Some wild rumors are swirling on Twitter, claiming New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones is dating American sportscaster Kay Adams. It started with a viral tweet boasting almost 2 million views that suggested TMZ had reported this romance. However, this is categorically false. The person who made that post was trying to farm engagements, riding on a notable recent incident between the two.
The speculation (or a joke) of their romance took off after a tweet highlighted a peculiar moment during an interview between Jones and Adams where the latter was visibly flustered.
Internet Thinks Kay Adams Has a Crush on Daniel Jones—Here’s Why
During a recent sit-down interview, Adams, who’s usually super smooth and confident, got all flustered when the topic switched to Jones’ taste in music. Jones mentioned he’s a huge fan of the controversial country singer Morgan Wallen, and Adams stumbled over her words. Subsequently, lots of tweets spun this into a story that the sportscaster’s fluster was because she was charmed by the NFL star’s new beard, rather than his music taste.
The internet, as always, was quick to run the narrative (albeit, jokingly) that Adams’ reaction was more about Jones’ striking beard than the content of their conversation. Kay, herself, jumped in on the fun by posting a hilarious video, where she pretended to hold back the urge to comment on his beard. The joke then went on a whole new level with everybody pretending that was genuinely the case.
In reality, however, there’s nothing to suggest Kay Adams and Daniel Jones are dating. In fact, the quarterback is confirmed to be in a relationship with his girlfriend, Ella Bonafede, who played for the Duke Blue Devils lacrosse team. The two have been together since their Duke days, but they’re keeping their romance pretty low-key in recent years.
Meanwhile, Daniel Jones is gearing up for the NFL season after bouncing back from a torn ACL. He missed the early preseason games but is now back in training and has already given his green light for the Giants’ upcoming games.
As for all the tweets claiming Jones’ relationship with Kay Adams, they are just trying to bait engagements. After all, you can’t deny that Elon has ruined the app with Twitter monetization.
Shams Charania Plays Coy on Kay Adams Dating Rumors
Earlier in 2024, Pat McAfee went for a direct approach to confirm once and for all if Kay Adams and Shams Charania were actually dating. He posed the question point blank to Shams, given their noticeable chemistry and the way they frequently flirted on social media. However, the NBA reporter for The Athletic, neither confirmed nor denied it, and rather chose to go the diplomatic route, praising the host of ‘Up & Adams.’
Fans are familiar with the playful on-screen chemistry between the two. In an episode of ‘Up & Adams,’ Kay teasingly took Charania’s phone, making him visibly nervous. Shams, as you might know, is always glued to his phone for NBA scoops, so fans were struggling to tell whether he was more worried about what she might find or the fact that he might miss some big news.
Thanks to all their flirts, speculations have been abuzz this year with many believing Kay Adams’ new boyfriend is indeed Shams Charania. The rumors were fueled further after Charania gifted Adams shoes on Valentine’s Day. However, they’re yet to officially confirm their dating status.
Previously in 2012, Kay Adams admitted on ‘The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson’ that she’s found dating challenging because of her career. She believes her potential partners are likely to be intimidated by her vast knowledge of sports. She said,
[Dating when you know this much about NFL] is not easy, it’s not the easiest thing, but I deal with it. I think it takes a very special person to, you know, support someone who knows more than they do.
Kay wants her ideal boyfriend (and possibly husband) to be someone who is supportive of her career. She also claimed she is not fond of getting into relationships with professional athletes because of their personalities.
Back in 2015, however, it was rumored that the sportscaster was dating NFL player Danny Amendola. The duo was spotted together during the Super Bowl, which ignited the speculations. The TV personality even shared a photo on Instagram that sparked interest among fans, but neither of them confirmed or denied their relationship. So, it’s anybody’s guess if they were really a thing. If they weren’t, you could make a case that Kay wasn’t lying when she said she wouldn’t date athletes.
In 2022, Adams was romantically linked with C.J. Uzomah, but the NFL player denied they were a couple.
