Iggy Azalea well and truly took her new relationship public on Saturday night.

Two days after posting a cute photo of the pair backstage at a concert to her Instagram account, the Australian singer chose to forgo a hole-in-the-wall private restaurant in favour of a happening LA hotspot to debut her budding romance with her new beau, LA Lakers basketball player Nick Young.

Despite the obvious nature of their date night, the pair implemented their best avoidance tactics as they exited BOA Steakhouse in single file.

But they couldn't keep it up, as once their ride was brought around by the valet, they both jumped into his midnight blue Ferrari sports car together before zooming off.

The pair first began a flirtation via Twitter in September, with the athlete dubbing the pretty blonde his WCW (Woman Crush Wednesday).

On October 29, the Beat Down songstress tweeted her support for the basketball star, who signed to his new team in July this year following a 12-month stint with the Philadelphia 76ers.

Moving on: The Australian showed off her 'Live Love A$AP' finger tattoos, the latter of which was crossed out after splitting with rapper A$AP Rocky in June, as she left the hotspot, clad in a black maxi-dress, green leather jacket and boots

'Goodluck tonight @nickswagypyoung so proud of you for making the toon squad. Ahhh!!!' she wrote.

The 23-year-old hitmaker was dressed to impress for her date on Saturday, wearing a form-fitting black maxi-dress, grey peep-toe booties and a bright green leather jacket.

She wore her long golden tresses down in a crimped style and kept her make-up neutral and fresh.

Kicking on: The pair made a point of walking out of the eatery in single file, though they left together in the 28-year-old athlete's midnight blue Ferrari

Her 28-year-old new flame kept it casual in black pants, a matching T-shirt and an open white, grey and pink plaid shirt, while he did the gentlemanly thing of carrying the pair's leftovers.

The rapper broke up with her longtime love A$AP Rocky in June, citing that they were both too young, though she was deeply in love with him.

In fact, the star still bears the 'Live Love A$AP' finger tattoos she got while with him, though she had the A$AP crossed out.

Cue to the mean comments as expected. Very predictable. I see couples like this everyday when I go out in public. People can carry on bashing them as if these type of relationships don't happen everyday when they do, actually they're more prevalent nowadays than ever. In fact they've been going on forever, humans will do as they please and you cannot stop them. It's life. Red arrow me for truth telling, it hurts anyway for those who can't take it anyway.

No surprise here, female singers that don't have much of a successful career always go for the basketball players who are more famous and have more money than them.
