It’s been quite a whirlwind couple of hours for “The Daily Show” host Trevor Noah.
First, the 38-year-old comedian was spotted having dinner in New York with 27-year-old singer Dua Lipa before they smooched on the sidewalk afterwards.
The pair are both coming off recent relationships, with Lipa having previously split from her boyfriend Anwar Hadid last December and Noah having reportedly broken up with Minka Kelly just a few months ago.
Twitter users have shared their shock and bewilderment at the news of their rumoured romance.
“idk dua lipa dating trevor noah is the most random thing i’ve ever seen,” said @keaaaaley.

With the rumours swirling across the net, Noah then announced that he’d be leaving “The Daily Show” after seven years as its host.
In a video shared by the show on social media, Noah said that he was filled with gratitude at the opportunity he’s had hosting the show.
He also reminisced on a truly “wild” journey and recounted how in the beginning, things were rocky, and many people didn’t believe in him because it was “a crazy bet to make”, but eventually, they found their feet.

“Trevor Noah took over from Jon Steward and ran that desk his own way.He turned complex political stories hilarious.Making news less morbid and more enjoyable. He hosted the Grammy’s and White House correspondence dinner, a milestone for comedians.I can’t wait to see what’s next,” wrote @dumigwebu.
