Social media personality Haliey Welch, widely known as the 'Hawk Tuah Girl', has had fans buzzing when she teased an announcement about her dating life. Over the weekend, Welch hinted at revealing her mystery partner, and her podcast, Talk Tuah, shared a post featuring a few possible candidates, including Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold. This led many fans to speculate about a potential romance with the football star.
However, the suspenseful buildup turned out to be a playful red herring. Welch soon confirmed that her actual boyfriend is named Kelby, not Darnold. She also shared a funny story about her cousin KK catching them off guard during a date, adding a personal touch to the reveal.
"KK is a G," Welch said.
"I was scared. I didn't wanna go by myself. So he started kissing me and by the time I looked over, I saw KK peeking up from under the covers looking at me."
Thriving on social media
As Welch's online presence continues to surge, she's been expanding her brand. Since her viral "Hawk Tuah" catchphrase caught fire, she's been filing trademarks to use it on products ranging from mouthwash and snacks to apparel and even sports betting, solidifying her spot as an internet sensation.
On the football front, Sam Darnold had a tough game recently, throwing three interceptions despite passing for 241 yards. Despite this setback, he's had a solid season with 2,141 yards, 17 touchdowns, and a 68.6 percent completion rate.
