Rubi Rose and Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice are leaning into romance — and a little Disney nostalgia — with their latest public moment as a couple.
On Feb. 19, a short video circulated online showing the 28-year-old rapper and the 25-year-old NFL star recreating the famous spaghetti-sharing scene from Disney’s 1955 animated classic Lady and the Tramp. In the six-second clip, the pair sit across from each other at a candlelit table, each twirling opposite ends of a single noodle before meeting in the middle for a quick kiss — a playful nod to one of animation’s most iconic love scenes.
Fans kept the tone light in the replies, calling the moment “aww” and “lovely,” and praising the couple’s chemistry. The comments largely focused on the nostalgic recreation rather than outside headlines surrounding Rice in recent months.
The sweet dinner clip arrives just days after Rose and Rice made their relationship Instagram-official on Valentine’s Day. The couple shared glimpses of flowers, gifts and affectionate snapshots together, effectively confirming weeks of speculation that had been circulating on social media. Observers had previously pointed to shared locations and subtle online interactions as hints of a budding romance.
For Rose, whose breakout single “Big Mouth” helped solidify her place in rap’s new guard, the viral moment adds another chapter to a career built as much on digital savvy as music. Born Rubi Rose Benton, the Atlanta-bred artist first gained mainstream attention through modeling before transitioning into hip-hop. Since then, she has collaborated with major names in the genre and cultivated a strong online following, where moments like this tend to travel fast.
Rice, meanwhile, has continued to build his profile as a key offensive weapon for the Kansas City Chiefs since entering the league in 2023. While the wide receiver has faced off-field scrutiny over the past year, that backdrop didn’t dominate the conversation around the video. Instead, the focus remained squarely on the couple’s affectionate tribute to a Disney classic.
Released in 1955, Lady and the Tramp remains one of Disney’s most beloved animated films, with the spaghetti-kiss scene standing as shorthand for playful, old-school romance. More than 70 years later, Rose and Rice proved the moment still resonates — especially when reimagined for the social media era.
