Paige Spiranac makes six-word claim about Xander Schaffuele after revealing 'crush' on him
Paige Spiranac has hushed speculation that she ever dated NFL superstar Tom Brady or LIV Golf stalwart Bryson DeChambeau, while also opening up about a past crush on a fellow golfer Paige Spiranac has put to rest rumours that she's been involved with Tom Brady and Bryson DeChambeau, although she did admit to once fancying Xander Schauffele. The social media sensation has become a familiar name of late, boasting 11 million followers across various platforms. With 4 million fans on Instagram and 1.6 million on TikTok, the 32-year-old previously pursued a professional golf career after showing potential during her university years at the University of Arizona and San Diego State University. She later tried her luck on the LPGA Tour before transitioning to modelling and teaching, all while keeping a keen eye on her beloved sport. Her influencer status has also sparked significant curiosity about her personal life. However, the internet star - who split from Steven Tinoco after four years of marriage in 2022 - has largely remained tight-lipped on the subject. While Spiranac did reveal last year that she was seeing finance executive Zach Brantly, and she was spotted with him at the 2024 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit launch party, she has kept her romantic life private - especially her relationship with the Berenberg employee. However, she recently confessed on her The SPINvitational show that she once had a crush on golf champ Schauffele during their time at SDSU but claimed the two-time major champion 'wanted nothing to do with me.' 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 about her dating famous personalities, dismissing speculation that she had been involved with NFL 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 amusing because I'll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson, and then a headline said I was 'dating' (him). Tom Brady was one of them, which was so crazy. "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 really frustrating because I've never dated anyone famous ever, not even close." Last year, she confirmed her relationship with Brantly, revealing: "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-screen persona, the influencer also shared 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."

Paige Spiranac reveals which PGA star she used to have a 'crush' on, discusses other celebrity dating rumors
Xander Schauffele apparently had a chance with Paige Spiranac, but he opted to go a different route. The two-time major champion attended San Diego State University, where he met his wife, Maya. Spiranac also attended the university with them. Spiranac is a former pro turned influencer and analyst for the game, and, apparently, she wanted a shot with the reigning PGA and Open champion. "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," Spiranac said on "The SPINvitational." "He met his wife Maya at SDSU, so it was meant to be. Didn't work out for me in that way." Spiranac was married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018, but they were "no longer married" as of 2022. She is one of the top influencers in sports on social media, building a following of more than 4 million on Instagram and another 1.6 million on TikTok. She's had plenty of collaborations due to her massive following, including a recent one with Bryson DeChambeau, which sparked dating rumors. "I've had pro athletes or famous people slide in my DMs. I've never dated anyone famous," she said. "It's funny because I'll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson, and then a headline said I was dating him." Spiranac also said she heard rumors she was dating Tom Brady, "which was so crazy." "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," Spiranac, who's discussed other vile rumors about herself, added. Schauffele earned both of his first majors last year, becoming the first player since Brooks Koepka in 2018 to win two majors in the same year. He has finished inside the top eight in each of his last five majors and has finished tied for second in each of the last two Players Championships.

Model shuts down huge dating misconception
A former professional golfer turned social media personality and model has finally opened up about her love life after being plagued by rumours for years. Paige Spiranac, 32, who attended San Diego State University before going pro in golf in 2015, was married to Steven Tinoco, an athletic trainer. However, she revealed the pair parted ways in 2022. Since her divorce, the American model has been the subject of rumours and headlines concerning her dating life — particularly men she has created YouTube content with. Rumours have swirled about herself and other professional athletes, including NFL star Tom Brady and LIV Golf player Bryson DeChambeau. However, Spiranac shut down all allegations that she had ever dated someone in the spotlight during her show The SPINvitational, saying it was a 'big misconception'. The 'original Insta golf girl', who boasts four million followers on Instagram alone, said: '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 DeChambeau and then the next headline was I was dating Bryson DeChambeau. Tom Brady was one of them, which was so crazy.' Spiranac added: '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 when I work in a male-dominated industry and I'm just around male golfers, and a lot of male celebrities love professional golf, and people in business.' She said she would be photographed with people at events, and then the next headline would link the duo together romantically. 'It's really frustrating because I've never dated anyone famous ever, not even close,' she said. Spiranac, who is known for sharing snaps of her golf outfits to social media, is no stranger to having to shut down rumours about her personal life. She's previously had to torpedo reports that she 'did sexual favours' to get an invitation to the Dubai Ladies Masters. She said this was because many thought the opportunity was above her level of skill. Appearing on the Quiet Please! podcast, the former golf pro said it was at the outset of her career and she had just started going viral on social media — something that 'flipped' her life 'upside down'. 'I got this invite to play an LET [Ladies European Tournament]. I had just turned pro, I had never played golf outside the country. And everyone was like, 'It's low key, don't worry about it. No one is going to know if you play well or not',' she said. 'I show up and was doing hours of press, which I wasn't prepared for. I had no training to do this. And I would say there were a couple of girls who were really supportive and who were nice, but the majority, it was brutal. I would go on the range and girls would just scatter. No one wanted to hit next to me. 'There were constant comments like 'I did sexual favours to get this invite,' and I was listening to it — and they would say [it] within earshots of me. It was tough. Not knowing what I was doing, it was my first pro event, it was really difficult. I just wanted to be liked and I played so bad. It was horrendous.'
