From chart-topping songs to cherishable romance, these two have the cutest love story ever! This is Kali Uchis and Don Toliver’s relationship timeline below.
You may have grown familiar with songstress Uchis through her Grammy-winning 2019 collaboration with producer KAYTRANADA, “10%,” or double-platinum single “Telepatía,” which commanded the TikTok streets in 2020. She has released four studio albums, with Orquídeas being her latest this past January. The project featured Peso Pluma, El Alfa, City Girls’ JT, Karol G, and Rauw Alejandro.
Without a doubt, the Virginia native has made soundwaves far beyond her debut mixtape, Drunken Babble, in 2012 or EP, Por Vida, in 2015. However, these days, 29-year-old Uchis sits proudly with her shelf of accolades (Grammy Award, American Music Award, Billboard Awards), son… and man.
That lucky guy happens to be rapper/singer Toliver, who’s most notable for his triple-platinum hits “No Idea” (2019) and “After Party” (2020) which also blew up on the Chinese short-form video app. The Houstonian has teamed up with numerous mainstream artists, such as Gunna, Wiz Khalifa, Migos’ Quavo and Offset, and legendary lyricist Eminem. Matching Uchis, 30-year-old Toliver has four full-lengths, with Hardstone Psycho making its way onto the market on June 14. The awaited production holds guest appearances from Charlie Wilson, Kodak Black, Travis Scott, Future, Metro Boomin, Cash Cobain, and Teezo Touchdown.
But… aside from booming careers and barricades of fans, Toliver and Uchis serve full-blown power couple goals. Here are some highlights of the pair’s forever honeymoon.
