The 25-year-old singer previously hinted at her relationship with the Philadelphia 76ers player, calling him her "little boo thang" earlier this month, and she's now admitted that they are, in fact, a couple.
During an interview with Billboard, Tinashe was asked whether she has a favourite NBA player, and she replied: "Duh!"
The 'No Drama' hitmaker subsequently joked that news of her relationship has been revealed before she had the chance to announce it on Instagram.
She said: "He's like my full boyfriend, I guess. Yeah, you heard it here first ... It was official before it was on the 'Gram; that was just when everyone else found out."
Tinashe's boyfriend has already been given a preview of her long-awaited new album ' Joyride', which will be released next month.
However, she feels "super weird" about playing her new music to Ben.
She confessed: "I'm really weird about playing my music for people.
"I'm weirder about playing my music for people I actually know than people I don't know. I don't wanna play it for my mom, don't wanna play it for my dad, don't wanna see my brothers listening to it. I'm like really weird about it, I don't know why."
In 2017, Tinashe claimed that being a woman in the music industry is "sh**ty".
The singer said people mistakenly think that her career has been "easy" because she looks like a "cute little girl".
She explained: "Being a woman in the music industry can be sh**ty.
"It's been a continuous process educating people that you can be a well-rounded artist and human who can make things that sound different. It's easy for people to think you have it easy because you're 'just a cute little girl.'"
