“Hard launch”: Drag Race UK vs the World winner Tia Kofi reveals new boyfriend

Drag Race UK star Tia Kofi is officially off the dating market.

The last few days have been quite the rollercoaster ride for the beloved talent. 

At the end of March, Tia made herstory when she was named the winner of Drag Race UK vs the World season 2. 

In addition to snagging the crown and title of ‘Queen of the Mothertucking World’, the South London-based performer became the first queen of colour to win a Drag Race UK season. 

She’s also the first recipient of the UK franchise’s £50,000 cash prize. 

“This means the absolute world to me. To go from baroness basic to ‘Queen of the Mothertucking World’ is wild, but it proves that you can do anything that you set your mind to,” she exclaimed during her speech.

While Tia has been on cloud nine over the last week, her groundbreaking win isn’t the only thing bringing a smile to her face. 

On 4 April, the talented queen revealed to her 347k Instagram followers that she has a new man in her life. 

Taking to her Instagram story, which was screenshotted by Out, Tia uploaded a photo of herself and a mystery man posing in the cobblestone streets of Lisboa, Portugal, with the caption, “Hard launch.” 

As of this writing, Tia has yet to reveal the identity of her new partner.

Before hard launching her new relationship, the “UK hun?” singer was previously linked to fellow Drag Race UK star Pixie Polite, with the two talents dating for five years. 

Fortunately, their breakup wasn’t messy. During an episode of Drag Race UK season four, Pixie revealed to Danny Beard that they were still close friends. 

“Me and Tia are still very close, and it’s hard being here, knowing after all that we’ve been through, that she is at home really being my biggest cheerleader,” she revealed. 

Tia echoed similar sentiments on the Drag Race UK vs the World season two reunion when Michelle Visage asked if Pixie’s rivalry with Jonbers Blonde influenced her pick of the former’s lipstick.

While the ‘Lovin’ Me Like That’ singer said that her decision was due to Jonbers’ performance, she admitted to feeling weary about whether she and the Northern Irish queen would get along, adding: “Because, obviously, I’m still friends with Pixie.”
