The internet is buzzing after Married At First Sight Australia bride Carina Mirabile revealed she dated a US rapper before she joined the reality dating experiment. On Google Trends, 'Which rapper did Carina date?' is a breakout search term - cue a lot of rumours about the identity of the musician.
Alas, it wasn't hard to figure out.
Which rapper did Carina date?
The man has now been unmasked as US rapper Quavo. Carina – who was paired with Paul Antoine on the show – made the shock revelation while in an Uber on the way home from a date with Rhi Disljenkovic and Jeff Gobbels, saying that she had been out with the well-known rapper playing on the radio.
Who is Quavo?
Quavo – real name Quavious Keyate Marshall – is a rapper, singer, songwriter and record producer from Georgia, Atlanta. He’s best known for being the frontman of hip-hop group Migos, alongside his nephew Takeoff and friend Offset, which split in 2023. Their hits include Versace – which was remixed by Drake – while Quavo’s solo hits include Champions, Go Off and Workin Me.
Quavo briefly dated actress Karrueche Tran in 2017, and had a three-year relationship with rapper Saweetie in September 2018. Saweetie confirmed that the pair split in March 2021, amid rumours that he had cheated. ‘Presents don't band aid scars and the love isn't real when the intimacy is given to other women,’ she wrote.
Did Carina Mirabile date Drake?
The pair didn't date - but she did catch his eye. Six months after filming for MAFS Australia wrapped, Carina was spotted with Drake in February 2025, who she met at a Perth restaurant while out with friends. Reports claim that the Canadian rapper paid for their lunch bill.
‘Carina and the girls were already having a fabulous time, sipping cocktails and enjoying their seafood spread, but when Drake’s crew got involved, the energy in the room completely shifted,’ a source said. ‘It was clear there was some serious chemistry there. Drake didn’t take his eyes off her the entire time.’
