Bebe Rexha sparked dating rumors when a\u00a0viral photo<\/a>\u00a0of her and New York Knicks veteran guard Jordan Clarkson emerged in July 2026. However, the pop star has since set the record straight with a concise, one-word response on whether there\u2019s a romance between the two.<\/p>\n

Rexha and Clarkson were first spotted together at a Vogue fashion event in July. Prior to that event at Rockefeller Center in New York City, they\u2019d spent the day together. Part of their outing even included hosting an art session with artist Leopoldo Gout.<\/p>\n

In August, TMZ<\/a>\u00a0caught up to Rexha and directly asked her if there were any \u201csparks\u201d between Clarkson and herself. The outlet noted that she \u201cquickly shut it down\u201d by \u201cshaking her head no.\u201d She then added that she and Clarkson are just \u201cfriends.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bebe Rexha\u2019s dating rumors come weeks after she dropped Dirty Blonde, her fourth studio album. The project also marks Rexha\u2019s first independent record, after leaving Warner Bros.<\/p>\n

In June 2026, the singer sat down with Euphoria Magazine<\/a> and opened up about how the record represents a \u201crebirth\u201d for her. \u201cIt\u2019s weird because the other day I was going to tweet, \u2018Hey, DIRTY BLONDE, my debut album.\u201d I almost wrote \u2018debut,\u2019 which is so weird,\u201d she confessed. \u201cI don\u2019t know why I nearly wrote that, but that\u2019s kind of what it feels like.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt feels like a rebirth and a restart for me. I\u2019m excited,\u201d she said. \u201cI feel like I needed this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The singer went on to say, \u201cBeyond the music, it\u2019s more than that. The music is one thing, but as an artist, a lot of it comes from the internal side of things, which is so much more important than everything else. If you\u2019re not feeling good or you\u2019re not in the right headspace, it can affect everything. You could be killing it, but if you\u2019re unhappy or not in a great mindset, none of it really matters.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Rexha shared which album was her favorite at the time. \u201cI love \u2018The Way I Want You.\u2019 It\u2019s my favorite song. I\u2019m obsessed with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
