The music scene’s biggest shocker—D4vd’s mystery woman turned out to be a minor. When the L.A. party circuit first spotted the singer’s latest companion, most assumed it was another celeb romance. The girl seen hanging out with him at parties, Celeste Rivas, was believed to be his girlfriend. She looked older, carried herself like a college student, and told people she was 19 and enrolled at USC. The truth, revealed in a TMZ bombshell, was far more disturbing: Celeste was only 14 years old, a teenager using multiple fake IDs to slip into age-restricted clubs and high-end hangouts.
For weeks, no one questioned her story. In a scene where celebrities and their entourages blur the lines between the glamorous and the reckless, it seemed almost normal to see her alongside D4vd at over-18 events. Friends now say they’re stunned, claiming they had no reason to doubt her identity. To them, she was simply another young woman caught up in the nightlife.
The situation grew darker when news broke that Celeste had been reported missing several times in 2024 and came from what police described as a troubled home. According to her mother, she had been dating someone named David. When her remains were discovered inside the trunk of a Tesla linked to D4vd, the story shifted from gossip to tragedy. The coroner confirmed the body as Celeste’s, found just a day after her 15th birthday.
D4vd’s friends and peers in the music industry describe him as soft-spoken and gentle, struggling to reconcile that image with the grim headlines. Investigators, meanwhile, have seized electronics and searched a Hollywood Hills property tied to the singer. His tour was abruptly canceled, promotions were halted, and collaborators distanced themselves, leaving his career in limbo as the case continues.
What remains unanswered is how Celeste died, how her body ended up in the car, and what role—if any—D4vd played in her final days. For now, the only certainty is that a teenager who convinced an entire scene she was older than she was ended up at the center of one of the music world’s most chilling scandals, and the truth is still unraveling.
