Trevor Noah, who has become a familiar presence at the Grammy Awards, has long kept his personal life out of the spotlight. Despite speculation, the comedian and former Daily Show host is not married, nor has he publicly confirmed being engaged.
Cosmopolitan reports that he has been linked to several women over the past decade, based largely on public appearances, media reports, and statements from sources close to those involved.
Early relationship in South Africa
Before his move to the United States, Noah was in a relationship with Dani Gabriel, a physiotherapist and musician, between 2014 and 2015, according to Cosmopolitan. At the time, Noah was still building his international comedy career, and Gabriel reportedly traveled with him during his stand-up tours.
After their split, she publicly expressed support for his success. Gabriel later married in 2023.

Dating after The Daily Show
Following his appointment as host of The Daily Show, Noah dated Jordyn Taylor, a model and luxury real estate agent, from 2015 to 2018. The relationship was his first to attract sustained public attention, with the pair attending industry events together.
Their breakup was kept largely private at the time, though Taylor later alleged that aspects of their relationship influenced Noah’s comedy material, a claim reported by People and cited by Cosmopolitan.
Relationship with Minka Kelly
Noah’s longest reported relationship in recent years was with actor Minka Kelly, whom he dated on and off from 2020 to 2022. Sources told US Weekly and People that the two were serious and at one point explored buying a home together.

More recently, Noah was linked to South African content creator Zoë Mabie in early 2024, though neither has commented on the speculation.
