Iggy Azalea has confirmed she is dating DeAndre Hopkins

DeAndre had posted a photo which was captioned: "My Aussies call me legend,” and Iggy commented: "I could think of a few other things to call you."

When a fan then asked if the pair were dating, DeAndre replied: “Yes indeed,” whilst the ‘Fancy’ hitmaker called the sporting star “her man”.

The new romance comes after Iggy recently revealed she had a “crush” on a man who follows a vegan diet, as she admitted she would have to let him go because she’d never be able to stop munching on sausages.

She wrote on Twitter: "Yes, iam eating tater tots and a hot dog for dinner.. at home, in my house. YES. iam 28 years old.

"I seriously need to get it together. at least i have solace in the fact iam not alone.

"Its true, iam a millennial and i dont want three children.

"and my crush is vegan. clearly i need to give it up. him i mean. im not gonna live life without hotdogs.(sic)”

Meanwhile, in May, the ‘Kream’ rapper insisted she was “still extremely single”, following rumours she had struck up a romance with fellow rapper Tyga.

Addressing the speculation on Twitter at the time, she wrote: "I thought it was fairly obvious, but I feel I need to clarify again. I’m still extremely single & im not dating anyone. Honestly.”

And in July, she admitted she was feeling “so alone”, and would ideally like to find someone to date who isn’t in the music business - a box which DeAndre ticks.

She said: "I'm so alone! I'd like to find a person [whose] not in the music industry."
