Reneé Rapp Shares How She Met Towa Bird - From First Impressions to "I Love You"

Wondering how Reneé Rapp and Towa Bird became more than friends? Here’s how their relationship grew from DM to girlfriend status.
Reneé Rapp recently shared the inside story of how her relationship with singer-songwriter
Towa Bird began, opening up on the May 27 episode of Good Hang with
Amy Poehler. Rapp admitted she was instantly drawn to Bird, calling her “so f—ing cool” and “sexy” before they’d even met. Even after a mutual friend warned that Bird “wasn’t in a place” for romance, Rapp insisted on at least becoming friends. When they finally met, Bird was “so f—ing mean” to her, something Rapp found charming and hilarious, chalking it up to Bird’s British sarcasm.
The couple’s dynamic carried over into their early relationship, with Bird dropping the first “I love you” while the pair were high at the beach. Rapp, at first surprised, asked Bird to repeat it. And since making their red carpet debut at Vanity Fair in March 2024, Rapp and Bird have become a visible couple at high-profile events like the Gold House Gala and Coachella parties.
