While fans were quick to comment on the seemingly intimate nature of the photos, several responses suggested the interaction may have been misunderstood.

Some noted that the man might have been shielding McRae from paparazzi shots, particularly as she moved up the boat’s steps.

McRae has been in a relationship with fellow artist The Kid Laroi since 2024. The couple has been relatively public, making red carpet appearances together and subtly referencing each other in interviews.

Their last public outing as a couple was at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party in March 2025. 

There has been no official comment from McRae or her representatives regarding the identity of the man in the boat photos or the nature of their interaction.
