Who is Gabriela Chiquin? GTA 6 fans think they have already found the real-life inspiration behind the cover girl

As the wait for Grand Theft Auto VI, aka GTA 6, is growing by each passing day, there's another viral GTA 6 frenzy. Fans appear to have wasted no time turning detectives after Rockstar unveiled the game's official cover art. While, just days after the surprise announcement was made about the pre-orders of the game that is supposed to start on June 25, social media users began speculating about the identity of the blonde girl featured prominently on the cover of the game. However, Rockstar has not yet confirmed anything on the same, but the theory has already sparked widespread discussion online. Some are even convinced that they may have found the real-life inspiration behind the artwork. Let's find out more.


Well, following the reveal of GTA 6's official cover art, many fans were relieved to see Rockstar stick with the franchise's iconic design style, complete with the series' signature elements such as the main protagonists, vehicles, helicopters and the now-famous cover girl.

Now, soon after the artwork was unveiled, the social media users started to speculate about the possible real-life inspiration behind the female character featured on the cover.

While one viral post on X (formerly called Twitter) claimed that fans had linked the character to Gabriela Chiquin, a DJ, artist and music producer, citing what they described as a striking resemblance between her photos and the artwork.

However, the claim remains purely speculative. Rockstar Games has not confirmed that the cover character is based on any real person, and the theory appears to stem solely from the visual comparisons shared online. Even the post read, "Users have reportedly found the GTA 6 hot cover girl in real life. She is Gabriela Chiquin, a DJ, artist, and producer. Fans have pointed out a strong visual resemblance between her and the cover girl. This is only a rumour due to the similarities and is not confirmed at all; based on photos from her Insta, Rockstar has not confirmed any connection to a real-life individual for the cover design."


On the other hand, photos shared on Chiquin's Instagram feature beachside and lifestyle shoots that some fans believe resemble the aesthetic of GTA 6's colourful promotional artwork.

However, the speculation remains unverified as Rockstar Games has not made any official statement yet that links her to the cover art. A user on X wrote, "Why does all of this even matter? This is the first time people seem to be outraged by the GTA cover girl for no fucking reason."

"I may be a little colour-blind, but is her skin lighter in the art?"

"That's not her; they thought the GTA V girl looked like Lohan back in the day too," and more.

Shortly after Rockstar unveiled GTA 6's official cover art, fans began speculating about the identity of the blonde woman featured prominently in the artwork. While some believed she could be an in-game character, others wondered whether the design was inspired by a real person.

The discussion gained momentum on social media and Reddit, where users started comparing the cover art to various public figures. One Reddit user claimed to have identified a possible real-life inspiration for the character, a theory that quickly spread among GTA fans online.

However, no official confirmation has been provided by Rockstar Games.


Gabriela Chiquin is a Venezuelan model, DJ, and social media influencer who has recently found herself at the centre of GTA 6 fan speculation. Online users have pointed to similarities between her appearance and the woman featured on the game's cover art, noting matching outfits, hairstyles, and facial features in one of her older Instagram posts.

While Rockstar Games has not confirmed any connection, Chiquin appears to have embraced the viral attention by highlighting the comparisons on her social media.
