Ice Spice and New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner may have just soft-launched their relationship.

In what could just be an April Fool's Joke on Tuesday (April 1), the NFL cornerback posted an Instagram carousel showing him and the Y2K! rapper posing by a Rolls-Royce in New York. While neither have confirmed that they're dating, Ice and Gardner have been spotted together publicly several times over the past month.

The two probably met when both were guests on podcast The Shop last April, where Travis Scott, Chad Ochocinco and Julio Rodríguez were also guests. Ice was previously alleged to have dated her longtime producer, RIOTUSA and Central Cee, although she said that she and the latter were "twins." "We’ve been friends since ‘Munch’ came out, honestly," she told Rolling Stone last year.

The speculation about Ice and Cench first came about when the rapper's ex-girlfriend, Madeline Argy, alleged in a series of TikToks that the two were having an affair.

"Guys, imagine you break up with your boyfriend one night and the next day he's posted up with Ice Spice in Chrome Hearts," Argy said in one post. "I didn't even actually get to break up with him and he's already with the next girl!"

In 2023, Gardner was on The Pivot Podcast, where he expressed being a "taken young man," although he didn't disclose whether he was dating Ice at the time.
