[Credit: Instagram] Joe Jonas is kicking off 2026 with a new wave of dating buzz after seemingly “soft launching” a romance with Puerto Rican model Tatiana Gabriela. The singer set social media alight when fans noticed his flirty interaction on Gabriela’s New Year’s Eve Instagram post, a move many interpreted as his clearest signal yet that he’s moved on from his high-profile divorce.
[Credit: Instagram] The moment in question came when Jonas left a drooling emoji under Gabriela’s post, a small but deliberate gesture that didn’t go unnoticed. While neither has publicly confirmed their relationship, the comment was widely seen as intentional rather than casual, especially given the timing and Jonas’ usually measured online presence.
[Credit: Instagram] That digital hint followed months of quiet speculation. Jonas and Gabriela were first spotted together in late summer 2025 during a low-key coffee outing in Los Angeles, and insiders say the relationship has been developing slowly and deliberately rather than as a rebound. Recent sightings suggest the pair has grown increasingly comfortable being seen together.

For many fans, that detail signaled a level of seriousness beyond casual dating, fueling the belief that this romance is already well past its early stages.

Originally from Mayagüez, Puerto Rico, she moved to New York City after film school and brings a cinematic, vintage-inspired sensibility to her modeling work. Signed with Killer Management, she has worked with brands such as Diane Von Furstenberg, For Love & Lemons, and Dolce Vita.

She was later spotted near Danielle Jonas at a Jonas Brothers concert and appeared at the same New Year’s Eve gathering as Kevin Jonas’ sister-in-law, adding fuel to rumors that she’s been quietly integrated into the family orbit.
[Credit: Instagram] Jonas and Gabriela’s shared New York City base has allowed them to keep things relatively low-key, with sightings ranging from Brooklyn dates to West Village outings. Despite the new romance, Jonas has continued to emphasize his positive co-parenting relationship with Sophie Turner, suggesting an amicable transition into this new chapter. While the couple remains silent, fans are convinced the “soft launch” says everything they need to know.
