Summer Walker Appears With Mystery Date At 2025 MTV VMAs

At the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Summer Walker surprised fans by attending with a mystery older white gentleman, sparking widespread speculation about her new relationship and a potential shift in her dating preferences. The singer, known for her previous relationships with younger men including her baby daddy LBRD Pharoh, appeared affectionate with her date, later captioning her Instagram post with "f*** my type," signaling a break from her usual patterns. Social media reactions ranged from amusement to celebration, with many applauding her for embracing what they dubbed a "sugar baby era," citing financial security during tough economic times. The mystery man is believed to be actor James Neal, though some suspect the appearance might be a publicity stunt linked to her upcoming album "Finally Over It."
