New year, new celebrity couple. Spanish singer Rosalía, 33, has been cosying up to French model Loli Bahia, who’s 10 years her junior. From holidaying in Rio de Janeiro to looking loved up on the streets of Madrid and, most recently, going on a Parisian shopping spree, the jet-setting pair seem to be growing closer than ever.

The “Berghain” singer, who received critical acclaim for her 2025 record Lux, is about to embark on a world tour for the album in March this year. Bahia reportedly attended her album launch in Madrid, and they apparently enjoyed a Lady Gaga concert in Paris, too.

Bahia hails from the French city of Lyon, which is where Rosalía will be opening her Lux tour. Her father is reportedly Spanish and her mother was born in Algeria. She grew up in La Croix-Rousse, per Vogue Arabia, and spent part of her childhood in Algeria and Andalusia, with family in Oran, Béni Saf and southern Spain.

At 17, she made her modelling debut, walking for Louis Vuitton. Since then, she has worked with brands like Chanel, Dior, Prada and more. “It took me about three and a half years to really learn how to enjoy [being a model],” she told Vogue Arabia, adding, “Fashion has really helped me feel comfortable as a woman, and be comfortable moving around.”
