Chase Infiniti & Tyriq Withers Are Officially A Couple
The internet's prayers have been answered!
No, this isn’t another piece of social media fan-fiction — it sounds like Chase Infiniti and Tyriq Withers have entered into a romantic relationship. The two actors have been shipped relentlessly online due to their flirtatious encounters throughout the 2025 and 2026 awards season. Call it some strange form of manifestation, because now, the breakout movie stars are reportedly an actual couple.
People broke the big update on May 15, with a source close to Infiniti confirming she and Withers have advanced from just friends to romantic partners. “Chase is having fun and dating,” the source said. “She's in a really good place and enjoying herself like any young woman.”
The couple has taken a very unique journey to find one another. Both were relatively unknown prior to 2025, when they both starred in breakout movie roles — Withers helmed the thriller Him, and Infiniti courted Oscar buzz in her debut film role for One Battle After Another. As they both grew acquainted with Hollywood as similar movie events, they seemed to be drawn to one another more and more, becoming a fan-favorite pairing at several awards season events.
