Pop sensation Doja Cat has clarified the swirling rumors regarding her engagement to Stranger Things star Joseph Quinn. Fans were sent into a frenzy after Doja Cat was spotted wearing a ring at a recent performance, sparking speculation about a possible engagement to the actor. However, the “Paint The Town Red” singer has taken to social media to set the record straight, confirming she is not engaged to Quinn.

Addressing the heightened speculation, Doja Cat directly denied the engagement claims in a now-deleted tweet. According to reports from TMZ and Page Six, the tweet stated, “No, im not engaged its a David Yurman ring with no rocks in it.” This straightforward message aimed to dispel the rumors and clarify the nature of the jewelry that had caused such a stir. The ring, identified as a David Yurman piece, was seemingly just a fashion statement, not a symbol of commitment to Joseph Quinn.
The engagement rumors gained traction not only from the ring but also from recent sightings of Doja Cat and Joseph Quinn together. Weeks prior to the iHeartRadio performance, the pair was seen enjoying a walk in London, captured in photos holding hands. This public display of affection sparked initial dating rumors and intensified the engagement speculation when the ring photos emerged.
