    The Minnesota Vikings are in the midst of an incredible season.  Through their first nine games they sit at 7-2 and squarely in the NFC playoff picture.  Sam Darnold has shocked the league this year, playing by far the best football of his career.  He is a huge reason for Minnesota’s early success.

    However, there is one rumor that has been put to bed involving the “Hawk Tuah” girl and one Minnesota Starter.

    It’s Official: Hawk Tuah Girl Haliey Welch Comes Clean About Dating A Minnesota Vikings Starter

    When Hawk Tuah girl Haliey Welch teased earlier this week that she was dating Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold, she made headlines:

    In a teaser for the next episode of her podcast, Welch announced that she would reveal her boyfriend, whom she refers to as “Pookie.” Sam Darnold’s image was shown in the post, leading to speculation that the veteran NFL QB was the mystery man all along:

    HAWK TUAH GIRL SPARKS RUMORS OF DATING NFL STAR

    Podcaster Haliey Welch, famously known as “Hawk Tuah Girl,” has teased fans with hints about her mystery boyfriend, “Pookie,” sparking speculation she’s dating Minnesota Vikings QB Sam Darnold.

    Despite Darnold’s red hair contrasting with Welch’s description, fans are eager for her reveal on today’s episode. Welch has described “Pookie” as having “black hair and the longest eyelashes,” leaving followers guessing between Darnold, comedian Matt Rife, and country star Morgan Wallen.

    All eyes are on her next “Talk Tuah” podcast for answers.

    But in the new episode of her podcast that dropped today, Welch revealed the identity of her boyfriend. To mock a line from the legendary Maury Povich….Sam Darnold is NOT the pookie.

    In the end, the boyfriend is not a celebrity. This gentleman, Kelby, admits he likes living in a small town and doesn’t want to be in the spotlight.

    As it turns out, “Hawk Tuah” girl won’t be making any guest appearances on Minnesota’s sideline any time soon.
