    Meet Yai Ariza, Lil Nas X's Dancer (And Rumored Boyfriend)

    Meet Yai Ariza, Lil Nas X's Dancer (And Rumored Boyfriend)

    Folks, meet Yai!

    Born and raised in Colombia and now living in Los Angeles, Yai Ariza is a professional dancer who is making a name for himself performing with the likes of out-and-proud, Grammy-winning rapper Lil Nas X! After kissing X during the BET Awards in June of 2021, there's been all sorts of buzz online that the two are a little bit more than friends, and after X himself posted a sneaky pic on his Instagram Story where he was getting cozy with an unidentified beau, many internet sleuths are surmising that Yai and X might be a thing!

    So who's the man behind the smile? We took a stroll through Yai's Insta feed (make sure to follow him @yai_ariza!), and here are a few things we learned about him!

    He's super cute!

    He and his crew can serve looks (and choreo) in heels.

    And he still looks great, even when keeping it casual.
