Honestly, if you’ve spent any time listening to the masterpiece that is SOS, you’d think SZA was constantly in the middle of a Shakespearean tragedy. She sings about wanting to kill her ex and his new girlfriend with such conviction that it’s easy to assume her personal life is just as chaotic as her lyrics. But the truth? SZA is not married. She’s never been married.
Basically, Solana Imani Rowe—that's her real name—is the queen of keeping us guessing. While she’s happy to pour every ounce of her heartbreak into a Grammy-winning track, she’s famously tight-lipped when the microphones are off.
The 11-Year Relationship Everyone Missed
You’ve probably heard the rumors. People love to speculate. But back in 2023, SZA dropped a bombshell in an interview with Rolling Stone that caught everyone off guard. She revealed she had been in a relationship for 11 years.
Even more surprising? She was engaged for five of those years.
She didn't name him. Typical SZA. However, the internet did what the internet does, and many fans are convinced the mystery man was Scott Sasso, the founder of the streetwear brand 10Deep. They reportedly started dating right after she finished high school. Think about that for a second. While she was rising to fame and dropping Ctrl, she was technically a fiancée.
The engagement ended around 2018 or 2019. She later described the relationship as a bit "lopsided" because he was older and provided a lot of financial stability while she was still finding her feet. If you listen to "Nobody Gets Me," you’re basically hearing the eulogy for that relationship.
What’s the Deal with the 2026 Rumors?
It’s 2026, and the rumor mill hasn't slowed down one bit. Recently, social media went into a bit of a meltdown over Shaboozey.
Why? Because they’ve been liking each other's posts. I know, it sounds thin. But in the world of celebrity gossip, a "like" is basically a public declaration of love. There was even a deleted Instagram post involving a girl running across a street that fans swore was SZA.
Then there's the Travis Scott of it all. They have insane musical chemistry. "Love Galore," "Open Arms," "Telekinesis"—the list goes on. When he showed up on her tour in Manchester, people lost it. But there’s zero evidence they are anything more than high-level collaborators who happen to look cool together.
And don't even get started on the Drake thing. That was real, but it was ages ago. Drake rapped about dating her in 2009 on the track "Mr. Right Now." SZA actually hopped on X (formerly Twitter) to clarify that it happened when she was 20, just to make sure nobody thought anything "creepy" was going on.
Why She Might Just "Tracee Ellis Ross It"
SZA is very open about her struggle with fame and the "psychosis" it creates. She’s mentioned in interviews that she gets nervous about "dying alone," but in the same breath, she’s praised women like Tracee Ellis Ross. She’s said she might just live that life—no husband, no kids, just vibes and being "fine as hell."
She’s also admitted on Chicken Shop Date that she’s "weird." Apparently, her idea of a good date involves swimming in swamps or talking about methane gas.
"I feel like I can catch 'em, but I cannot keep 'em," she told Amelia Dimoldenberg. It turns out, when people realize she’s actually as eccentric as her music suggests, they sometimes back off.

The Bottom Line on SZA's Status
Right now, SZA seems more focused on her mental health and her craft than walking down an aisle. She recently defended Hailey Bieber's marriage against "armchair psychologists" on TikTok, showing she has a lot of respect for the institution, but she’s not in a rush to join it.
If you’re looking for a husband, you won't find one.
What you can do next:
- Listen to "Nobody Gets Me" again with the knowledge of her 11-year relationship; the lyrics hit completely differently.
- Check her official social media for album updates rather than relationship reveals, as she’s more likely to drop a surprise track than a wedding photo.
- Stop trusting TikTok "experts" who diagnose celebrity relationships; even SZA thinks they need to check their credentials.
