The rumours surrounding their relationship surfaced in mid-2024 when fans noticed both Tyla and Geo posted pictures from Japan at the same time. His appearance in her music videos for Breathe Me and Truth or Dare only added fuel to the fire, leaving fans thoroughly convinced that their connection went far beyond a standard professional collaboration.

A man bearing a resemblance to Geo was also seen in a viral video showing Tyla appearing heavily intoxicated and being carried into a car.

He was also spotted at the 2025 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards with the singer, and while they have maintained that they were merely close friends, fans suspect that there was much more to their connection.
