Brittany Renner Describes Her & Mystery Man As “Lovers”

As mentioned, Renner’s alleged new boo hasn’t been shy about spending time with her. Not much is known about him, but his bio reads, “SEV!NTEEN,” while his tag name is Director X. It’s unclear how long they’ve known each other, and when they started officially dating, and how serious the romance is.

He first posted about their Big Bear Mountain trip on December 27, sharing a video of them in the car, in a store and outside, admiring nature. The caption read, “Road trips are better now,” and tagged Brittany Renner’s IG.

His second post, three days later, showed them getting fitted for snowboarding and testing it out. In that clip, she repeatedly called the mystery man, “bae” and “babe.” She commented on the post at least five times. She joked about needing an “oil can,” having fun and it being a “humbling experience.”

Meanwhile, his third post on Dec. 30, included three cozy selfies of him and Brittany Renner. In the caption, he wrote, “Time well spent,” and she commented, “Lovers” and a GIF of Shrek. See a recap of the posts below.

All three posts had Brittany Renner tagged as a collaborator, which means her 4.4 million followers also caught a glimpse of the new romance vibes. The latest “lovers” post has collected over 1,300 comments and nearly 22,000 likes. While some encouraged the “happily in love” vibes, others couldn’t steer away from her recent past with Kevin Gates, and the physical changes she dropped after that romance ended.
