New York’s biggest tennis stage always pulls a mixed crowd of athletes, actors, and musicians during its two-week run. This year, the final days brought another layer of hip-hop star power to Flushing Meadows.

21 Savage and Latto arrived together at the US Open on September 12. The pair stepped out side by side for one of their first major public outings as a couple. Machine Gun Kelly joined them as they reached the venue. Latto wore a plaid top with a beige skirt and matching cap. Savage opted for a striped polo, cap, and sunglasses. The looks fit the event’s mix of sporty polish and street edge.

Both artists have kept their relationship largely private for years. Dating rumors date back to collaborations and shared appearances.

Latto confirmed the romance in late 2025 by calling Savage her man during a New York street interview. The couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, earlier in 2026. Savage already has three children from prior relationships. The new arrival marked a clear shift in his day-to-day life.

American rapper Latto turns heads on the blue carpet while attending the 2026 US Open tennis tournament at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York City. Embracing the viral "tennis-core" aesthetic with a high-fashion streetwear twist, the 27-year-old artist showcases an expensive, preppy look styled completely in head-to-toe monogrammed Gucci separates. She balances the luxury coordinates by pairing a structured, beige and ebony GG canvas pleated mini skirt and a matching signature GG monogram visor with a clean, tight-fitting white tank top accented by brown piping along the collar and straps. Clutching a matching miniature Gucci top-handle handbag that showcases the brand's iconic double-G supreme pattern, she pulls the sporty-chic ensemble together with stacked diamond tennis necklaces, a luxury watch, clear acrylic nails, and a sleek high ponytail pulled through her visor. Posing confidently against the royal blue backdrop emblazoned with the official white US Open logo, her viral courtside style moment became one of the most talked-about celebrity fashion highlights of the tournament.

Savage recently discussed that change on Netflix’s The Pete Davidson Show. “My first three [kids], I was younger, running around in the street. It was different. Now, I’m in the house, I had the baby all night, making her bottles, changing her diapers.

It’s kinda like a different bond type shit,” he said. He added that experiencing both early and later fatherhood felt valuable. The comments landed just days before the tennis outing and underscored how the pair has settled into family life while staying active in music.

Latto released her album Big Mama around the time of the birth. The project leaned into her new chapter with personal tracks. Savage has continued releasing music and features, including work with her. Their low-key approach stood out in an industry that often turns private lives into content.

Public joint appearances remained rare until this weekend. The US Open crowd already featured plenty of familiar faces from sports and entertainment. Adding the two rappers plus Machine Gun Kelly simply raised the energy further.

Tennis tournaments have long doubled as fashion and celebrity showcases. The blue carpet and luxury suites draw the same mix year after year. This appearance gave fans a clear visual of the couple’s coordinated style. Social posts quickly circulated the images, noting the coordinated fits and the easy group vibe with Machine Gun Kelly.

No dramatic statements came with the outing. It simply showed two working artists enjoying a high-profile event as new parents.

Savage built his career on precise, street-rooted records and a careful public image. Latto rose with confident Southern rap hits and strong visual branding. Their partnership now sits at the intersection of music success and quiet domestic stability. Machine Gun Kelly’s presence added another cross-genre connection familiar to New York nightlife and festival circuits.
