Since he rose to stardom, Keith Powers' dating life has been relatively short, but it remains a subject of interest among fans. He had a public relationship with Ryan Destiny but has guarded his privacy since his split from the actress.
Keith Powers' current relationship status remains to be clarified, though, given how public his previous relationship was, many assume the actor is single. Powers' last known girlfriend is Ryan Destiny, chiefly recognized for her roles in "Star" and "Grown-ish."
The pair had met in 2015 during a Teen Vogue party and began talking on social media. Their connection deepened until they realized they were falling for each other. They went official with their romance in 2018.

"I realized I was in love when I knew my life would be extremely affected in a negative way if Ryan wasn't in it," Powers told Teen Vogue the following year. He added that his love for Destiny ignited naturally, and being with her allowed him to grow mentally.
He also felt that he was ready to take on anything with her at his side. After disclosing their relationship, Powers and Destiny became icons of young Black love. The former couple recognized this, as Powers said:
"It is so important for our people to see healthy Black love. Whether it's a relationship, marriage, or even friendships. Black love gives us hope. When you see Black love flourish, it's powerful."
