and it was a mess.' In an interview with ELLE, Rae made some comments about the different types of relationships in her life. 'I think all relationships in my life right now are going through a transformation in a lot of ways, whether that's good or bad or confusing or not,' she explained. 'And I think it's just a lot of self-confrontation right now in these moments, and just figuring out what I really want to do and what feels right.'

Billie Eilish Makes History — Again — As She Holds At No. 1 with 'Birds of a Feather'
Billie Eilish is still on top of the rock world. The Grammy-winning singer claims the most popular track in the genre again in the U.S. this week, holding atop one important tally with 'Birds of a Feather.' The cut has ruled over Billboard's Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for months, and with each additional frame it spends at No. 1, it continues to make history. This time around, it breaks out of a tie with another longstanding win and inches closer to forming another. Eilish's 'Birds of a Feather' is once again in charge of the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart. The cut has now spent 36 turns inside the penthouse, which is one of the longest reigns of all time. Last week, the track was in a deadlock with 24KGoldn and Iann Dior's 'Mood,' which also spent 35 frames at No. 1. Now, Eilish has officially pulled ahead. At this point, it's hard to imagine anything knocking 'Birds of a Feather' from the top spot, at least not anytime soon. The track continues to be consumed in huge numbers throughout America, and if it manages to repeat at No. 1 next frame — which seems likely — it will match another giant. 'Heat Waves' by Glass Animals ruled the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for 37 weeks. Eilish will likely tie that song in just a few days, and then, perhaps, pass it. Eilish is inching ever closer to the top spot on this historic ranking, but there's still quite a gap before she can claim the all-time record. That honor still belongs to Panic! at the Disco, whose smash 'High Hopes' sat at No. 1 on the Hot Rock & Alternative Songs chart for a staggering 65 weeks. That showing still seems untouchable, even for 'Birds of a Feather.' Even as it nears its one-year anniversary, 'Birds of a Feather' shows no signs of slowing down. This week, it only barely falls out of the top 10 on the Hot 100, slipping one spot to No. 11. The cut also ranks inside the top 10 on all three of Billboard's pop-focused airplay charts. On the rock side of things, it's still the No. 1 song on both the Hot Alternative Songs and Alternative Streaming Songs lists.

Houston government softens language in transportation bill
The Houston government has softened language in a bill that would give it sweeping new powers over transit and transportation infrastructure throughout the province, but the advocacy group for Nova Scotia municipalities remains concerned it still isn't enough. The original language in the proposed changes to the Joint Regional Transportation Agency Act suggested the province could unilaterally undertake projects to build or remove infrastructure, or "do anything necessary" to ensure the smooth movement of people and goods. According to Bill 24, the provincial government could simply pass on the cost of the work to a municipality once the project was completed. The Federation of Nova Scotia Municipalities, the organization that speaks for the province's municipal governments, called that original language "tremendously concerning." Amendments introduced Tuesday during debate on the bill noted the province would try to consult and negotiate with municipalities on projects it felt were necessary. "The cost of any work undertaken … shall be apportioned between the municipality and the Crown in right of the Province in the manner agreed upon by them," said one amendment. But the next amendment made it clear the province would keep its power to pass along the costs, if there was no agreement between the parties. Thrust of bill still 'a huge concern' Pam Mood, president of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities, said the thrust of the bill remains "a huge concern." "What it said before is we are going to come in, we're going to tell you this is what needs to be done, we're going to tell you to do it and if you don't do it in a reasonable amount of time, we're going to come in and do it and bill you," said Mood, the mayor of Yarmouth. "But now it … basically says apportioning costs of work in a manner agreed upon. We'll have to sit down and figure out how that [will] work." The proposed legislation now says the municipal affairs minister will "make reasonable efforts" to consult the federation and municipalities "impacted by ministerial action taken pursuant to this Act." Mood wasn't impressed with that change either. "That doesn't equal doing so," she said. "When you say I'll make an effort to do something, you're saying if it happens, it happens, if it doesn't, it doesn't. That's simply not enough." During an exchange with reporters intended to explain the changes, Public Works Minister Fred Tilley downplayed how upset some municipal leaders had been with the original version of the bill. "Well, it was just discussion that we had around the way the language read," said Tilley. "So we agreed with our partners and adjusted the language accordingly to make the bill more about what we were attempting to do."

