RAYE has addressed the RAYE Michael B. Jordan dating rumors that began after the singer and actor were spotted together at Six Flags Magic Mountain last month.
Speaking during the 2026 MTV Video Music Awards on September 27, RAYE made it clear that she and Jordan are not romantically involved. The singer described them as friends who share a love of roller coasters.
The comments came weeks after the pair were seen together at the California amusement park, prompting speculation about a possible relationship.
RAYE Says She and Michael B. Jordan Are Just Friends
RAYE addressed the relationship speculation while speaking with Extra at the VMAs.
When asked whether there was anything romantic between her and the Oscar-nominated actor, she dismissed the rumors and explained that they are simply friends.
She also revealed that the two are working on something together. However, RAYE stopped short of sharing specific details about the project.
“I’m technically not allowed to talk about it because I might get in trouble,” she said, according to coverage of her VMAs appearance.
RAYE also spoke with Entertainment Tonight at the event and described their friendship as a positive one while confirming that they have been working together.
The Six Flags outing sparked the speculation
The RAYE and Michael B. Jordan dating rumors followed their August 7 visit to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Valencia, California.
Photos and fan footage from the outing showed the pair enjoying rides together. Their appearance quickly attracted attention online, with some fans wondering whether the two were dating.
RAYE’s comments at the VMAs have now provided a direct response to that speculation.
RAYE Is Still Open to Finding Love
Although RAYE denied that she and Jordan are a couple, she has been open about wanting to experience love.
The singer recently explained that she has grown tired of writing music mainly from the perspective of heartbreak, failed relationships and loneliness.
As a result, she has said she is putting her next album, And Then She Fell in Love, on hold until she actually falls in love. RAYE described the decision as being “on strike” from making an album and suggested that the wait could potentially be lengthy.
At the VMAs, she also indicated that she is not trying to force a romantic relationship. Instead, she said she is concentrating on her work and allowing love to happen naturally.
Michael B. Jordan Has Also Spoken About Dating
Jordan has previously discussed his approach to relationships.
In a February 2025 GQ interview, the actor said he was heavily focused on his career and was not rushing into a relationship. He explained that he would want a future partner to fit naturally into his life and emphasized the importance of timing.
Jordan’s most widely reported public relationship was with Lori Harvey. The pair split in 2022, and Jordan later spoke about his approach to dating following the breakup.
RAYE and Jordan Have a Professional Connection
While the romantic rumors have been put to rest, the two stars do appear to have a professional connection.
RAYE confirmed that she and Jordan are working on a project but did not reveal what it involves. She also indicated that she could not discuss the details publicly yet.
That means their recent Six Flags outing may have been exactly what RAYE described it as: two friends spending time together while also working on a project.
For now, RAYE’s message is straightforward. She and Michael B. Jordan are friends, while her search for love remains a separate part of her life.
RAYE Continues to Build Her Career
The dating speculation comes at a busy point in RAYE’s career.
The British singer appeared at the 2026 MTV VMAs, where she also took part in the show’s George Michael tribute. The ceremony took place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on September 27.
Meanwhile, her comments about waiting for love before making her next album have given fans another glimpse into how her personal experiences influence her songwriting.
For now, however, there is no confirmed romance between RAYE and Michael B. Jordan. Their relationship, based on RAYE’s latest comments, remains a friendship with a professional project in the works.
