Elle Varner finally confirmed via Instagram Wednesday night that she and New York Knicks player Iman Shumpert are officially an item. The singer posted this photo of she and Iman cuddled up next to each other with the caption: “Happy Birthday to my super amazing, talented, handsome, strong, sexy, intelligent BOYFRIEND!”

While on the red carpet for the ASCAP Awards on Thursday night, HipHollywood caught up with a blushing Elle to talk about her boo thang, Iman. “He’s awesome. We’ve been friends for such a long time. Of all the guys that I’ve met throughout being in the limelight he’s the one guy that really stuck it out and built a friendship with me, and it meant a lot,” Varner dished.

“I’m glad I’m not hiding it anymore, it was a lot of work,” the singer added.

It looks like we will be seeing the 24-year-old at some games next season.
