The duo has been friends for a while and romance rumors went into overdrive when Towa joined Renee on her Snow Hard Feelings Tour throughout 2023 and 2024.
The couple set tongues wagging during steamy performances of Tummy Ache every night.
They've been spotted together numerous times since and partied together during the first weekend of Coachella in April.

While neither of them has spoken out about their rumored romance, the duo was photographed together leaving Luna Luna – an experimental art museum in Los Angeles – on January 13, and according to reports they "shared a little kiss" while at the venue.
Barry split from Alyson Sandro, whom he first met in a London bar in February 2021, in the summer of 2023. The couple share a son, Brando, one.
When questioned about the separation, the 31-year-old Irish actor responded with admiration for Alyson's parenting, telling GQ, "She's done a great job, and she's an incredible mother." He chose not to delve further into the details of their split.
Sabrina, meanwhile, has been previously linked to Shawn Mendes and briefly dated singer and actor, Joshua Bassett.
