American rapper, songwriter, and record producer Austin Richard Post “Post Malone” may very well be America’s favorite bad boy. In any case, he certainly has the look—and the money—to prove it. Covered in tattoos from head to toe, the twenty-five-year-old artist has not been afraid to commit to the style of a true twenty-first-century rebel.

However, just because Post has adopted an edgy look doesn’t mean that he has been a bad boy with the ladies. The rapper has had at least three girlfriends over the years, many of whom are said to inspire the lyrics of his songs.

Now some fans may be wondering: Who are the women that have captured Post Malone’s heart? What is the relationship between these ex-girlfriends and Post’s music?

We have done a bit of digging into the rapper’s past and compiled some facts about the women behind Post Malone’s lyrics.

Post Malone's Relationship With Ashlen Diaz

In 2015, Post began dating Ashlen Diaz, and at the time, it definitely seemed that the rapper was more than smitten. A review of Post Malone’s official Twitter account shows that on December 19 of that year, the young sensation wished Diaz a happy birthday with some truly romantic words:

“Happy Texas time birthday to the most wonderful thing to ever happen to me Ashlen Nicole Diaz,” Post’s tweet reads.

The singer also made his feelings towards the young woman both very clear and very public. “I love u,” he confessed in the publication.

According to Daily Mail, however, the rapper may not have always been the ideal boyfriend. Diaz reportedly told her fans, we take breaks,” in a June 2018 Q&A.

Diaz and Post parted ways in 2018; however, the relationship continues to have an impact on the rapper’s repertoire. Nicki Swift reports that the inspiration behind Post’s song ‘Deja Vu’ is actually none other than Diaz herself.
