Reports confirming the pair’s relationship emerged in May, following hints from acquaintances of the 26-year-old actress that she was enjoying a fun and vibrant dating life. Recent updates suggest that not only is Infiniti navigating a busy start to the year, with awards season engagements and work on her latest project, “The Testaments,” but her relationship with Withers, 27, remains a significant source of support.
Chase Infiniti has been in the spotlight recently, earning multiple nominations for her outstanding performance in the film “One Battle After Another,” including recognition from the Golden Globes, Actor Awards, and Critics’ Choice Awards. The film received the prestigious accolade of Best Picture at the Oscars, and Infiniti later celebrated the premiere of Hulu’s sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” culminating in her winning a Gotham TV Award for her work.
Despite her packed schedule, the insider noted that Infiniti spends considerable time in Los Angeles, where Tyriq resides. This proximity allows the pair to enjoy their time together amid their busy careers. The insider also mentioned that they are “very cute together,” indicating a genuine connection between the two actors.
While neither Infiniti nor Withers has commented publicly on the status of their relationship, they have been spotted together at various high-profile events, further fueling speculation about their romantic link. Initial whispers of their relationship began swirling after the couple was photographed alongside Kerry Washington at the NAACP Awards in February. Fans playfully suggested that they could be portrayed as the offspring of Washington’s character, Olivia Pope, and Fitz, as played by Tony Goldwyn, within the “Scandal” universe.
Since those first sightings, Infiniti and Withers have been seen enjoying each other’s company at the F1 Grand Prix in Miami, as well as GQ’s post-Met Gala party. Withers also attended the Los Angeles premiere of “The Testaments,” suggesting a strong partnership in both their personal and professional lives.
In a candid moment addressed during an interview at the Oscars, Infiniti shared her thoughts on the public interest surrounding their relationship. When asked about the buzz online about her and Withers, she responded, “So? The internet is the internet. I don’t know,” suggesting an understanding of the chatter but maintaining focus on the reality of their connection. She credited much of the speculation to her frequent interactions with Washington and Miles Caton from “Sinners,” which likely fuelled gossip about her relationship with Withers.
On the other hand, Tyriq Withers has garnered attention for his charm and persona, particularly following the release of his film, “Reminders of Him.” When labelled as the “internet boyfriend” and queried about his newfound fame, he humbly remarked, “Those are your words. I never signed up for that.” Withers expressed a desire to remain authentic, stating, “I’m just glad people resonate with that.”
In a recent interview with Cosmopolitan, Withers further discussed his dating life, revealing that he has not extensively dated since his rise to fame. He described himself as “such a relationship-oriented person,” sharing his yearning for love. He poetically referred to his desire as both a “superpower” and a “biggest flaw,” humbly declaring, “I am a loverboy. I’m just looking for love.”
As Chase Infiniti and Tyriq Withers continue to navigate their careers and blossoming romance, the Hollywood community watches with intrigue. Amidst the challenges posed by their demanding schedules, their commitment to one another seems unwavering, promising a delightful narrative for their fans as they bask in their combined successes on and off the screen.
