Ladies, gays, and theys, gather ’round—because August Alsina just served us a whole love story this weekend, and honestly? We’re here for every soft, sweet, and spicy second of it.
The R&B singer and former entanglement connoisseur showed up and showed out at POSH in Los Angeles for Pride weekend, and he didn’t come solo. Nope. August was holding hands, canoodling, and full-on glowing alongside his man, and social media is collectively melting into a puddle of aww and YASSS.
If you’ve been keeping an eye on August lately (and let’s be real—you have), you’ve probably noticed he’s been giving major “in love and unbothered” energy. After the whole Jada Pinkett Smith drama that basically broke the internet back in the day, August said “thank u, next” and turned the page. And what’s on that page? Apparently, a man who loves him out loud—and looks damn good doing it.
The couple has been sprinkling their romance across the ‘gram like fairy dust for over a year now. Cuddled-up selfies, matching fits, soft smiles at candlelit dinners—ugh, we love a soft launch turned full romance rollout. But this weekend at POSH? That was the hard launch. Full PDA. Matching vibes. Giving joy. Giving soulmates. Giving, “we don’t care who’s watching.”
Inside the venue, the pair were spotted dancing, sipping cocktails, and posing with fans like the local celebrities they are. And let’s just say, August’s boo? Tall, fine, and clearly obsessed with him. (As he should be.) The couple’s energy was effortless—like they just stepped out of a Black queer rom-com that’s winning all the awards and stealing all our hearts.
Twitter, TikTok, and every group chat lit up with the footage. One fan wrote, “August is glowing like he drinks moonlight and eats peace for breakfast,” and honestly, not a lie detected. Another posted, “The way August’s man looks at him? Yeah, I’m gonna need a therapist.”
Of course, some people are still stuck in the past, whispering about “that one time with Jada,” but August clearly left all that mess behind. We love growth, we love healing, and we definitely love a man who finds joy and doesn’t care what anyone thinks.
And while August hasn’t slapped a label on his sexuality—and doesn’t owe anyone one, thank you very much—he’s been very open about loving who he loves. In a past interview, he said, “Love showed up for me in a new way, and I’m not going to turn it away.” Whew. Say that again for the people in the back!
Beyond being cute (because duh), August showing up so boldly and proudly during Pride matters. He’s a Black man in the spotlight, loving another Black man without apology—and that kind of representation is powerful. For fans who’ve grown up with his music and watched him evolve through pain, fame, and healing, this moment feels personal. Like we’re watching our problematic fave become someone’s dream guy—and finding his own dream life in the process.
So what’s next? A couple’s vacation vlog? A duet? A wedding registry?? Okay, okay—we’re getting ahead of ourselves. But one thing’s for sure: August Alsina is booked, blessed, and boo’d up, and we’re all just lucky to witness it.
Keep shining, August. And to his man—sir, take good care of him. The internet is watching, and we’re emotionally invested.
