Ellis and Senicar have reportedly been dating since 2015, but only confirmed their romance in 2017 during aBreakfast Clubinterview.

“I am in a relationship. I’m in a very happy relationship, and that’s where I leave it,” he said at the time, according toBET. “I don’t really worry about anything else, and that’s it. I think for me, we give so much of ourselves in what we do no matter what side of the industry we’re on, so for me… a relationship for me is probably the most important thing that I think two people can have.”
