UCL final streaker's 'flirty messages' from Liverpool stars and where she is now
Kinsey Wolanski has enjoyed several adventures since she was caught streaking during the 2019 Champions League final - from flirtatious messages from footballers to training with a UFC legend
Kinsey Wolanski caught the attention of football fans worldwide - and even a few players - when she streaked during the 2019 Champions League final. The social media star made headlines globally when she dashed across the pitch of the Wanda Metropolitano during Liverpool's 2-0 win over Tottenham, leaving little to the imagination in a black leotard promoting her then-boyfriend's adult website.
Despite her actions earning her a night behind bars in the Spanish capital, Wolanski quickly became a viral sensation, with her social media following skyrocketing to more than two million almost overnight. Despite seeing a wealth of criticism for her publicity stunt, Wolanski revealed that she received some support from the crowd on the evening.
She said at the time: "I confided in the Liverpool fans around me what I was about to do and at first they all said, 'Are you joking?' But when they realised I was serious, they thought it was a brilliant idea. One of them even took my phone and said he would record it for me." Here we look at what Wolanski has got up to since that infamous night.
A break-up with her boyfriend
Wolanski was in a relationship with YouTuber Vitaly Zdorovetskiy at the time of her stunt, but it appears the two have since split. No stranger to a spot of streaking himself, Zdorovetskiy - who goes by the screenname VitalyzdTv - has been responsible for some of the most memorable field invasions of all time.
The Russian waded into the 2016 NBA Finals during a game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Golden State Warriors with 'Trump Sucks' scrawled across his chest, just two years after he made headlines for streaking during the 2014 World Cup final between Germany and Argentina with 'Natural Born Prankster' written on his body.
He also invaded the pitch during the 2022 World Cup quarter-final between Argentina and the Netherlands with a message reading 'Vitaly the GOAT'.
However, it appears as though the 33-year-old's antics eventually drove a wedge between himself and Wolanski, who told the Residency Podcast in 2023: "Vitaly's great guy, we were best friends and we had the same career. But there's only one star in the show. Once I got my career, that was really hard on Vitaly. It got weird and competitive."
While Wolanski has taken a less controversial approach to creating content, Vitaly has continued to find himself in hot water with the law for his social media antics. The streamer is set to face criminal charges after being arrested at Bonifacio Global City on April 2 for allegedly harassing members of the public and security guards during a live stream on Kick. He remains detained in the Philippines as he awaits trial.
'Flirty messages' from Liverpool stars
Wolanski claimed that she received flirtatious messages from several Liverpool players following her Champions League final antics. She said: "I'm not revealing any names, but a couple of the Liverpool players did send me private flirty messages after I streaked the game.
"One sent some heart emojis and the other one a message saying, 'I saw you at the game.' I honestly didn't even know who they were until I clicked on their profiles." Showing loyalty to her then-boyfriend, Wolanski added: "I didn't respond, though, as I already have a boyfriend."
Training with a UFC star
While she has never had a professional MMA fight, Wolanski did once train with former bantamweight UFC champion Cody Garbrandt. With a record of 14-6, 'No Love' will go down in history as one of the greatest to ever compete at his weight class, with his world title-winning fight with Dominick Cruz living fondly in the memories of fans worldwide.
As part of a YouTube series called Pro Athletes Unfiltered, which saw Wolanski try her hand at a variety of sports alongside seasoned pros, she stepped into the octagon with Garbrandt for a spot of MMA training. In a video that captured the event, Wolanski was taught some wrestling moves while also taking down Garbrandt.
Elsewhere in the series, Wolanski enjoyed off-season training with Major League Baseball star Miguel Rojas, ran track with athlete Chari Hawkins and made a splash with Olympic gold-medallist, Michael Andrew.
A harrowing accident and thrill-seeking
Away from content creation, Wolanski has also spent time living life on the edge as a certified skydiver. However, the adrenaline-fuelled activity doesn't come without its risks, as the 28-year-old found out the hard way.
Taking to social media to recount an accident she suffered while skydiving, she said: "For all those asking how I broke my ankle. It was a really windy day skydiving, and I dropped 20ft straight onto my ankle on the landing."
