Doja Cat Opens Up About Dating Therapy and Handling Online Criticism in Candid Vogue Interview

Doja Cat discussed a range of personal topics in her Vogue cover story published Wednesday, March 18, including her relationship status and her experiences with online criticism.

When asked if she still considers herself a "serial dater," a label she has previously used, the rapper responded candidly. "Yes," Doja Cat told Vogue. "I'm 30, so I'm ovulating and horny."

She confirmed she is currently in a relationship but declined to identify her partner. Doja Cat said her significant other plans to visit her on tour in support of her 2023 album "Vie," which reached No. 4 on the Billboard 200. She also said her favorite part about dating is "when they leave."

"This is what therapy has done for me," she said. "It's allowed me to be away and be at peace without being like, 'I need tarot cards. I need an answer. Text me.' I don't do any of that anymore. It's very nice."

Doja Cat, who won a Grammy Award in 2022, was previously linked to actor Joseph Quinn. Dating rumors began in 2024, following a public dispute in 2022 with Quinn's "Stranger Things" co-star Noah Schnapp. Schnapp had posted screenshots of Doja Cat asking if Quinn was single without her permission. She later apologized to Schnapp. Before that, she was reported to have dated musician J. Cyrus.

The situation with Schnapp is one of several instances in which Doja Cat has addressed people online. Days before the Vogue interview was published, she criticized actor Timoth e Chalamet for comments about opera and ballet, but later retracted her statement, saying she had been "virtue signaling."

Doja Cat also addressed her own online critics in the interview. "When I feel that I'm threatened, even though it may not be a threat at all, it rhymes with: You are failing," she said. "I feel like I have to defend my creative choices, and then I give those people power even though they could be anybody - they could have Cheeto dust on their fingers and have no job."

She said she has become less reactive after starting therapy. Earlier in March, Doja Cat announced she had been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. "I'm not cured of anything," she said, adding that she might have pursued a career in psychology if she were not an artist. "But it helps me understand why I do the things that I do."
