Photos of Trevor Noah's Dating History Resurface After Nicki Minaj Sparks Social Media Debate Over His Sexuality

In an X post, Nicki Minaj posted about Trevor Noah's sexuality and claimed that Noah has a 'secret boyfriend.'

The rapper wrote: 'Trevor refuses to come out the closet when everyone in the industry knows his boyfriend. Allegedly.'

The controversy has taken a step further, intensifying after a TikTok video resurfaced and went Viral. Noah can be seen waiting at a crosswalk with a 'mystery man' when a creator approaches and films him. The internet quickly speculated that the man is the 'boyfriend' that Minaj is referring to.

But all of this unfolded because of the South African comedian's Grammys opening monologue, where he aimed at Minaj's absence at the awards night.

He said, 'Nicki Minaj is not here,' adding, 'She is still at the White House with Donald Trump discussing very important issues.'

Noah continued his bit imitating US president Donald Trump: 'Actually, Nicki, I have the biggest a** I have it, everybody's saying it Nicki, I know they say it's you, but it's me, wop, wop, wop, look at it, look at it, baby.'

As the video of Noah with his alleged boyfriend goes viral and the debate over his sexuality intensifies, the host's dating history has become the talk of the town. We've gathered photos of Noah's past relationships along with all the details about his dating history.

Trevor Noah's Dating History

On Tuesday, 3 February 2026, photos of Noah's former girlfriend have resurfaced online amid claims about his sexuality made by Minaj. The photos that are going viral were taken when Noah was still with singer and model Jordy Taylor.

But Taylor isn't the only woman that Noah dated. He also dated Dani Gabriel, Minka Kelly, Dua Lipa, and Zoe Mabie.

Dani Gabriel (2014 - 2015)

Dani Gabriel was Noah's girlfriend before he moved to the US to host The Daily Show, and is still living in South Africa. Gabriel was a physiotherapist and musician.

She reportedly joined him during his stand-up comedy tours. In 2015, the two split, and she told The Daily Mail she 'couldn't be prouder' of his accomplishments and will always support his endeavors.

Gabriel has since gotten married and tied the knot in 2023.

Jordyn Taylor (2015 – 2018)

When Noah moved to the US, he was romantically linked to singer, model, and luxury real estate agent Jordyn Taylor. The two met on Twitter now X.

Noah and Taylor even walked the red carpet together, but Noah 'quietly broke it off' between him and Taylor in 2018. It was reported at the time that the two 'just grew apart' after nearly three years of dating.

Taylor joined the cast of Selling the City in 2025. She accused her ex of 'stealing' some of her punchlines and using her for inspiration during his comedy sets.

She said, 'Trevor borrowed me for material all the time,' she added, 'I think I was the subject of jokes from time to time, but he would also steal my material, a hundred percent.'

Minka Kelly (2020 – 2022)

Minka Kelly, Ransom Canyon actress, and currently in a relationship with Imagine Dragons frontman Dan Reynolds was Noah's girlfriend in 2020.

The pair sparked dating rumors in 2020 when sources said that they had been romantically linked before the COVID-19 pandemic.

An insider claim: 'They've been dating for a while, well before quarantine started; and in 2021 another insider confirmed that the two were 'very serious' and they started 'looking for a place in LA as a couple.'

The two briefly broke up and reconciled, but less than a month later they split again in 2022. 'They have been broken up for a while,' an insider said, adding that Kelly is very happy and would 'rather be single than waste her time with the wrong guy.'

Dua Lipa (2022)

In 2022, singer Dua Lipa was linked to Noah, although the two had not confirmed their short-lived relationship. The two were spotted kissing after a dinner date at New York City hotspot Miss Lily's in September 2022.

But Dua shut down the rumours during an episode of her At Your Service podcast a month after they were spotted.

She said, 'For me, this is the first year I've not been in a relationship for a very long time,' she added, 'It's been really great to just be alone and only think about myself and kind of be quite selfish, which I've never really had the opportunity to do. But when you find someone that really softens you and calms you down. I think it is the Leo thing—it makes a big difference.'

In December 2022, an insider confirmed that their romance was short-lived and that 'they haven't spoken since' their date at Miss Lily's.

Zoë Mabie (2024)

Zoë Mabie is Noah's most recent girlfriend. Mabie is a South African content creator and the two were reportedly linked in January 2024.

The dating rumours sparked after Noah was spotted in a vacation video montage on Mabie's Instagram profile. Trevor's spotted sitting at a table with her friends in a quick clip.

Their relationship was neither confirmed nor denied, but Mabie was longtime friends with Khaya Dlanga and Xolisa Dyeshana, who are also good friends of Noah's.

Currently, the 41-year-old host is reportedly single, although Minaj's claims about his alleged 'secret boyfriend' continue to be the talk of the town. Noah has yet to comment on Minaj's X post and claims.
