Tyga’s new girlfriend was approached for ‘Love Island’.
Bosses of the dating show reached out to Playboy model Carla Howe because they wanted her to take part in the forthcoming series this summer, but they have been forced to revoke the offer since learning that she’s dating the 28-year-old rapper.
A source told OK! magazine: "’Love Island’ approached Carla and asked her to do the show – but obviously, that was before they knew she wasn’t single. If it wasn’t for the situation she’s in currently she probably would have done it, as there is real chemistry between the people on the show. But she’s in a relationship now, and is taking things slow with Tyga – but things are looking really good for the pair so far."
However, although they’ve been together since July last year, Carla knows that the rapper – who previously dated Kylie Jenner – has a "wandering eye" and she’s already warned him that she’ll leave him in a flash if he does anything to jeopardise their love.
The insider explained: "Carla has made it clear that if Tyga gets a wandering eye she won’t be sticking around – so the show could potentially be on the cards for her, should things change between them."
Carla and Tyga first started to get know one another in March last year – while the rapper was still dating Kylie – but the brunette beauty kept it purely platonic.
A source told The Sun Online: "Carla and Tyga started dating officially in July but he’d been messaging her since the March. She knew he was still with Kylie so apart from a couple of friendly replies, she didn’t take it any further.
"He contacted her through Instagram and complimented her on her photos. He said he could help her career too. As soon as his relationship with Kylie ended he upped the ante and was messaging Carla non-stop.
"That’s when she got more serious and started responding. She would never have seen him while he was dating Kylie. Tyga has never talked about Kylie when they’ve been together and Carla has never brought it up."
