Tate McRae has set the internet ablaze. But it’s not a new song or surprise project that has fans talking. It’s a few beachside photos that suggest all might not be well between her and The Kid LAROI. The Canadian pop star was photographed during a vacation in Saint-Tropez, and the images have sparked serious questions about her relationship status.
On July 2, the Instagram gossip page DeuxMoi posted a carousel of McRae on a yacht. In one snap, she climbed a ladder in a yellow bikini while a man. Identified as her bodyguard. Stood right behind her. The next photo showed his hand squarely on her backside. That single image caused fans to spiral, speculating whether she and LAROI had quietly gone their separate ways. One comment read, “Did she and LAROI break up??????” while another said, “This makes me so sad. They were such a sweet couple.”
Tate McRae’s Boat Photos Stir Buzz
The third photo is where the rumors really gained steam. The angle, the body language, and the hand placement all led fans to read more into it. Viewers began questioning the absence of The Kid LAROI, who has been McRae’s partner since early 2024. The pair had made several public appearances, shared social media tributes, performed together at major venues, and even collaborated on a track. Until recently, their bond seemed rock solid.

But not everyone is convinced by the boat photos. Some fans believe the bodyguard was just doing his job. Protecting her from photographers or helping her board safely. A few even suggested the images were taken out of context to stir drama. Adding to the confusion, LAROI has continued to engage with McRae’s posts on Instagram, including a recent “like,” which many take as a sign there’s no trouble behind the scenes.
There’s been no official word from either McRae or LAROI. Their last red carpet appearance was in March at the Vanity Fair Oscars party, and they’ve stayed low-key since. But the lack of confirmation hasn’t stopped fans from speculating or drawing conclusions from suggestive snapshots.
Until either of them breaks their silence, the story remains open-ended. But one thing’s clear. One touch on a yacht was enough to throw an entire fanbase into question mode.
