While she may now be the hottest golf influencer on the Internet, Spiranac revealed during a recent stream that she failed to nab her college crush – who went on to become a PGA Tour star.
During a recent installment of The SPINvitational, the blonde bombshell shared that while she was attending San Diego State University, she had a crush on fellow Aztecs golfer Xander Schauffele.

But, according to Spiranac, things “didn’t work out for me in that way.”
“I did go to school at SDSU with Xander Schauffele and another fun fact is I had a crush on him, and he wanted nothing to do with me,” Spiranac said. “He met his wife Maya at SDSU, so it was meant to be. Didn’t work out for me in that way.”
Schauffele, who is from San Diego, met Maya at SDSU in 2014 and they married in 2021.
That wasn’t the only insight into her dating life that Spiranac shared on the show. She said that while there have been rumours that she has dated pro athletes the likes of NFL icon Tom Brady and LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, the influencer says that she has “never been on a date with anyone famous.”

However, she did say that she has received messages from other athletes before without revealing their names.
“I’ve had pro athletes or famous people slide in my DMs. I’ve never dated anyone famous. It’s funny because I’ll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson and then a headline said I was dating (him). Tom Brady was one of them, which was so crazy.
“It’s like any time I shoot content with a male celebrity, that’s the headline or all of the comments, which can be really difficult for my job where I work in a male-dominated industry … It’s really frustrating because I’ve never dated anyone famous ever, not even close.”

Paige Spiranac fires back at troll that criticized her for posting cheeky clip
Spiranac, who boasts more than 5 million followers across her social media platforms, is usually tight-lipped about her personal life.
She went on to explain that she suffers from “severe social anxiety” and that she is much different in real life than how she appears online.
“I’m very much the opposite of the person I am online,” she said. “I always say it’s my alter-ego. I think that’s another misconception that I’m outgoing and a party girl because of my image online. I have severe social anxiety. It’s funny that I’m doing what I’m doing now.”
