Could Sam Darnold and Haliey Welch be an item?

On an episode of Talk Tauh with Haliey Welch last month, the 22-year-old internet star revealed that she and her boyfriend—whom she has referred to as “Pookie” to keep his identity private—were officially an item.

She has constantly refused to state who the lucky guy is, but that will all end this week.

Over the weekend, Welch’s podcast sent a picture stating that she will reveal who Pookie is.

Below her picture were four pictures of different men.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold was one of them.

Sam Darnold Seemingly Shoots His Shot At “Hawk Tuah” Girl Haliey Welch

Over the summer, Sam Darnold created a stir on social media when he added a heart emoji reaction to a Barstool Sports promo for the first public interview of Haliey Welch, better known since her viral infamous video clip as Hawk Tuah Girl.

Darnold’s post immediately sparked rumors that he was either trying to date Welch or thirsting over her.

Since then, he has not spoken out about why he put that heart emoji.

Prior to this season, Darnold was all but written off as a bust, but he has shown he has something left in the tank and has not written back.

Currently, Darnold has 2,141 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, and ten interceptions.

Haliey Welch has turned her online celebrity into less of an online joke and more of an entire social media persona as she is a podcast host of the aptly named Talk Tuah podcast.

At one point, Talk Tuah was the #5 most listened-to podcast on the Spotify charts.
