The beauty guru, 37, posted the first image to Twitter alongside a caption that read: ‘Goodbye LA, time to spend time with my #NFL boo in Wyoming.’
And online detectives started falling over themselves trying to figure out the identity of the mystery American football player.
Everything in the image has been scrutinized, from the girth of his legs to the shape of his ankles and even the way he ties his shoelaces.

The biggest revealing feature that many spotted was what looked like a mole, freckle or mark from an intravenous drip on his hand, which they claimed could indicate he recently underwent surgery.
The internet sleuths even went to the extent of identifying the plane, its cabin space and how tall that would make the player.
Many suggested they had solved the riddle but refused to give a direct answer in order to keep the mystery going.
And, on Monday, Star teased yet another glimpse of his new lover in a post to Instagram which showed his unidentified partner wearing a Louis Vuitton co-ord with his back to camera.

Star snapped the bathroom mirror selfie while what appeared to be a gun rested near the basin.
The picture was captioned: ‘His team didn’t make it to the #SuperBowl but he’s 6’6 and plays perfect in the bedroom.’
But this is just the latest in a long line of romances for Star who has previously been linked with a whole host of famous faces including basketball player Andre Marhold, TV personality Jozea Flores and actor Sean van der Wilt.
Here, FEMAIL takes a look inside Star’s wild dating history.
Cara Cunningham (formerly Chris Crocker): May 2005 – July 2009
Star’s first known long-term relationship was reportedly with Cara Cunningham.
Cunningham, who was formerly known as Chris Crocker, had forged an impressive fan base on MySpace before setting up a YouTube channel with her self-directed monologue videos usually shot in her grandparents’ home.
Star and Cunningham were two of the most influential names on social media when they reportedly started dating.

Not much is known about the pair’s relationship but interest in Cunningham seemed to peak in 2007 with the release of her ‘Leave Britney Alone!’ video.
In the clip, Cunningham gave an impassioned speech in defense of Spears’ comeback appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards.
Her lackluster performance of her single Gimmie More was widely panned, with fans and critics alike noting that she seemed to put in barely any effort.
But the next day Cunningham recorded herself under a sheet as she cried and screamed as he enumerated Britney’s personal struggles and told critics to back off.

In February 2014 Cunningham (pictured now) first told Queerty that she was thinking about transitioning to a female gender identity but it was not until August 2021 that she officially came out as transgender
The short clip quickly went viral — and earned the then teenager a seemingly endless stream of mockery.
Her rumored romance with Star was never officially confirmed and neither shared further insight into their time together or how it ended.

Nathan Schwandt: March 2015 – January 2020
Skateboarder Nathan Schwandt shared a five-year relationship with Star after sliding into the beauty guru’s Instagram DMs.
During their relationship, Schwandt had reportedly helped manage the shipping department of Jeffree Star Cosmetics – and also served as a collaborator and model for some of the business’s other ventures, featuring in multiple videos posted to Jeffree’s YouTube channel over the years.
In 2019, the couple appeared to be going from strength to strength after they moved into a multi-million dollar mansion in Hidden Hills, California.

The long-time boyfriends paid $14.6 million for the sprawling estate where their neighbors included the likes of Kris Kardashian, Kylie Jenner, Drake, The Weeknd, and John Stamos.
Their 25,000 square-foot home boasted eight bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, ballroom, sauna, spa room, two-story gym and wine cellar.
Speaking about the move at the time, Star told his Instagram followers how he was ‘f**king excited’ to move into a new space.
‘For Christmas I was like, “B***h I’m ready to move.” Me and Nathan, we’ve outgrown this house right here two years ago, b***h. I look like a hoarder, there’s been no room,’ he said.
Star often posted video content documenting the couple’s life in mansion which they shared with a brood of Pomeranians – but their fairytale lifestyle was not set to last.

The beauty guru cited reasons for the split which included Schwandt’s aversion to the limelight, the loss of one of their pets and family health problems
In January 2020, Star shared a 17-minute clip to YouTube, titled ‘We Broke Up’, to tearfully announce that the pair had parted ways.
The beauty guru cited reasons for the split which included Schwandt’s aversion to the limelight, the loss of one of their pets and family health problems.
He said: ‘There’s no easy way to say this but we did break up. I’ve used a lot of this time of silence to just try to heal.
‘We’re both in a state of shock. I’m devastated, I’m so sad. And the love of my life is no longer– I don’t wake up to him anymore.

‘He’s no longer here every morning and my routines have changed and I’m just in a state of shock right now. We both are.
‘This isn’t an internet fight. This isn’t drama, this isn’t tea. This is my real life, and me and my soulmate are really going through it.’
Schwandt moved back to Michigan a short time afterwards.
Rumors of cheating later surfaced but this has never been confirmed.
Mitchell Halliday: January 2020
In the immediate aftermath of his split with Nathan, fans started speculating that Star had moved on with fellow makeup guru Mitchell Halliday.
Halliday, who first made a name for himself in the UK reaching the bootcamp stage of X Factor 2016, started out in the industry on US reality show American Beauty Star a year later.
He first met Star in 2018 and had remained close friends, even scheduling a makeup masterclass tour together in Europe before it was later canceled.
Rumors linking the pair romantically began after they posted similar images of the same sunrise to their respective Instagram Stories – with fans believing it meant Halliday had stayed the night.

