Here’s everything to know about Don Toliver and Kali Uchis’ relationship and their baby boy.
Toliver and Uchis have been dating since at least 2021
The couple first sparked romance rumors when they appeared in two music videos together in 2021. Uchis starred in Toliver’s videos for “What You Need” and “Drugs N Hella Melodies,” which were both shot where her family lives in Colombia.
Speaking with W Magazine in July 2021, Toliver confirmed the relationship and shared that they “just vibe” but aren’t “crazy public.”
“I already had it in my mind to go out there and shoot a video with her incorporated into it, to make it a real-deal situation,” Toliver told the outlet about shooting the music video in Colombia. He also shared that he was able to meet some of Uchis’ family members during the trip.
The pair had been dating for a while before going public with their relationship after meeting through a mutual friend in Houston, per Elle.
They bonded over their passion for music
In part, the artists built a connection through their mutual passion for music. During an interview with Elle in March 2023, Uchis shared that music gives the two “a whole different way to connect” as they can “just get on a microphone and bounce melodies off each other.”
“And we love listening to music together,” she added. “That was one of the first ways we really bonded: We just showed each other a bunch of music. We have pretty much the same tastes, so it comes naturally.”
Toliver and Uchis have collaborated on multiple songs
In addition to joint music video appearances, the couple have collaborated on several songs together. Uchis is featured on two of Toliver’s tracks, “Drugs N Hella Melodies” and “4 Me,” while he can be heard on her song “Fantasy.”
Speaking with Cosmopolitan in February 2024, Uchis said she values Toliver’s thoughts on her music.
“It’s always nice to get his opinion because he’s, like, an OG Kuchi himself,” she said, referencing the name of her fandom.
While the pair do give each other feedback on their music, Toliver said during his appearance on Nessa On Air that they also try to give each other freedom to create.
“We just try to sharpen each other on whatever we’re trying to do,” he said. “But I really just let her do her thing. She let me do my thing, and it works.”
They made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Grammys
Uchis and Toliver made their red carpet debut at the 2022 Grammys, where the “telepatía” singer was nominated for best música urbana album for Sin Miedo (Del Amor Y Otros Demonios) 8.
The songstress donned an olive green Dolce & Gabbana dress with gold cross jewelry, while Toliver opted for a black two-piece suit and white loafers.
They’re very supportive of each other
Uchis and Toliver are each other’s biggest fans and have found a way to support each other through their busy careers. During her March 2023 interview with Elle, Uchis shared that the two often travel with each other for work commitments.
“I feel like it’s a beautiful thing to travel the world with somebody you love,” she said. “He comes on my tours, and I go on his. That’s how we figured out how to do our lives.”
Toliver also opened up on Nessa On Air about how proud he is of her musical success.
“She sets out to do the things that she wants to do and just accomplish them. I just watch, and I’m just in awe and just happy that she’s able to do so,” he said. “I love that.”
Toliver and Uchis keep their romance fairly private
Despite their high-profile careers, Uchis and Toliver prefer to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. In an appearance on the BigBoyTV YouTube channel in March 2023, Uchis opened up about the difficulties of dating in the spotlight.
“Being in a public relationship, it definitely has its moments. Where you’re like, ‘Omg, I wish everybody would shut the f--- up,’ ” she said. “We definitely try to keep our relationship as private as possible.”
However, the pair do occasionally post about each other on social media. In June 2023, Uchis celebrated Toliver’s birthday by posting a series of photos with the rapper on Instagram.
“my heart was born in the month of June !!! celebrating you & grateful for you every day 🎂🍧🍰🧁,” she wrote in the caption.
A month later, Toliver shared a video of himself serenading Uchis onstage for her birthday. He wrote in the caption, “I Would Sing This Song To You A Million Times Over.. It’s Your Birthday ‼️ An I’m Beyond Proud Of YOu.🫶 Thank you For Everything You Do Pook 🦋 ❤️🩹👑💕🥹🙌🏿🫂.”

In January 2024, Uchis and Toliver revealed they were expecting their first child together in her music video for "Tu Corazón Es Mio." In the video, the two can be seen attending doctor’s appointments together and dancing in a room filled with stained-glass windows.
“Starting our family❤️🩹 don’t take too long to get here little pooks, mom & dad can’t wait to share our life with you,” the couple wrote in a joint post on Instagram.

Uchis hopes to be a successful working mom
Speaking with Cosmopolitan in February 2024, Uchis cited singer Victoria Monét as a role model for how to be a working mom in the music industry.

What I always aspire to do with my music is to be unpredictable. That’s what makes what I do fun. I want to keep people guessing.”
