Paige Spiranac has put to bed rumours that she's been involved with and , although she did admit to once fancying Xander Schauffele. The social media star has become a familiar face of late, racking up 11million followers across various platforms.

With four million Instagram followers and 1.6million on TikTok, the 32-year-old previously competed as a professional after showing promise during her university days at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University. Since then, she's had a go at the LPGA Tour, before switching her attention to modelling and teaching - all while keeping a keen eye on her favourite sport. Her status as an influencer has also sparked significant public curiosity about her personal life.

However, the viral sensation - who divorced Steven Tinoco after four years of marriage in 2022 - has largely kept quiet on the subject. While Spirinac did confirm last year that she was dating finance executive Zach Brantly, and she appeared with him on the red carpet at the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch party, she has mainly kept her love life under wraps.

However, she recently revealed on her The SPINvitational show that she once had a crush on golf star Schauffele during their time at SDSU. She said: "I did go to school at SDSU with Xander Schauffele and another fun fact is I had a crush on him and he wanted nothing to do with me.

"He met his wife Maya at SDSU, so it was meant to be. Didn't work out for me in that way." She also quashed rumours that she's ever been involved with a celebrity - dismissing speculation that she dated superstar Brady and golf pro DeChambeau.

She said: "[I've] never been on a date with anyone famous. I've had pro athletes or famous people slide in my DMs. I've never dated anyone famous.

"It's funny because I'll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson and then a headline claimed I was 'dating' (him).

"It's like any time I shoot content with a male celebrity, that's the headline or all of the comments, which can be really difficult for my job where I work in a male-dominated industry...It's really frustrating because I've never dated anyone famous ever, not even close."

Last year, she confirmed her relationship with Brantly, saying: "Yes, I do have a boyfriend. He works crazy hours and he works a lot so what we do is whoever is busier, the other person will pick up the slack."

Addressing misconceptions about her off-camera personality, the influencer also admitted that she's quite different in private. She added: "I'm very much the opposite of the person I am online. I always say it's my alter-ego.

"I think that's another misconception that I'm outgoing and a party girl because of my image online. I have severe social anxiety. It's funny that I'm doing what I'm doing now."