Undeterred, Wolanski has chased thrills via several different avenues - working as a stuntwoman and earning a pilot's licence. Speaking about taking to the skies, Wolanski said: "Getting my pilot's licence was one of the most challenging but rewarding things I have ever done.
"I flew for 112 hours before taking my final check ride exam. You have to pass three exams. An intense written exam, an oral exam on the ground, and lastly, the in-flight exam. This entire process took me 1.5 years."
Fast-forward to 2025, and Wolanski has a successful YouTube channel dedicated to her flying with more than 260,000 subscribers. On this channel, she frequently uploads videos from the cockpit of her single-engine Piper Archer.
Elsewhere, Wolanski has graced the pages of Sports Illustrated and Maxim, launched an OnlyFans channel, and started her own gym-wear brand, all while also working in the real estate sector. Speaking about her ambitions in the past, she said: "By the time I'm 30, I plan on making enough money to retire, and streaking at the Champions League will only help me achieve that.
"After I was released from jail, I had gone from 300,000 followers on Instagram to over two million. You can't buy that kind of publicity. Suddenly, I was famous all over the world and had job offers flooding in. I don't think I did anyone any harm, it was just a bit of fun."

Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool make £113m Wirtz offer, Inter inquire about Hojlund, Spurs target Frank as new manager
Tottenham released a lengthy statement explaining their decision to dismiss manager Ange Postecoglou: FOLLOWING a review of performances and after significant reflection, the Club can announce that Ange Postecoglou has been relieved of his duties. Ange joined us from Celtic in the summer of 2023 and oversaw a period of change on the pitch, returning us to the attacking brand of football that has traditionally been associated with the Club, while writing a new chapter in our history by leading us to UEFA Europa League glory in Bilbao last month - an achievement that will live with us all forever. We are extremely grateful to Ange for his commitment and contribution during his two years at the Club. Ange will always be remembered as only the third manager in our history to deliver a European trophy, alongside legendary figures Bill Nicholson and Keith Burkinshaw. However, the Board has unanimously concluded that it is in the best interests of the Club for a change to take place. Following a positive start in the 2023/24 Premier League (PL) season, we recorded 78 points from the last 66 PL games. This culminated in our worst-ever PL finish last season. At times there were extenuating circumstances - injuries and then a decision to prioritise our European campaign. Whilst winning the Europa League this season ranks as one of the Club's greatest moments, we cannot base our decision on emotions aligned to this triumph. It is crucial that we are able to compete on multiple fronts and believe a change of approach will give us the strongest chance for the coming season and beyond. This has been one of the toughest decisions we have had to make and is not a decision that we have taken lightly, nor one we have rushed to conclude. We have made what we believe is the right decision to give us the best chance of success going forward, not the easy decision. We have a talented, young squad and Ange has given us a great platform to build upon. We should like to express our gratitude to him. We wish him well for the future - he will always be welcome back at our home. News on the appointment of a new Head Coach will be announced in due course.

Who's going to step up and replace Scotland's golden generation?
