The rumors started to reach headlines in August when Yung Gravy and Addison Rae’s mom, Sheri Easterling, were seen together attending the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs).

They are not dating!
It seems like fans’ speculation was actually not true. As soon as the rumors started to spread, Yung Gravy immediately shut them down.
During an interview, he clarified that he and Easterling are not dating. Although they had their PDA moments during the award show, they assure everyone they are both very much single.
In an interview with E! News, he further explained that he didn’t really know what it meant to bring a date to the VMAs when he asked Easterling to be his pair. All this time, he thought they could just bring anyone they like to bring for fun, without knowing that there is something called the “red carpet thing.”
If two artists are seen posing together on a red carpet, everyone would immediately assume that they are a couple. For that reason, Gravy and Easterling quickly became a hot topic after the award show.
Although they have shared plenty of PDA moments, sharing a few kisses on the red carpet, Gravy made it clear to everyone that they are not in a relationship at all.
The Reason Behind Why He Asked Her to Be His Date?
During an interview, Gravy explained why he asked Addison Rae’s mom to be his date for the award show. Since he travels all the time for work, it is hard for him to date anyone, might as well find someone to be with him during the show.
A few days before the VMAs, Gravy was already looking for someone to take with him. Since Easterling was at his show in New Orleans, he decided to flirt with her online before finally inviting her to be his date for the award show.
Since Easterling was available during that time and was willing to go with him, they ended up attending the VMAs together. He also admitted that he is quite into MILF’s, and since Easterling is the queen of MILF, she was just the perfect date for him.

Easterling was married before to Monty Lopez, in which they share three children together, namely Rae, Lucas, and Enzo. They had quite some family drama in 2022 that became public when influencer Renée Ash alleged that she and Lopez had been in a relationship for a few months.
At that time, fans also noticed that Lopez was quite flirty with other girls the same age as his daughter Addison Rae. As a result, Easterling decided to move out of their house and live with her relatives in Louisiana with her two sons. As of 2023, the two are officially divorced.
As the drama continues, Easterling decided to make a statement online, saying that above all things, her children’s well-being is her number one priority. In a post she shared online, she stated that her biggest concern is her children and their fragile hearts and minds.
That’s why she will always do her best to try to protect them at all costs. Her goal now is to ensure they feel secure and safe despite the challenges they encounter. Easterling also thanked everyone who has loved and supported her through these rough times, as it means the world to her.
In the midst of the drama, Rae has decided to stay away from the family turmoil and just focus on her career. On the other hand, Easterling has also gained a large following on TikTok and Instagram due to her daughter’s fame on those platforms.
Knowing that Addison Rae’s mom is single can be the reason why fans immediately speculated that she and Yung Gravy were dating after the rumors broke out.
