Yung Gravy Thinks Easterling Is "Queen Of The MILFs"

During a pre-show interview at the VMAs, the new couple discussed how their relationship came to be. "We met online. Yeah. We connected right away," Yung Gravy said. "I'm from the furthest north it gets, she's from the furthest south it gets. I'm into MILFs and she's kind of the queen of the MILFs, so I figured it was just a perfect match."

Yung Gravy Knew A Date Would Eventually Happen

Easterling, 42, is mom to well-known TikTok creator Addison Rae, 21, and sons Enzo, 14, and Lucas, 8, with estranged husband Monty Lopez. She was first linked to the rapper, 26, earlier this month after he announced he wanted to take her out on a date on the "BFFs" podcast. When asked if the MILF thing is real, Yung Gravy said it is, but he's "not loyal to just MILFs." "I did have an experience with a much older woman when I was in high school and then again in college before any rap stuff," he said. "It felt right. I need to spread this knowledge to the rest of the people. It fit well with what I was rapping about."

After rumors of the affair started circulating, Easterling posted a statement on her Instagram Story, "Personal matters being brought public are always challenging and overwhelming for anyone involved. I will be OK. My biggest concern is - and always will be - my children and their fragile hearts and minds. I will always do my best to try to protect them. My goal is to make sure that they feel secure and safe and know that everything will be okay. Thank you all for the love and support and kind messages. It means the world to me."