The youthfulness of Steve Clarke's squad for the friendly internationals against Iceland and Liechtenstein this month has, what with Connor Barron, Kieron Bowie, Tommy Conway, Josh Doig, Billy Gilmour, Max Johnston, Lennon Miller, Nathan Patterson and James Wilson all receiving call ups, certainly been heartening. The members of that nonet have an average age of just 21. Every one of them has a huge amount to offer their country at international level for many seasons to come. They have numerous qualifying campaigns left in them and hopefully a few finals too. The same is true of the injured duo Ben Doak, the Liverpool winger, and Aaron Hickey, the Brentford full-back. It was also encouraging to see the SFA roll out their Cooperation System – which will see up to three Scotland-qualified prospects under the age of 21 move freely between Premiership and Championship parent clubs and lower league outfits on loan from the 2025/26 season onwards – this week. Read more: Similar agreements already exist in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, Hungary and Serbia. Hopefully the long overdue scheme will enable our best prospects, who have often been prevented from gaining much-needed competitive game time in the senior ranks simply because their presence is needed to satisfy homegrown player quotas in European competition, to make the difficult transition from the age-group ranks. That initiative was one of the main recommendations contained within the Transition Phase paper which was co-authored by Andy Gould, the SFA's chief football officer, and Chris Docherty, the governing body's head of men's elite strategy and was published last year. That report contained many worrying revelations, damning findings and stark conclusions about how poorly Scotland is doing in comparison with other countries of a similar size across Europe when it comes to producing talented young footballers who are capable of flourishing in the paid ranks. But if anybody needed reminding just how few professionals are emerging, Brown Ferguson, the former Alloa, Hamilton and Partick Thistle midfielder and the current Stenhousemuir assistant manager who is also the assistant regional performance manager at sportscotland and the high performance manager to Scottish Golf, took to X (formerly Twitter) to tell us. He posted a series of alarming statistics about the Premiership last season. Here are a few of the most startling. Just 31.46 per cent of players to start games in the top flight were Scottish. That is down from 45 per cent three years ago. On average, just 3.23 per cent of players kicking off on a Saturday are under 21, just four out of 132. No fewer than 20 team selections failed to contain a single Scot. Aberdeen and Celtic didn't start an under-21 player in the 2024/25 campaign. The SFA have identified these major problems and are endeavouring to address them. The SPFL clubs, who in the past have shown they are more concerned with self-interest than the greater good, have endorsed and embraced their plans. But is it too little too late? Our leading clubs face a raft of challenges running academies and bringing through youngsters who are capable of representing their first teams every year. The issues which Brexit and raids on their age-group squads by their wealthier English rivals have presented in recent years have been well documented in these pages. Far fewer footballers who are good enough are emerging. These are pretty exciting times in Scottish football with Brighton owner Tony Bloom buying a major stake in Hearts and a consortium comprising American billionaire Andrew Cavenagh and the San Francisco 49ers taking over Rangers. With Hibernian a far more formidable force than they were and Aberdeen lifted by their epic Scottish Cup triumph, next season promises to be a belter. Read more: But the focus in recent weeks has very much been on how much money every club will spend and who will be brought in this summer. The new powerbrokers seem unconcerned about doing their bit to help our national game by rearing homegrown heroes. Sure, wanting to promote youth has been mentioned in passing. It appears, though, fairly far down their list of priorities. Such is the money mad modern game. There is, with Barron, Bowie, Conway, Doig, Gilmour, Johnston, Miller, Patterson and Wilson as well as Lewis Ferguson, Jack Hendry, George Hirst, Andy Irving, Scott McKenna, Scott McTominay and John Souttar all in the current Scotland squad, no reason for Tartan Army footsoldiers to panic. (Image: Craig Williamson - SNS Group) Yet, the World Cup qualifying campaign which will get underway with away games against Denmark and Belarus in September may well prove to be the last that Che Adams, Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Christie, Lyndon Dykes, Craig Gordon, Grant Hanley, John McGinn, Kenny McLean, Andy Robertson, Lawrence Shankland and Kieran Tierney are involved in. Some will retire after it, others will stay on. But we are witnessing the last hurrah of a golden generation. Will those who come after that aforementioned group grace, as many of their predecessors did, the Premier League and the Champions League? The majority of them still have some way to go to scale the same heights as their compatriots. A few will manage it, but many won't. Clarke lamented how few goalkeepers he had to choose from when he announced his squad last month. He, or his successor, may be left bemoaning the lack of centre-backs, full-backs, holding midfielders, playmakers, wingers and strikers going forward. There must be a concerted collective effort from club owners and managers or qualification for the finals of major tournaments will be a thing of the past.

Transfer news LIVE: Liverpool make £113m Wirtz offer, Inter inquire about Hojlund, Spurs target Frank as new manager
Inter-ested Inter Milan are amongst the clubs looking at signing Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United this summer. Hojlund has struggled to find form since his arrival at Old Trafford and looks set for the exit doors in the coming month. Fabrizio Romano has reiterated that Champions League finalists Inter remain keen on the 22-year-old, despite the exit of boss Simone Inzaghi this week. Hojlund managed four goals in 32 Premier League appearances this season.
