Mock is multitalented, and isn’t just an actor, but a skateboarder, photographer and model who’s worked with the likes of Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Calvin Klein, Dior and Bulgari

Blond-haired model-turned-actor Evan Mock is causing a stir after being spotted on what appeared to be a low-key date night with Blackpink’s Rosé in New York City on the weekend, per J-14.

The day before, Rosé dropped the music video for her latest single “Toxic Till the End”, which stars Mock and shows the pair sharing an on-screen kiss and several intimate scenes, sending K-pop fans into a frenzy.

According to J-14, Rosé described herself as single as recently as November on the Therapuss with Jake Shane podcast.

Meanwhile, 27-year-old Mock – who is best known for playing Aki Menzies in HBO Max’s Gossip Girl reboot – was previously connected to fashion photographer Gray Sorrenti. Since then, Sorrenti has been seen getting close to Romeo Beckham.

So, what do we know about Rosé’s potential new beau, Evan Mock?

What is Evan Mock’s background?

Born to an American father and a Filipino mother, Mock grew up in the tranquil Waimea Bay, Oahu, in Hawaii. He loves to skate and surf … and wander the island shirtless, apparently.

“The lifestyle we were living as kids was really a fantasy. I was home-schooled. We would go surfing when the waves were good and do our school whenever,” he told Mr Porter in 2021. At 18, he moved to California to focus on his career as a pro skateboarder before moving to New York.

He was discovered by Frank Ocean

In 2019, American artist Tom Sachs recorded a short video of Mock skating and sent it to his friend “Frank”. Little did Mock know that Sachs’ friend was actually singer Frank Ocean, who posted the video online and made Mock an overnight social media star.