Trade war will 'hurt us both,' Canadian delegation tells American municipal leaders
A Nova Scotia municipal leader on a recent Canadian delegation to Washington, D.C., says the group stressed to their American counterparts the current trade war will make life more expensive for citizens on both sides of the border. Yarmouth Mayor Pam Mood was part of a Federation of Canadian Municipalities delegation that attended the National League of Cities conference on Sunday and Monday. "We're here as friends, allies, neighbours forever, to help share that message so that you understand that it is going to hurt us both," Mood said in an interview Wednesday, summing up the message they delivered. Mood said it was an "eye-opening" experience for her, and she met some mayors from the United States who didn't know tariffs had been imposed, or what their impacts would be. That's why it was especially important to spread awareness among local politicians, Mood said. She's hopeful those mayors and councillors will press their governors for change once they return home. "I think we know how politicians react when the people on the ground are screaming. It may not work with this [U.S.] administration, but we have to do everything we can," Mood said. Mood said she and the other group members, an Ottawa city councillor and the mayor of Dorval, Que., gave presentations and spoke with various municipal leaders about the reality of the tariff fight. They discussed how the price of new homes and cars will go up for both Canadian and American buyers, Mood said, and highlighted how farmers in the U.S. rely heavily on Canadian potash for their fertilizer. California cities like Los Angeles affected by devastating fires will also find it more difficult and expensive to source lumber from Canada to rebuild homes, Mood said. "The No. 1 thing we got were apologies. You know, 'We're so sorry this is happening to you. You're Canada, you've been our friend, you've been our ally,'" Mood said. "And, you know, the message back was, 'Listen, we know it's not the people, and we're sorry as well, because you're going to hurt. We're going to hurt. And none of us wants this." U.S. Vice-President J.D. Vance spoke at the conference, and Mood said he focused on the importance of local governance and housing. But she said he didn't address how tariffs will lead to construction cost increases for those housing projects. Joly urges Americans to 'send a message' to White House to end tariffs 6 hours ago Duration 1:48 "I could have responded every time to say 'But that's not quite it. You know, you're leaving out the hurtful impacts,' and that's what's important to these people on the ground," Mood said. The only mention Vance made of tensions between the countries was when he said how pleased he was to see Canada moving to "tighten the border" to prevent drugs from flowing into the U.S., Mood said. President Donald Trump has cited fentanyl crossing into the U.S. from Canada as justification for his administration's tariffs. The U.S. government's own data shows Canada is not a significant source of illegal fentanyl with less than 20 kilograms of the drug seized at the northern border last year. The Canadian delegation also met with the Democratic Mayors Association, Mood said, and Columbus, Ohio, Mayor Andrew Ginther, president of the United States Conference of Mayors. Mood said they asked to meet with the Republican Mayors Association as well. They were told that group would get back to them "but they didn't." Although Mood said she understands the pressure of not wanting to upset higher levels of Republican government who "hold the chequebook," those in public service should have a loyalty to their residents first, she said. The latest volley in the trade saga came Wednesday when Trump placed a 25 per cent tariff on Canadian steel and aluminum. In response, the Canadian government slapped tariffs

Municipalities call for changes to 'tremendously concerning' N.S. transportation bill
The advocacy group for Nova Scotia municipalities has asked for changes to a bill that would allow the province to charge towns and regions for new transportation infrastructure, a power that is "tremendously concerning" to their members. The Progressive Conservative government's proposed Bill 24 grants sweeping powers to the public works minister over transportation and transit decisions. It states the minister could order a municipality to build or remove infrastructure, and "do anything necessary" to ensure the smooth movement of people and goods. If that work isn't done in a "reasonable time," the province could complete it — and the cost would become a municipal debt owed to the province. Pam Mood, Yarmouth mayor and president of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities, said dozens of mayors, wardens and senior municipal staff met last week to talk about the pending legislation. She said there was a "huge fear" that municipalities would receive a bill they couldn't afford, pushing them into bankruptcy because of their inability to run deficits. "There were pieces like that that were tremendously concerning," Mood said last Thursday. NSFM members were also worried about municipal autonomy being removed "without a conversation," Mood said. But Mood said she had a positive meeting with Municipal Affairs Minister John Lohr and Public Works Minister Fred Tilley late last week. Mood said the ministers told her the PC government does not intend to take dramatic steps such as billing a municipality for project work, and are open to clarifying wording that would "take away the angst" and concerns. "That's certainly not the province's intention. They understand, like we do, whatever is good for municipalities is good to uplift the entire province," Mood said. But Mood said a wording change is important. "We can't have municipalities out there believing something that simply won't happen," she said. "Because when it's in the legislation, it's saying it can happen." Mayor Elspeth McLean-Wile of the District of Lunenburg said she isn't comfortable with the bill's wording. In a rural district made up of mostly provincial roads and few municipally-owned streets, McLean-Wile said she's concerned the minister could force the municipality to pay for improvements to provincial roadways. McLean-Wile said municipal leaders are very aware of the importance of improving transportation and transit, and would be happy to collaborate with the government on a provincewide approach. "One has to wonder, why does the province believe it needs that new power? And why would it not work with us to figure out solutions to this that could help meet their objectives, without jeopardizing the tax base and increasing the tax burden on municipal government?" McLean-Wile said. "It isn't clear what the intent is behind this, and that is worrisome." Bill 24 also changes the Joint Regional Transportation Agency (JRTA) to Link Nova Scotia, broadening its scope to the entire province instead of Halifax and surrounding areas. The JRTA's final report has yet to be released, but the province has announced pieces, like a Halifax light-rail study and new highway connectors. Link N.S. will be able to acquire or build transportation assets, manage a transit service, and prepare a province-wide plan to improve transportation. Mayor Cecil Clarke of the Cape Breton Regional Municipality said he's glad to see the province owning the transportation file, and is hopeful Link Nova Scotia's work could lead to expanded transit, port capacity, and light rail in CBRM. "This brings me to a table we weren't at a year ago, so I'll treat it as an opportunity rather than a threat," said Clarke, a former Progressive Conservative MLA. Bill 24 also states a municipality's regulations, bylaws and policies for transportation must be reasonably consistent with plans from the provincial government and Link N.S. But Coun. Kathryn Morse of the Halifax Regional Municipality said she's concerned those provincial priorities might not always align with the capital city's — the latest example being Premier Houston's decision to remove the Halifax bridge tolls in April. "It's going to increase traffic. It's not ideal in terms of managing traffic to remove tolls," said Morse, adding that cities like London and New York have gone in the opposite direction with congestion pricing. "We're taking our existing congestion pricing away at not the best time. So to me, the whole toll removal, the way it was done is kind of a cautionary tale when it comes to Bill 24," Morse said. CBC asked Halifax Mayor Andy Fillmore's office for reaction to Bill 24, but did not receive a response. Mayor Mood said conversations with the PC government will continue as the bill moves through Province House. The legislation was introduced on Feb.20, and has yet to pass second reading or the law amendments committee.