But despite the frequent meet-ups both Star and Halliday were quick to dispel the rumors.
In one of his YouTube clips in February, Star began: ‘Mitchell is here in town, in LA, he’s staying at my house and…’ Mitchell then interjected: ‘In a separate room!’
Star continued: ‘So, me and Mitchell were watching the sun rise – not set – for some reason some channels and news sites popped up like, ‘Is this Jeffree’s rebound?’ All jokes aside, the last thing I’m trying to do is be in a relationship with anyone. Me and Mitchell are really close friends.’
He continued: ‘So today we are going to create a really sickening look – no, we are not sleeping together.’
Jozea Flores: June 2020
After several months of being single, Star appeared to be getting back on the dating scene once again.
In early June 2020, Star shared a series of snaps as he spent time with TV personality Jozea Flores, known for his appearances in Big Brother and The Challenge.
In one such photo uploaded by Star, Flores was seen laying out naked in his backyard with Star captioning the steamy snap: ‘My view.’

Flores responded with a snap of his own, which showed the pair together sitting together in the sun, alongside the caption: ‘Had to make a stop by Hidden Hills.’
Just a few weeks later Star posted a YouTube clip featuring Flores titled ‘First Date Does My Makeup.’
The YouTube star, who was reportedly the instigator of the romance after sliding into Flores’s inbox, documented the entire date.
Moments before it began, Star said: ‘We don’t know each other at all. We hung out for an hour the other day and we vibed.’

The pair enjoyed dinner together with Star also asking Flores to do his makeup for him so they could get to know each other better – and it was then that he decided to set the record straight.
Star told fans neither of them are looking for a serious relationship right now but that they were simply ‘exploring’ where the date could go.
Neither confirmed an official relationship and just a short time later Star began dating someone else.
Andre Marhold: August 2020-October 2020
In the summer of 2020, basketball player Andre Marhold became Star’s latest boyfriend.
The makeup mogul initially kept Marhold’s identity a secret by posting a picture sitting on the lap of a man whose face we could not see.
But it did not take internet sleuths long to decipher Marhold’s identity based on his distinctive arm tattoos.
Once their secret was out, Star then began posting pictures openly of the pair together – but the short-lived relationship was not without drama.

Not only was Star left fighting off claims that Marhold was still in a relationship with the mother of his child when they first got together, but the internet sensation was also forced to deny rumors that he had paid the athlete to date him.
Disputing the allegations at the time, Star wrote on Twitter: ‘I know it’s devastating news for some people, but I don’t give money to anyone I’m dating or anyone who is f***ing me. Work on your own insecurities sis, I’m not the problem.’
But things only got messier when the pair split just a few months later with Star accusing the professional athlete of stealing designer items from his house.
In a now-deleted comment on Marhold’s Instagram, Star wrote: ‘Hey! Since you can’t answer the phone right now, can you give me all the stuff back that you stole from my house??’
Star later claimed that: ‘All of a sudden there’s some Louis Vuitton luggage missing, there’s some backpacks missing and there’s a few sunglasses missing. So everyone saying, ‘Jeffree Star got robbed,’ someone just stole a few things.’
And the drama did not end there.
In response to the claims, Marhold began threatening to share something he had discovered about Star in his room unless he retracted what he had said.

In a series of Instagram Stories, Andre wrote: ‘I found something in your room as well care if I share with your supporters?’
He also alleged that Star had been cheating on his former boyfriend Nate Schwandt, adding: ‘Your last guy left because you f***ed his close friend that’s sad not to mention… Let’s just say this is going to ruin you.’
Marhold then shared a message from Star saying his lawyers were involved because he had signed a non-disclosure agreement before entering the relationship.
The posts were taken down but Marhold later took part in a tell-all interview to further share his thoughts on the drama that unfolded.
The athlete alleged that Star, who has been accused of racism multiple times, had biases that led to Marhold being accused of robbery.
The basketball player, who has always denied the allegations and was never charged, also claimed that the relationship came to an end due to Star’s control issues which had stemmed from the alleged cheating in his relationship with Schwandt.
Kanye West: January 2021
In January 2021, Star was forced to deny wild speculation that he had been one of the reasons behind Kanye West’s split with Kim Kardashian.
The controversy engulfed the pair after TikTok personality Ava Louise claimed to have inside knowledge of the impending divorced of the high-profile duo.
Louise said she did not have ‘concrete evidence’ to confirm the affair but attributed the information to an entertainment attorney she claimed to have spoken with.
The social media user insinuated that there had been a romance between them when they both happened to be in Wyoming.
‘Kanye’s been hooking up with a very famous beauty guru, male beauty guru, a lot of people in the scene have known for a while,’ Louise said.

It did not take long for Star to post a video to YouTube titled Addressing The Kanye Rumors in which he discredited the claims.
And a few months later he circled back to the alleged romance when speaking with E! News.
‘I think the rumors are funny, they’re hilarious,’ Star told the outlet. ‘I think the coincidence is crazy when you live in Hidden Hills, two miles away from him and then I’ve always loved Wyoming and I was obviously aware that they had been going there a lot.’
The cosmetics entrepreneur said the Grammy-winning artist is not his type.
‘I really did mean when, I say I really do like tall men,’ he said. ‘I think Kanye’s music is amazing, but he’s definitely not for me.’
Sean van der Wilt: February 2021
Just a month later Star was rumored to have struck up a relationship with Trisha Paytas’ ex, actor Sean van der Wilt.
The wheels were put in motion when Star posted a photo of an unknown half-naked male on Twitter in February 2021.

It did not take long before Perez Hilton shared the tweet and identified the man in the photo as Sean van Der Wilt.
The gossip columnist wrote: ‘Sources tell me that #JeffreeStar’s new man is #SeanVanderwilt. Match made in hell!’
Neither confirmed whether the claims were accurate.
