So who is Kehlani dating now, does she have a girlfriend and who are her exes? Here's everything you need to know.
Kehlani recently opened up about her ex YG, who is now dating fellow musician Saweetie, in an interview with Hot 97's Nessa.
“I’m a lesbian, so why would I care about my male [exes]?” she said. “I also don’t really care what any of my exes doing: male, female, anything.
My goal is [for] everybody to be happy. Even when I’m with someone, if we decide that we’re not mutually happy, we really shouldn’t be together and we should go be with people who make us happy. That’s what I want.”
