Matt Rife: Biography, Relationships, and Career Updates

Few modern comedians have a dating rumor cycle as closely watched as Matt Rife’s, partly because he feeds it so rarely. The 29-year-old, who has been dating fitness model Mariah Morse since March 2025 according to People, prefers letting stage work speak while tabloids fill in the rest. Between the Netflix specials, the tour dates, and the headlines, here’s the version of Rife’s story that holds up to checking.

Age: 29 (born September 10, 1995) ·
Height: 5’10” (178 cm) ·
Birthplace: Columbus, Ohio, USA ·
Years active: 2015–present ·
TikTok followers: 20.1 million ·
Notable specials: “Only Fans” (2021), “Lucid” (2023)

Eight facts, one pattern: the stable ones are biographical, the volatile ones are financial and romantic.

Here is a biographical breakdown of the comedian and actor.

The pattern: biographical data stays solid while earnings and relationships shift with each new report.

What happened with Kate Beckinsale and Matt Rife?

Of all the rumors attached to Rife, the Kate Beckinsale chapter never hardened into a confirmed story. During 2023, online speculation linked the comedian and the actress, fueled mostly by social media interactions and shared-event appearances. Neither side ever confirmed a relationship, and the chatter had largely cooled by early 2024.

Rumors and public sightings

• The rumor’s fuel was social: fans connected Rife and Beckinsale through likes, comments, and occasional sightings in the same spaces during 2023.
• No red-carpet confirmation followed, and neither camp issued a statement about the other.
• Rife’s later relationship followed the opposite path — press photos and a tabloid report, then silence from both parties.

Official statements or lack thereof

• No official statement from either Rife or Beckinsale ever resolved the question.
• The rumor died from neglect, not denial: with no new photos and no comments, coverage moved on.

The pattern: without confirmation, a rumor is just a headline waiting to expire. The Beckinsale story expired exactly that way — and Rife’s relationship with Mariah Morse showed what happens when a rumor finally gets acknowledged.

Is Matt Rife in a relationship now?

As of the latest reports, the answer depends on which headline you read. TMZ first reported on March 31, 2025, that Rife was dating fitness model Mariah Morse (TMZ (celebrity news outlet)). IMDb News similarly traced the relationship to roughly March 2025 (IMDb News (entertainment database)). Then came the acknowledgment, the Instagram post, and a 2026 report that the couple had reportedly split.

Current relationship status as of 2025

• March 31, 2025 — the date of TMZ’s first report on the romance.
• June 2025 — Rife confirms Morse is his girlfriend.
• July 2025 — the couple’s birthday post makes it Instagram-official.
• 2026 — Daily Mail reports a split and mutual unfollowing (Daily Mail (British tabloid)).

What this means: Rife’s personal life now has its own release schedule — March 2025 rumor, June confirmation, July Instagram post, 2026 split report. Following the story in real time means reading a serialized tabloid biography that Rife himself rarely edits.

Who has Matt Rife dated in real life?

The confirmed list is short, and the rumor list is long. The only person Rife has publicly acknowledged is Mariah Morse; everything else is speculation built from social media interactions and tabloid timing.

Past rumored partners

• Kate Beckinsale — linked to Rife by 2023 online speculation; never confirmed by either party.
• Livia Brito — the subject of rumor cycles driven by social media interactions; no confirmation ever followed.
• Brief unnamed rumor cycles — Rife has said he keeps personal posts minimal because of how intensely fans react; his own words appear in the quotes below.

Confirmed relationships (if any)

• Mariah Morse — the fitness model Rife confirmed as his girlfriend in June 2025. TMZ broke the romance in March; Just Jared documented the Instagram-official moment in July.
• Public acknowledgment came in stages: a June confirmation, then a July 2025 birthday post that marked the couple’s first widely noted Instagram acknowledgment.

The pattern: one confirmed relationship and a rumor list that runs on silence. The less Rife posts, the more the speculation grows — and the more each confirmation, when it finally comes, turns into a headline.

