Delaney Rowe is a 28-year-old American TikTok creator best known for her comedic sketches satirizing film tropes. She is reportedly dating The Office actor B.J. Novak, 45. Having grown up in Idaho, she now splits her time between LA and NYC. Rowe has over 3 million followers on TikTok owing to her clever and self-produced videos.

Rowe's social media influencer career was launched when she began creating videos during the 2020 lockdown while working as a private chef in Los Angeles.

She is well recognized for her hyperbolic portrayals of stereotypical characters, like the "insufferable female lead of an indie movie," brought to life in one of her viral performances. She is a one-woman show as she creates and performs her bits all by herself.

Outside of her TikTok popularity, Rowe has highlighted her interest in acting. During an interview with Bustle on October 18, 2024, Rowe stated:

"I do have a personality that exists outside the stuff that I put out online."

While Rowe does not have many non-TikTok acting credits, she appears to be in the process of building a public profile, which indicates she is likely to take up more conventional acting roles soon.

Rowe also encountered some trouble on the internet. In 2023, it was reported that she landed in hot water for allegedly liking an Instagram post by comedian Amy Schumer, which was a repost of another user’s comment regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict. Some of Rowe's followers got heated with the situation, but Rowe herself chose not to respond publicly.

In her private life, Rowe dates with a non-structured style. She told Bustle that she is not on any dating apps and would rather meet people through friends. She is also quoted by Bustle as saying she believes it is:

‘better to date in the evening’, saying "If you suggest going to get ice cream, a hike, or doing anything in the daytime, it's not going to work. I don’t want to hang out with you until at least 5 p.m."
