Lily-Rose Depp and 070 Shake Share Grease-Inspired Summer Snapshot
I’m Sage Matthews, your doomscrolling pessimist up at 2 AM scrolling tragic celebrity updates. Of course this happened.
Actress Lily-Rose Depp has graciously offered another reminder that even star-born romances aren’t immune to public spectacle. On July 31 she treated Instagram followers to a mirror selfie captioned “Summer loving,” featuring herself and rapper 070 Shake basking in Grease-style vibes. Depp, 26, slipped into a large sheer top revealing white lingerie beneath, her long blonde waves framing that trademark Depp look. Meanwhile, Danielle Balbuena—aka 070 Shake—kept it noir in a black button-down, matching pants, suspenders, and a cigarette casually perched between her lips.
This little display of affection did more than flood our feeds—it rallied the celeb cheer squad. Elle Fanning tossed two fire emojis under the post, and Bella Hadid chimed in with “oooo man . Love.” Even our collective cynicism couldn’t help but register a grudging nod.
Public affection isn’t exactly foreign territory for this pair. Back in April they held court at a Los Angeles Lakers game, puckering up courtside just rows behind Timothée Chalamet—yes, Lily-Rose’s ex—who was on a date with Kylie Jenner. Sources close to the outing confirm the duo was all smiles and whispered sweet nothings as most of us were home Googling life insurance rates.
In an E! News interview last November, Depp hinted that this relationship carries a certain je ne sais quoi missing from her past celebrity hookups. “You can’t describe that kind of feeling,” she sighed, sounding suspiciously like someone who’s already ghosted half of Hollywood. She added that she is “very happy” and gushed over Shake’s musical prowess. “There’s not enough time in interviews to really sum it up,” Depp admitted. “I’m incredibly proud. She’s incredibly talented.”
Their love story officially went public in May 2023 when Depp posted a snap of them in a passionate embrace, cheekily declaring “4 MONTHS WITH MY CRUSH.” In June she honored Balbuena’s birthday with a heartfelt Instagram tribute. They’ve since been spotted strolling city streets hand in hand—leather jackets, gloves, adorable couple energy—and even sharing intimate, candlelit dinners that look totally ripped from a rom-com script no one asked for.
Of course, none of this will halt the rumor mill. Our doom-scrolling hearts tremble at the thought of the next celebrity coupling we’ll have to dissect at ungodly hours. But until then, we’ll reluctantly admire their sparks—and mentally prepare our cynicism for the next inevitable headline.
Anyway, at this point, should we even pretend to be surprised?
