Believe It Or Not, This Is The Last Time Matt Rife Publicly Dated Someone

Eileen Flaherty

If you’re anything like me, you love hearing about celebrities dating history/current partners. I’m sure a lot of us were pretty invested in the whole Taylor Swift and Matty Healy dating rumors (which of course, have now come to an end), or, maybe you are obsessed with Netflix’s The Ultimatum: Queer Love. Whatever your prerogative may be, there’s a little part of everybody who is invested in celebrities’ dating lives. (You’d be lying to yourself if you said no!) We Gen-Zers keep up with dating histories to a maybe concerning point, but we ain’t changing it! One person who has been in the spotlight for a hot minute now is Matt Rife.

Rife is a comedian who has been mega popular on TikTok, thanks to his rise to fame on MTV’s comedy-improv show, Wild ‘N Out. He recently announced a world tour, and securing tickets caused another “great war” (it’s giving era’s tour fiasco). If you secured a ticket to see Matt Rife, you should probably be aware of his interesting dating history. He does not have a girlfriend currently, but he has had several in the past. So, if you are ready to take a deep dive into another famous person’s dating history whom you will probably never meet, keep reading! 

Kate Beckinsale: 2017

Matt’s only public relationship in the spotlight was with none other than English actress Kate Beckinsale. When they started dating, Matt was 21 years old and Kate was 43 years old. While their relationship was short-lived, a source told PEOPLE Magazine that “She refers to him as an old soul” and that the “age difference doesn’t matter to her. Matt is amazing to her.” 

… and that’s literally it.

Despite it going well, the couple split in November of 2017, and since then, Matt has not had any public relationships. However, the word on the street is that Matt is on the celebrity dating app, Raya. So, if you are somehow on that app, please let us know what Mr. Matt’s profile is looking like. 

In an interview with Elite Daily, Matt said that he simply doesn’t have time for a love life. Trust us, we can imagine. He is about to go around the world at just 27 years old on a sold-out world tour. Who knows! Maybe he will find somebody during the tour. 

We still want to see his profile on Raya tho
