Laroi on what Tate McRae does that ‘makes him melt'
The 21-year-old Sydney-born star has been dating McRae since January 2024, and he opened up about his relationship with her and the admiration he has for the Canadian.
When asked by Elle Magazine if there was anything the Sportscar singer does that 'just makes you melt'.
'That's easy. Every time she smiles, it makes me weak,' he said.
The Girls singer also said McRae, also 21, has imparted much wisdom onto him in terms of building a successful career in the music industry.
'She's the hardest-working artist I've ever met in my entire life. And I don't say that because she's my girlfriend. Seeing how hard she works inspires and encourages me to follow along and do the same,' he said.
'There's something really, really motivating about that—and really attractive as well.'
Elsewhere in the interview, Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, said that while he thinks he has 'okay style', he 'always' asks McRae for 'opinions'.
'But I think over the years I've definitely got a lot better with my personal style,' he said.

'I went through a phase when I just wanted to buy designer, with the biggest logos you could see. Once I got over that, I started figuring out what fits me a little better, what I look better in. I'm getting pretty dialled in.'
Laroi also said the Greedy singer left him baffled when she couldn't make decisions about food.
The couple recently wined and dined together in Paris with views of the Eiffel Tower, before McRae's concert for her Miss Possessive world tour.
They were also spotted looking very fashionable on a day out in the City of Love which included a stop at the French Open.
McRae has so far performed 16 shows since May in cities across the UK and Europe. She is set to hit the stage in Poland on Friday night.
While McRae fans, known as Tatertots, have many more shows to look forward to on her tour that, at this stage, ends in November, fans of Laroi are getting hyped for new music.
His new song All I Want Is You is set to drop soon which is the start of the rapper's rollout of new work.

Boxing legend Jeff Fenech slams Aussie backyard ‘fight club'
WARNING: EXTREME CONTENT The rapper behind a brutal underground fight club in Sydney's west has blasted Jeff Fenech after the boxing great's criticism of his events. As first reported by The Daily Telegraph, an amateur boxing series called The Hood Contender has sprung up on social media in recent months, drawing the attention of NSW Police. The brain child of rapper Hoodrich Hefner, whose real name is Caleb Valeri, the events claim to be staged 'for men's health' and to 'earn honour and respect'. Watch the biggest Aussie sports & the best from overseas LIVE on Kayo Sports | New to Kayo? Join now and get your first month for just $1. Valeri's Instagram account has over 78,000 followers and features a series of videos from the fights, which are open to amateurs only, weighing between 80 and 100 kgs. The entrants wear MMA gloves and are only required to bring a mouthguard to compete, with some shocking fights taking place at undisclosed locations. Fenech strongly criticised the series, calling it 'sad' in an interview with the Telegraph and declaring 'your friends will call you tough … but see if they're there in 30 years when you need someone to wipe your arse'. Valeri clearly didn't take kindly to the publicity from Fenech's comments, teeing off on an Instagram video on Thursday. 'G'day Jeff mate, look all you had to do was ask me to come to the Hood Contender event and I would've allowed it,' he said. 'But now you've gone and spoken to your little media buddies and f**ked it for everyone. Now you're not welcome at our events. 'But you could've come down and seen it for yourself. 'We don't sell tickets, any money the fighters make are donations from people in the crowd, OK? 'There's no alcohol, there's no crowd fights, we have security, we have first aid, we have medics, we have all the good stuff on standby for our fighters. 'No one's getting stabbed, no one's getting their head kicked in, no one's drinking and knocking some bloke out from behind, he hits his head on the ground and he's f**king in hospital for the rest of his life. 'There's none of that mate, it's a well controlled sparring event. You should come down and really check it out. 'I reckon you would love it, you and your little mates. Come down and check it out and tell me what you think.' Valeri hosted the first Hood Contender event in June and then another on July 13. Despite claiming fighters only earn 'donations' from onlookers, Valeri stated in his initial launch video on May 30 the winner would earn $5,000 and have the chance to earn another $1000 for knockout or performance of the night, calling it a 'founder's gift'. He appealed to interested men in Sydney, the Central Coast or the Newcastle region 'who love a scrap', adding the series would soon be expanding to other states. It also has almost 20,000 subscribers on YouTube, with the most recent video earlier this month receiving over 148,000 views. In the introduction of that latest video, Valeri explains some of the genesis for the idea. 'We've set up a Hood colosseum with hay bales, it's quite exciting. We hope to bring a great production to the viewers at home watching,' he said. 'Our main objective is for men's mental health. What we're doing right now is for men's mental health. 'We want boys to come here, earn honour and respect and be mates at the end. 'We want to provide a platform for boys that have got talent and sitting in the street right now with a lot of talent. 'You might have a few kids, you might be married, just working a job, no spark in your life. This is for them boys.' Valeri has been snapped with MMA great Mark Hunt, while current UFC fighter Navajo Stirling appears in an Instagram video checking out some of the action. In one video, a fighter dislocates his shoulder and has it popped back in before continuing. In others, a 'referee' steps in to stop the contests, with a fighter clearly on top. The Hood Contender has drawn a huge number of likes and comments on its social media posts, including some responses to Valeri's message to Fenech. One wrote on Instagram: 'Exactly right, the fighters wanna fight, everyone has respect and manners and the crowd is a better vibe then any event I've seen before. Lots of motivation and love there.' Another said: '(Fenech) hates to see that your doing more with less … no promotion no sponsors nothing just men being standing on their word and 2 successful events NO ISSUES. tell him Bring his best fighter.' A third wrote: 'Nothing better than having a scrap with gentleman and shaking hands regardless of the decision all love at the end of the day.' Another wrote simply: 'Can't wait for the next one.'

