Gia Duddy Appears To Confirm Relationship With NFL Wide Receiver Via Intimate Post Ahead Of His Week 1 Game [PHOTOS]
This article was originally published on Total Pro Sports.
Gia Duddy first became a household name in NFL circles for reasons unrelated to football. She went viral during the 2023 draft, sitting beside then-boyfriend Will Levis. Cameras captured her reaction to every pick that wasn’t him.
That relationship ended in September 2023. Duddy’s presence around the league never really faded, though. Her following kept growing, and so did fan curiosity about her personal life.
Months of hints finally seem to have added up to something concrete this week.
Photo Booth Strips Offered The Clearest Hint Yet
Duddy shared Instagram stories showing photo booth strips from a night out. One frame captured her sharing a kiss with a man partially obscured by a heart sticker. The images came from The Fox Bar & Cocktail Club in East Nashville, adding fuel to speculation that had been building for weeks.
A separate post showed Duddy and the wide receiver posing together in front of a store window, looking happy and affectionate.
It was pretty much a teaser, though. The video only showed Duddy and her friends dancing to “Cotton Eye Joe” after what appeared to be one too many drinks, much to fans’ amusement.
Football account Dov Kleiman went further. He stated directly that Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas “has officially made it public that he is dating” Duddy.
Kleiman’s post framed the relationship as confirmed, even though neither Duddy nor Iosivas has issued a formal joint statement addressing it themselves.
The signs had been building for months before this latest development. Duddy attended Cincinnati’s training camp this summer.
She posted a vlog referencing “our boyfriend’s practice” and zoomed in on Iosivas during a catch. She later shut down separate rumors linking her to comedian Druski, clarifying that a viral photo simply showed “another curly white girl.”
Iosivas Quietly Building An NFL Career
Iosivas brings his own compelling backstory to the pairing. He starred as a rare two-sport athlete at Princeton, competing in both football and track. The Bengals selected him in the sixth round back in 2023.
He’s developed into a reliable red-zone target since then. Iosivas recorded 36 catches for 479 yards and six touchdowns during his best season in 2024. Fans first connected him to Duddy back in August, after she was spotted attending his preseason game in person.
Duddy had previously danced around confirming the relationship publicly. She even acknowledged she was dating someone on the Bengals without naming him directly. This week’s photos appear to close that gap for good, giving fans the clearest look yet at her new relationship.
Whether an official announcement follows remains to be seen. Given how much attention Duddy’s love life has generated since 2023, more confirmation likely won’t be long in coming either way.
