Is Ice Spice off the market? The “Deli” rapper has fans buzzing after popping up on New York Jets cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner’s Instagram. The NFL star recently posted pics of the two chilling together in New York, and some are calling it a soft launch of a new romance. Comments like “Spice and sauce” and “I wasn’t familiar with ur game” flooded the post, fueling the speculation.
Ice Spice didn’t exactly shut it down either. She slid into Gardner’s comments with a simple “1” and, when someone straight-up asked if they were dating, replied with a mysterious “GAG.” Classic Ice—keeping us guessing!
This isn’t the first time the Bronx star’s love life has made headlines. Last year, she was linked to British rapper Central Cee after their flirty “Did It First” video. But she told Rolling Stone they’re just “twins” and have been friends since her 2022 hit “Munch.” That didn’t sit well with Cench’s ex, influencer Madeline Argy, who vented online about the situation. “I tried to understand what was going on, and nothing,” Argy said. “This is why girls don’t date rappers.”
Ice Spice has mostly kept her romantic life under wraps since blowing up in 2022. In 2023, she confirmed she was “dating someone” but kept their identity a secret, saying she wants fans focused on her music, not her love life. Still, that hasn’t stopped admirers like NLE Choppa, Max B (who’s currently locked up), and even Shaq from publicly shooting their shots.
So, are Ice Spice and Sauce Gardner a thing? The clues are there, but she’s not spilling the tea just yet.
