Former NFL star Danny Amendola‘s dating life has become a hot topic ever since his appearance on Dancing with the Stars. Fans are now curious about his relationship history and who he’s currently with.
Here is everything we know about Danny Amendola’s dating history.
Who is Danny Amendola’s girlfriend in 2024?
Danny Amendola appears to be single as of September 2024.
The former NFL wide receiver has yet to publicly announce if he is in a relationship. Dating rumors recently surfaced online suggesting Amendola may be seeing Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Xandra Pohl. However, Amendola seemingly denied the speculation.
They were first spotted together at Tom Brady’s Patriots Hall of Fame induction in June, which sparked the dating rumors. Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy commented on the supposed couple, further fanning the flame. In his BFFs podcast, Portnoy stated, “I don’t know if dating is the right word. They’re together. Yeah, we saw it in action. They walked in… Let me put it this way. Let me rephrase. Xandra was Danny Amendola’s date for this thing. What they’re doing beyond that — but he definitely took her as his date.”
Life & Style reported that internet personality Stephanie Tleiji weighed in on the speculation and claimed that Pohl had filmed one of her videos inside Amendola’s residence. However, Tleiji soon posted another video saying that Amendola sent her a DM in which he denied the rumors. An alleged screenshot from the DM read, “Creepy life you lead. Feel bad for you. Spreading gossip based on rumors about people you’ve never met. There is no artistic integrity. That is not journalism. You may get a little coin but you sold your soul. Again … I feel bad for you. And I’m not concerned lol. Have a good one.”

However, the pair parted ways in 2023 when fans noted that Watts had deleted every picture of the NFL star from her Instagram. A confirmed reason for the split is not known. However, fans on Reddit had reported that Watts, in an Instagram Q&A, claimed that Amendola had cheated on her.
Before dating Watts, Amendola was in a relationship with Olivia Culpo from 2016 to 2018. The relationship was tumultuous, which led to the eventual split. Amendola addressed the split in a now-deleted post that read, “I believe there should be a boundary btw private life and social media. Olivia believes in fishbowl lifestyle. This fundamental difference was huge in our relationship.”
Over the years, Amendola has also been romantically linked with Emily Tanner, Bianca Peters, Kay Adams, and Talor Reazin.
