D4vd & Celeste Rivas, and the Unsettling Connections: What We Know So Far

The tragic discovery of 15-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez’s body in a Tesla belonging to singer D4vd (real name David Anthony Burke) has raised numerous questions and sparked widespread social media attention. Celeste has been missing since April 2024 and her remains were found September 8, 2025, in the “frunk” of the tesla. While investigation is ongoing, several details have emerged that link D4vd to Celeste, though none have confirmed evidence of a crime.

One of the most striking connections is a matching tattoo. Both D4vd and Celeste have the word “Shhh…” tattooed on their right index finger. That detail was noted by the public and has been widely discussed online, though the significance of the tattoo has stayed unclear. 

Additionally, a song by D4vd, titled “Celeste”, has surfaced. Some listeners believe the lyrics reference her, although the song has not been officially released, and the connection has not been confirmed. D4vd’s earlier hit “Romantic Homicide” is also being revisited by fans who are searching for possible hidden meanings , though the song came out before Celeste went missing.

Photos showing Celeste and D4vd together have also surfaced online. In these photos it looks like Celeste is trying to hide her face, to hide the truth about their relationship as she knows she is too young for him and is afraid to get caught. These images suggest they spent time together, but the exact nature of their relationship has not been made official. Some reports claim that Celeste referred D4vd as her boyfriend and that the two exchanged messages on the app Discord. Screenshots of alleged conversations have been shared online in group chats with other online friends. Many people feel very disturbed as D4vd at the time was 17 and Celeste was 12. D4vd has lost many supporters, not only followers, but other celebrities like Kali Uchis. Kali Uchis had replied to a comment asking what she feels about the news on D4vd. She replies saying that she plans on removing their song “Crashing” from her discography. Everyone seems to turn their back on D4vd. 

It is important to note that while these details are widely discussed, police have not confirmed many of them. D4vd has not been charged with any crime, and authorities have not named him as a suspect. It is official that he has retained legal counsel and is cooperating with the investigation. The Los Angeles Police Department continues to gather evidence and piece together the circumstances surrounding Celeste’s death. 

As the investigation unfolds, the community remains focused on seeking justice and understanding the truth behind this tragic event.
