She’s gorgeous, she’s hilarious, she’s internet famous — and she might just be dating B.J. Novak. But who really is Delaney Rowe?
If you’ve seen a tall, dark, and wryly handsome man skulking around New York City hotels with a blonde who looks like she could kill with a punchline, odds are you’ve spotted B.J. Novak and his rumored flame, Delaney Rowe.
He’s the 45-year-old brains behind The Office. She’s a 28-year-old digital siren with a TikTok army and a resume as unconventional as it is magnetic. Are they dating? Neither has confirmed it, but if proximity is any indication, this isn’t just a PR mirage. They’ve been spotted multiple times — most notably at the Bowery Hotel in December 2024 — and the internet’s connecting the dots faster than a true crime subreddit.
So who is this sharp-tongued internet enchantress turning Novak’s head? Let’s get into it.
1. She’s Got Millions Watching Her Every Move
If you’ve been asleep at the algorithm wheel, wake up. Delaney Rowe has quietly amassed over 3 million followers on TikTok and another million on Instagram, thanks to a steady stream of character-driven skits that straddle the line between satire and self-exposure.
“I just wanted to show people I could be funny,” she told Vanity Fair. TikTok, for her, wasn’t some vanity project — it was a digital audition tape that blew up.
Her videos? Think “LA Girl Trauma”, “Midwest Girl in LA”, “Girl Who Thinks Every Song Is About Her” — all painfully accurate, delivered with the deadpan precision of a sniper raised on Freaks and Geeks reruns.
2. She Used to Cook for the Hollywood Elite
Before the internet crowned her Queen of Cringe Comedy, Delaney was feeding egos — and stomachs. We’re talking Stan Lee, NFL stars, and LA elites. She literally hustled her way into Hollywood kitchens by stuffing fliers into mailboxes in Beverly Hills like a 1950s vacuum salesman.
She told Delish she branded herself “Delaney Rowe, Private Chef” — complete with a headshot on the back. It worked. The right people called. And she showed up, knives sharpened and ready.
3. A Lindsay Lohan Movie Changed Her Life
Forget Juilliard. Delaney’s origin story starts with Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. That 2004 Lindsay Lohan flick flipped a switch in her Idahoan brain and sent her chasing the spotlight.
It’s a bizarrely fitting launchpad — both chaotic and iconic. Just like her.
4. She’s Built a Career Out of ‘Cringe’
Rowe’s bread and butter is hyper-specific, painfully relatable satire. Her videos channel the inner monologues of every emotionally unstable, overly self-aware millennial who ever moved to a big city chasing a dream.
She doesn’t see her content as cringe — she sees it as accurate. “I’m not reinventing the wheel,” she told The Cut. “I’m just doing things I’ve seen.”
And that’s why it works. It’s not parody — it’s anthropology. Rowe’s not mocking these tropes, she’s cataloging them. Studying them like Jane Goodall with a ring light.
5. She’s from the Wilds of Idaho
Before she was filming viral sketches in sunlit LA apartments, Delaney Rowe was growing up in Idaho, surrounded by trees, snow, and parents who were into way more outdoor sports than she ever cared to be.
She described herself to Passerby as a “theater kid trapped in a Patagonia catalog.” She did ballet. She did Shakespeare. She stayed inside while her folks mountain-biked into oblivion.
And now? She’s rebranded that early-stage melodrama into a career — and possibly, a Hollywood romance with one of the industry’s most elusive bachelors.
Final Thought: Watch This Space
Is she dating B.J. Novak? The jury’s still out. But while paparazzi chase shadows, Delaney’s busy writing her own script — and people are watching. Whether it’s romance or just a mutual admiration society of awkward genius, one thing’s for sure:
Delaney Rowe is not just the girl next door — she’s the girl you moved across the country to avoid, then realized too late was your soulmate.
