Is Danny Amendola married?

Danny Amendola is currently not married. However, he previously had an on-off relationship with the singer Jean Watts for about three years. Reports of their romance first emerged in May 2020. Jean was there to support the NFL star when he retired in July 2022 and shared a tribute to him on Instagram.

“You are an inspiration in every way,” she wrote in her Instagram stories at the time. “From your start to today with the most perfect career imaginable. A true legend.”

Danny and Jean appeared to quietly split sometime in 2023 when fans noticed that all photos of the football player had been removed from the “Chasing Butterflies” singer’s Instagram. Jean reportedly claimed in an Instagram Q&A in June 2024 that she moved out after Danny cheated on her.

Is Danny Amendola dating anyone?

Danny sparked dating rumors with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit beginner Xandra Pohl after the two were spotted sitting Camille Kostek And Rob Gronkowski at Tom Brady‘s Patriots Hall of Fame induction. This month, Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy further fueled speculation by claiming he saw the alleged couple at the event.

“I don’t know if dating is the right word. … They’re together. Yes, we saw it in action. They came in… let me put it this way. Let me rephrase it. Xandra was Danny Amendola’s date for that thing. What they do beyond that — but he definitely took her as his date,” he said on his “BFFs” podcast.

TikTok Detective Stephanie Tleiji (@stephwithdadeets) investigated the rumors further, claiming that in one of her videos, Xandra appeared to be filming from Danny’s house in Austin, Texas. However, in a follow-up video, Stephanie claimed that Danny sent her direct messages seemingly denying the rumors.

“You live a creepy life. I feel sorry for you,” reads an alleged screenshot of Danny’s messages. “You spread gossip about people you’ve never met. This has nothing to do with artistic integrity. This is not journalism. You may get a little change but you sold your soul. Again… I feel sorry for you. And I’m not worried lol. Have a great day.”

Who was Danny Amendola dating?

Besides Jean, Danny dated Olivia Culpo from 2016 to March 2018. They briefly reunited in June of that year before splitting up again, but then reunited on New Year’s Eve. Danny and Olivia split for good in April 2019.

The two split amidst arguments, with Danny criticizing Olivia for living a public life. “I believe there should be a line between personal life and social media. Olivia believes in a fishbowl lifestyle. This fundamental difference was huge in our relationship,” he wrote in a now-deleted post. “If you’re my real friend, you know I’m private. My mom, brother, dad, and nephew are the closest people to me in this world, and you don’t see a single picture of them, and that’s to protect them from those who criticize and judge. I believe in nailing picture frames to the inside of my house to remind the people I love that they matter to me.”

He continued, “Olivia wants to be seen on the internet and in Hollywood to make money. That was hard for me to understand, but I had to learn it quickly. Although I don’t like the price of fame in this world. I’m in it for one reason, and that’s RESPECT.”

The former NFL star is also said to have been linked to a TV personality Kay Adams and influencers Emily Tanner.
