Lily-Rose Depp, the dazzling actress and daughter of Hollywood royalty, has been smitten with rapper 070 Shake – real name Danielle Balbuena – since early 2023. It all began with a cheeky Instagram post in May 2023, where Depp shared a snapshot of their smooch, captioned "4 MONTHS W MY CRUSH." This social media debut set the stage for a love story that has captured the hearts of fans worldwide, with public sightings and affectionate displays from London to Los Angeles.
070 Shake, a 28-year-old rapper hailing from North Bergen, New Jersey, brings an eclectic vibe to her music and personal style. Known for her creative monikers like Dani, Shake, and Yellow Girl, she pays homage to her roots with the name 070 – a nod to her former Jersey area code and the New Jersey collective she’s part of. Signed to Kanye West’s G.O.O.D Music label in 2017, Shake has shared the stage with icons, collaborating on tracks like "Ghost Town" and Raye's chart-topping “Escapism.”
“I feel like there's not enough time in these short interviews to really sum it up. But I’m incredibly proud. Yeah, she’s incredibly talented. I’m very proud," Depp shared about her relationship with Shake.
Fast forward to 2024, Depp and Shake's relationship continued to flourish. Celebrating their one-year anniversary on January 11, Depp shared a picture of them on her Instagram, encapsulating their bond with the words, “1 <3, My dani my forever.” Their outings have been a mix of low-key and high-glam, spotted at hotspots like Giorgio Baldi and taking in events like Lakers games or concerts by Charli XCX and Troye Sivan.
Their public displays of affection in vibrant locations like San Diego and high-end LA grocery stores keep the buzz alive. Whether they're cozying up at a concert or walking hand-in-hand through the streets, their chemistry is palpable.
Shake’s musical talents have intertwined with her personal life, as demonstrated in her album "Petrichor," which she dedicated to Depp. The actress even starred as Shake’s muse in the music video for "Winter Baby / New Jersey Blues," a visual love letter that further cements their partnership. Shake lyrically expresses her devotion with lines referencing Depp, adding a layer of artistic intimacy to their relationship.
Their romance isn't just celebrated through music. Depp’s summer 2025 Instagram post, captioned "🌹🌹🌹Summer loving 🌹🌹🌹," gave fans a peek into their intimate moments and shared life together. The couple is often seen coordinating their fashion, blending style with sentiment, as observed in their coordinated fall looks during a London outing in November 2025.
These two have proven that their relationship is more than just a fleeting Hollywood romance. From Shake being Depp’s date at premier events, to Depp carrying a lock of Shake’s hair as a romantic gesture, their connection is genuine, heartfelt, and as timeless as a SoCal sunset.
