Media personality Bobbi Althoff made headlines when she became the subject of a TikTok rumor suggesting that she was secretly dating an NFL player, namely, Sean Murphy-Bunting.
On Monday, Althoff took to social media to upload a video of herself getting cozy with a man. The two can be seen kissing each other, and all that can be seen of the mystery beau is that he is light-skinned and sports a goatee. Users were quick to theorize that the man was Murphy-Bunting, though the latter has since issued a statement on X refuting the same:
"That’s not me," he declared.
All we know about Bobbi Althoff's relationship as she calls Sean Murphy-Bunting nothing but a friend
While Sean Murphy-Bunting may have refuted any misgivings of a tryst between him and Bobbi Althoff, reportedly, back in July, he was spotted carrying her out of the Barstool Sports Bar located in Nashville.
Per Complex, the podcaster was intoxicated, and the NFL player lugged her into an SUV waiting for them outside. At the time, a source also told TMZ that the Superbowl champion was just being a good friend. The following day, she took to Instagram to thank her friend by uploading a photo of them, and the caption read:
"Last night was scary but thankful for having good friends in my life like [Sean Murphy-Bunting] for looking out for me."
TikToker @amandachristine_1 was the first to speculate that the two might be secretly seeing each other. In her celebrity gossip video, which has since nabbed a staggering 670,000 views, she compared the facial hair of the man in the video to that of the Arizona Cardinals cornerback, as well as his and Althoff's past encounters.
However, users in the comment section were not convinced, with some suggesting that it may be the former offensive tackle of the New York Jets, Cedric Ogbuehi, instead. However, Ogbuehi also dismissed such claims when he commented:
"This is not me or Sean lol."
27-year-old Bobbi Althoff also echoed the sentiments when she replied to the above comment with six exclamation marks. As for Sean Murphy-Bunting's post, at the time of writing, Althoff has yet to respond to the same.
Bobbi Althoff is known for her dry humor on The Really Good Podcast, though she recently took a break from her public life following her divorce from the father of her children, Cory Althoff, earlier this year. The two share two daughters, Luca, 3, and Isla, 1, and they were married for four years.