What is Matt Rife’s net worth?

“Forty million dollars” is the most repeated figure in 2025 net-worth roundups, but it is not the only one. Published estimates for Rife span $25 million to $50 million, and the spread is worth understanding before you quote any single number.

Sources of income

• Stand-up: a 2026 international tour with announced Dublin and London dates.
• Streaming: the 2023 Netflix special “Lucid” and a new Netflix special announced for December 2, 2025.
• Merchandise, social media, and acting: a TikTok following of 20.1 million and credits including “Room 104” and “Bodak Yellow” feed the same brand engine.

Estimated net worth figures

• Forbes, via Soap Central, included Rife on its 2025 Top Creators list and estimated his wealth around $50 million (Soap Central (entertainment news site)).
• Celebrity Net Worth, republished by MSN, estimated $40 million (MSN (news aggregator)).
• The Tradable reported roughly $40 million and flagged a published range of $25 million to $50 million (The Tradable (finance blog)).
• Bored Panda also reported $40 million while noting Forbes’s higher estimate (Bored Panda (digital culture magazine)).

Why this matters: net worth in entertainment is a trailing indicator. The Forbes and Celebrity Net Worth estimates were both published before the 2026 tour went on sale; if Dublin and London sell out, the next round of estimates will likely drift upward again.

What are Matt Rife’s upcoming tour dates?

The clearest signal about Rife’s next chapter is the 2026 international tour. Dublin and London are confirmed stops, with more cities advertised on his official channels and Ticketmaster.

2026 tour dates

• Dublin and London headline the announced 2026 run.
• The tour lands right after the December 2, 2025 Netflix special announcement, pairing a streaming drop with live dates.
• Additional cities and venue-specific dates are listed on Rife’s official site and ticketing pages.

How to buy tickets

• Ticketmaster is the primary ticketing channel for the announced dates.
• Rife’s official site lists the full schedule, including any VIP or presale options.
• Buyer caution: checking the official list before resale sites is the safer route, given how fast comedy tour dates move.

The tell: Rife is treating the special and the tour as one product. A December 2025 special followed by a 2026 international run means the relationship headlines — whatever they are by then — will only add to ticket demand.

Matt Rife: key dates on record

Ten dates, one pattern: a decade of quiet club work, then a two-year sprint through Netflix, TikTok, and tabloid timing. The table below combines the biographical baseline with the relationship and tour reports.

The shape of the story is visible now: the career moved in five-year increments until 2023, then everything compressed — Netflix, 20 million followers, a public girlfriend, a rumored split. The next beat belongs to the 2026 tour.

What’s confirmed vs. what’s still unclear

This is the honest split: the public record is solid on the basics and much thinner on money and motives.

The balance: the confirmed list is short but solid; the unclear list is short but wide. Read a headline about Rife, and check which column it came from before repeating it.

In his own words

“Yeah, it’s my girlfriend, Mariah.”

“…people are absolutely insane.”

— Matt Rife, on why he keeps personal posts off social media, via Yahoo Entertainment (entertainment news platform)

TMZ’s March 31, 2025 dispatch noted that neither Rife nor Morse had spoken publicly about each other at that point — the silence that made the later confirmation newsworthy.

People’s coverage tracked the couple from March 2025 through the summer — vacations, their dogs, and comedy-show appearances included.

The implication: Rife’s public voice is minimal and deliberate — two blunt sentences did more to shape his 2025 coverage than a dozen press releases.

Why this matters

Rife has turned the oldest comedy trick — control the stage, control the story — into a modern media strategy. The same silence that let the Beckinsale rumor die quietly is the silence that made the Mariah Morse confirmation a headline, and the machine that built 20.1 million TikTok followers now tracks his every unfollow. For Matt Rife, the choice is clear: keep the personal life locked down and let the December 2025 special and the 2026 tour do the talking, or accept that every quiet Instagram post will be read as content either way.
