SUPERSTAR rapper Doja Cat may have just found her purrfect match in Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn.

I can reveal the unlikely pair enjoyed a cosy date in London on Saturday afternoon and now appear to be a fully fledged couple.

They were seen canoodling at the Coach & Horses pub in Soho, as you can see in my exclusive photo where the Paint The Town Red rapper has reached out to touch him.

It has been a long time coming for Doja, who first admitted she fancied Joseph two years ago.

In July 2022 it was revealed she had messaged Joseph’s co-star Noah Schnapp, telling him to ask Joseph to “hit her up” and asking if he had a girlfriend.

Noah, who plays student Will Byers in the TV sci-fi, made her advances public by sharing a screenshot of their messages on TikTok.

At the time, Doja slammed the move as “degrading” and “super embarrassing”.

But now it looks as though things have worked out for the best.

An eyewitness said: “It very much looked like they were together. They were acting like a couple.

“He had his arm around her, then she put her arm around him. He kissed her on the head at one point.

“It was just them together, deep in conversation for ages. She was puffing on a vape and looked really happy.”

The pair are believed to have finally met when Doja — who has racked up 17 Top 40 singles here including Say So and Kiss Me More — performed a show in London last month, with Joseph in the audience.

Who has Doja Cat dated?

The English actor played Eddie in the fourth series of the TV juggernaut and was linked to model Alicia Davis last year, although that seems to have fizzled out.

It was revealed in February that Doja had split from comedian J Cyrus after almost a year together and had signed up to celebrity dating app Raya.

She and Joseph seem a solid match, so Doja can probably delete that app now.

Jess is a flag raver

JESS GLYNNE honoured Team GB in a Union Jack cape as the athletes partied the night away at the National Lottery’s Paris Olympics homecoming.

The Hold My Hand singer wore a black leather outfit accessorised with the national flag on stage at Manchester’s AO Arena.

Jess also changed into a white dress with a thigh-high split to perform her biggest hits on Saturday.

Our Olympians were guests of honour at the bash, which was hosted by Vernon Kay and Emma Willis and aired on BBC One and iPlayer last night.

Jess also teamed up with Clean Bandit to perform their No1 collaboration Rather Be, which was released ten years ago.

Now that does make me feel old . . .

Chris's next Port of call

HE made a surprise cameo in Deadpool & Wolverine, one of this year’s biggest box-office hits.

And movie superhero Chris Evans appears to have splashed his earnings on a house in Portugal.

The Human Torch hunk has bought a home in the Lapa neighbourhood of Lisbon, after tying the knot last year with Portuguese actress Alba Baptista.

The couple are reported to have homes in Los Angeles and Boston, but Alba wants to spend more time in the Portuguese capital, where she grew up.

A source said: “Chris was born in the States and has lived there all of his life, but he has fallen for Portugal since meeting Alba. They love it there and went househunting in February before making their decision.

“It was important for them to have a base there for when they visit Alba’s family, but they want it to be more than just a holiday home.

“The hope is that they can spend more time in Portugal in the future while they’re not working.

“It’s a completely different pace of life from Los Angeles and that’s something they both need.”

If only we could all afford those luxuries.

Jay-Z on track

NOT many blokes in their fifties could look this cool in a tracksuit, but Jay-Z pulls it off.

He wore the stylish blue outfit as he made an appearance in New York on Saturday, where there was a pop-up reimagining of his 40/40 Club.

The nightspot was open for 20 years in Manhattan before closing last summer, but the US rapper is now working to relaunch it in a new location.

Wonder if he will insist on a no-trackies dress code?

Maya's a thirty stop-out

MAYA JAMA has continued her 30th birthday celebrations with a raucous jaunt to Ibiza costing tens of thousands of pounds.

The Love Island host chartered a jet to fly out with a gang of pals wearing Maya masks.

She got high-end sushi restaurant Nobu to cater the flight and they shared multiple bottles of fizz including one £260 bottle.

On landing, there were VIP tables to watch DJ Calvin Harris’s show at Ushuaia.

On Saturday, they hit day club O Beach, where a troupe of girls held up signs to spell out Maya’s name.

They are staying at the five-star Ibiza Gran Hotel.

Contrary to the name, it isn’t for pensioners, and is one of the island’s swankiest places.

I told last week how Maya started her birthday celebrations with a lavish dinner for more than 60 friends and family in London on Wednesday before a night out in London.

It should all help to put ex Stormzy out of her mind.

Stav-A-Go Mossy's party jape

WHEN I think of Kate Moss of course parties come to mind.

But little did I think they would ever have involved her taking part in a spoof of Britain’s Got Talent act Stavros Flatley.

Nick Grimshaw told a podcast that he did a Stavros Flatley performance at a party with Kate Moss in 2013

Her pal Nick Grimshaw says he put on the show with Kate as the pair partied in 2013 at the home of The Clash rocker Mick Jones.

He said: “Mick had not heard of Stavros Flatley and I thought they were fantastic so I did a performance in the kitchen of Mick Jones from The Clash, arguably the coolest band in the UK.”

Asked on his Sidetracked podcast if he went topless, he said: “Yes, my weirdest pop star story. He loved it. He always said hello to me after-wards when I saw him. What’s funnier, the other person to my Stavros Flatley was Kate Moss. We both performed.”

Rap battle

CHAPPELL ROAN is taking on Chase & Status and Stormzy collab Back- bone in a battle for the No1 single this Friday.

Her track Good Luck Babe is now fewer than just 1,000 sales away from last week’s chart- topper.

Elsewhere, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars song Die With A Smile is on track to go to No7, according to midweek data from Official Charts.

Jade gets her kicks on lyrics

JADE THIRLWALL has enlisted boyfriend Jordan Stephens for her debut solo album.

She told People magazine: “We have done some writing sessions together, and if I remember right, he has got a couple of small credits on the album.

“He’s been in the room a couple of times and helped with certain lyrics. He’s a really amazing rapper as well as a really good lyricist.

“Maybe in the future we’ll do a project together.”

Perhaps they can stick to making sweet music of another sort for now.
