Social media figure Haliey Welch, affectionately dubbed the ‘Hawk Tuah Girl‘, has sparked excitement among her followers with a hint about her romantic life. Recently, she suggested she would unveil her boyfriend, sharing with her podcast, Talk Tuah, the names of potential suitors, including Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold. This prompted fans to speculate about a possible connection with the athlete.
However, the buildup was a clever ruse. Welch quickly clarified that her true partner is someone named Kelby, not Darnold. She also recounted a humorous incident involving her cousin KK unexpectedly interrupting their date, adding a charming anecdote to her announcement.
“KK is a G,” Welch joked.
“I was nervous about being alone. So he started kissing me, and when I glanced over, I spotted KK peeking from under the covers watching us.”
Growing social media influence
As Welch’s popularity continues to rise, she is broadening her brand. Following the success of her viral “Hawk Tuah” phrase, she is filing for trademarks to use it on various products, including mouthwash, snacks, clothing, and sports betting, further establishing her as a notable internet personality.
On a separate note in the sports world, Sam Darnold experienced a challenging game, throwing three interceptions while achieving 241 yards in passes. Nevertheless, he has shown a strong season overall, with 2,141 yards, 17 touchdowns, and a 68.6 percent completion rate.
