Lizzy McAlpine and Kane Ritchotte Fuel Dating Speculation With Coordinated Instagram Post

April 25, 2026

Lizzy McAlpine appears to have entered new romantic territory. The 26-year-old singer and actress has seemingly gone public with a relationship involving musician and producer Kane Ritchotte, with both stars recently sharing an identical photo on their Instagram accounts.

The pair's coordinated post strategy suggests they're ready to let fans in on their connection. Two weeks prior, McAlpine shared a photo carousel featuring a shot of herself and an unidentified man standing in close proximity, each sporting camouflage pants. Days later, Ritchotte posted the very same image across his own grid, and the two exchanged playful comments beneath each other's uploads.

"??" Ritchotte wrote on McAlpine's post, with McAlpine responding to his with a simple "?"

The timeline of their relationship remains unclear at this stage. McAlpine's last publicly confirmed romance ended nearly two years ago when she and Michael Hanano split.

Ritchotte brings considerable experience to the music world as a member of SRCHR, the band preparing to release their upcoming album Searcher. His production credentials extend to collaborations with major artists, including work on Miley Cyrus' recent album Something Beautiful, and co-production duties on Portugal the Man's SHISH record.

Meanwhile, McAlpine recently expanded her career into acting, making her television debut this year on School Spirits season three. The supernatural series stars her friend Milo Manheim, who helped facilitate the opportunity.
