Tiffany Haddish and Common are officially dating.

The actress and comedian confirmed their relationship status during a recent episode on "Steve-O's Wild Ride!" podcast. "I am in a relationship," she told Steve-O, showing off her freshly shaved head to match Common's bald dome.

"We're twins now," she said sharing his reaction to her new hairdo. "He's like, 'Wow, you did it, man. You've got a lot of courage. You look so beautiful. I love it. And I'm like, 'Ah, put your head on my head.'"

According to Haddish, the couple met when Common played her love interest in her 2019 film "The Kitchen" and bonded over a few occasional spades games.

The comedian previously mentioned she had been quarantining with the rapper. But it appears things have progressed since their virtual date on Bumble earlier this year to raise money for front-line workers and children.

She said so far this is "hands-down the best relationship" she's ever been in and that Common is her first celebrity boyfriend.

"I've lost 20 pounds since I've been in this relationship. I feel more confident in me, and it's not him that's doing it," Haddish shared.

"I'm just way happier, and it's, like, knowing I got somebody that cares about me, that really has my back. It seems like he does anyway, and I love it. I love him."
