Alabama Barker Hard Launches New Boyfriend Amid Bhad Bhabie Feud

If you Googled Alabama Barker a few weeks ago, you’d have probably only gotten results about her feud with Bhad Bhabie. But if you look her up now — and if you’re here, you probably did — you most likely want to know about her new boyfriend.

Barker has hit pause on the diss track relay to hard launch her relationship with UCLA football player Scooter Jackson. Over the weekend, Barker posted her first video with Jackson on her TikTok account, where she lip-syncs to Latto’s “Big Mama” while sitting on her new boyfriend’s lap wearing matching red ‘fits. (Barker also posted a second video with Jackson, but it has since been deleted.)

Over on his account, Jackson was earlier in professing his love publicly. Last week, the cornerback posted a video of the two hugging in bed while lip-syncing to Beyoncé and Jay-Z’s “Part II (On the Run).” He captioned the post: “Who wants a perfect love story?”

Jackson followed up the post with another video of the two seemingly from the same hangout, where Barker is seen caressing his cheek.

Then, timed to Barker’s hard launch video, he posted a third video with her lip-syncing to “Triple S” by YN Jay and Louie Ray.

Who is Scooter Jackson?

According to his Instagram, Jackson hails from Compton, California, and is 6’1″ tall and 175 pounds. Though he played as a cornerback for Utah Tech for two seasons, he recently returned to his home state, where Barker famously resides, after being transferred to UCLA. At the time of writing, neither Jackson nor Barker have yet spoken about how they met.

What about Le Vaughn?

Barker’s new romance comes on the heels of her highly publicized beef with Bhad Bhabie. The two budding rappers, though once friends, have been embroiled in a feud involving the latter’s on-again-off-again boyfriend, Le Vaughn. (ICYMI: Bhad Babie and Le Vaughn have been linked since 2020, have tattoos of each other’s faces, and welcomed their first child together, named Kali Love, in March 2024.)

The drama between Barker and Bhad Bhabie, whose real name is Danielle Peskowitz Bregoli, began unfolding in December 2024 when Bhad Bhabie accused Barker of cheating with Le Vaughn. The feud reached its peak a couple of months later, with both releasing a slew of diss tracks for each other, most recently Bhabie’s “Ms. Whitman.”

In fact, as Barker hard launches her new relationship, Bhabie is currently teasing another diss track to add to the feud featuring an Alabama Barker lookalike and blink-182 references.