Perth's DCC sets record straight on unusual hairstyle
One of the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders' newest recruits has set the record straight after she was spotted donning a hairstyle not associated with being a DCC. Perth's very own Faith Ward is one of five new rookies to join the famous cheerleading team in Texas that is known for implementing strict rules on the dancers, including extreme beauty guidelines. Following the 2025 team announcement last week, eagle-eyed DCC fans noticed that Ward was the only cheerleader with her hair styled in a ponytail, contrary to the hair-down look that has become synonymous with the squad. On Thursday, Ward confirmed on social media that the ponytail was here to stay after having her official team photos. 'I've been hearing a lot of tales, and I'm here to set the record straight,' she said in a video on Instagram. 'Well, as you can see here, my headshot, that's how it all started, so that's how they found me, that's how they saw me, and I guess they just preferred me with my hair up rather than out there's not that much tea to it.' The 22-year-old said the controversial hairdo made the team's brutal training camp debut two weeks in. If you'd like to view this content, please adjust your .

The Wellington-born, who is the first New Zealander to make DCC, also revealed the reaction from squad director Kelli Finglass. 'Ariana Grande is all she had to say, which I was like, that's amazing, obviously my hair was a little bit shorter at the time, so we added some longer extensions, went a bit blonder,' she said. Friends and fans took to the comments section with mixed reactions to the rule-bending. DCC veteran Charly Barby said: 'Our pony princess.' Faith Ward with her fellow rookies. Credit: Supplied 'This is so iconic. The girl with the ponytail!' a fan said. Another fan said: 'Normalise ponies cause my hair would be a full frizzy mess covered in sweat if I was doing all this with it down.' 'Is Faith really Faith if she doesn't have her iconic slick back ponytail?' a third fan added. Another fan said: 'The ponytail looks SO good!! And I love the uniform on her. She honestly looks like she was born to be a DCC.' However, one fan disagreed with the hair change. 'I think you're gorgeous, but I prefer the down hairstyle of all the DCC! The hair rule STAYS DOWN,' they said. Meanwhile, others paid attention to a film crew in the background of Ward's video, where they hoped for an announcement of season three of the hit Netflix show America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Faith Ward is representing New Zealand and Australia. Credit: Supplied 'I see a film crew in the background 👀 season 3?!' a fan said. It comes after Ward herself hinted at another season where fans would get an insight to her DCC journey after explaining how overwhelmed she felt during her first training camp lesson. 'The first lesson when I came in, I'm sure you guys will eventually see, I'm a deer in headlights,' she told PerthNow 'Going into an environment where I'd never done the style before, never held a pair of pom poms, and didn't know any of the routines, while all the veterans around you know what they're doing is extremely intimidating. 'Plus, you're literally fighting for your life in front of Judy and Kellie, so you want to do the best you can.' 'Girl, hopefully Netflix releases season three. I would love to see that too.'
