Melanie Martinez has once again caught the attention of her loyal fanbase. Entertainment fans and followers alike are buzzing after recent social media behavior that strongly suggests she is now dating Australian actor Mojean Aria. While Martinez and Aria have not commented publicly on their relationship, their flirtatious Instagram stories, including a clip of the two kissing, have led many to believe they are now dating.
The news comes not long after Martinez’s breakup with her long-time boyfriend, Verde, which introduces an additional intrigue factor. Some fans celebrate her new relationship, while others criticize the timing. The public fascination with Martinez’s personal life remains as lively as ever.
The rumors got stronger on March 16, 2025, when entertainment channels alleged Martinez and Aria had exchanged intimate content with each other. The duo shared photos, videos, and stories on Instagram, leading fans to believe they were “Instagram official,” sources say.
Then, 30 minutes after one of the posts went up, the pair reportedly shared another Instagram story of them kissing—which, for most fans, was all the confirmation they needed. Some skeptics have wondered if the posts could be part of a film project or movie teaser, but the consensus is that this is a real relationship.
Another social media source referred to them as “confirmed dating,” which added to the excitement. While Martinez or Aria has not made an official statement, celebrities allow social media to speak for them these days.
Mojean Aria is a talented Australian actor with a successful career. In 2017, he was the first multicultural winner of the Heath Ledger Scholarship, a victory that cemented his place in the industry.
Aria has also helmed some large projects, including “Shayda,” which won the Audience Award at the Sundance Film Festival. He has starred alongside Hollywood A-listers like Hugh Jackman in “Reminiscence” and Antonio Banderas in “The Enforcer.” With a filmography that encompasses indie films, large-scale films, and even TV shows like Apple TV+’s “SEE,” Aria is a star in his own right on the rise.
While most fans are happy for Martinez, some have queried the timing of the relationship. Not long ago, the singer was in a long relationship with her now ex-partner, Verde. According to sources, the two split recently, and some fans worry that things are moving too fast.
Social media has been full of split reactions. Some fans were concerned about Verde’s feelings, while others speculated whether this relationship could affect Martinez’s music. Some even debated whether Martinez should be “canceled”—the usual reaction in today’s internet culture whenever a public figure does something objectionable.
Whether this coming together is a new romance chapter or a working partnership, one thing is for sure—people are watching.
Martinez continues her music career, and Aria develops his filmography; their rumored relationship has added another level of interest in their public lives.
