Golf influencer and social media personality Paige Spiranac offered a rare, candid look into her personal dating history during a recent YouTube video, revealing that she has dated far fewer people than many might assume given her massive online following, while also disclosing a pair of celebrity crushes she developed during her junior golf days.

Spiranac made the comments in a video titled “Confession time,” part of her HOT BIRDS series, which she filmed while playing a solo round of golf on a course in Florida. The format allowed her to address personal questions directly to camera between shots, a style she has used previously to discuss topics she said most people would not typically ask her about in public.

“No, I actually haven’t dated anyone famous before,” Spiranac said in the video, directly addressing persistent rumors and speculation that have circulated about her romantic life given her frequent public collaborations with professional athletes and other high-profile figures. She went on to describe her broader dating history as relatively limited. “I actually haven’t dated that many people in general,” she said. “I was homeschooled from fourth grade all the way until college with a very sheltered life.”

Spiranac elaborated further on how her upbringing shaped perceptions of her personality, noting that people often draw a direct connection between her homeschooling background and aspects of how she comes across publicly. “When I tell people I was homeschooled, they go, ‘Ah, that makes sense,’” she said.

Beyond her general dating history, Spiranac also addressed her decision to keep most details of her personal life private despite maintaining an active and highly engaged presence on social media, where she has built a following exceeding 11 million people across platforms. She explained that her reluctance to share personal milestones is not rooted in any specific negative reason, but rather stems from a desire to keep certain moments private even as her public-facing career continues to grow. “I have so many supportive people who follow me. I think a lot of people would be really excited if I got married, or if I decided to have children, and that’s not the reason why I don’t talk about it,” she said.

The video also included a lighter, more nostalgic segment in which Spiranac discussed crushes she developed on professional golfers during her time playing junior golf, before her career shifted from competitive play toward content creation and golf commentary. “In junior golf, I had like the biggest crush on Justin Thomas,” she said. “And I also grew up playing junior golf with Wyndham Clark.” She also named a second PGA Tour star from that same period of her life. “I went to school and college with Xander Schauffele and his caddie, Austin [Kaiser]. Also had a crush on Xander,” she said.

Spiranac’s connection to Schauffele extends beyond a passing junior golf crush; the two both attended San Diego State University, with Spiranac transferring in after spending her freshman year at the University of Arizona. Schauffele met his now-wife, Maya, while attending SDSU during roughly the same period Spiranac was also enrolled there. In a separate previous interview on “The SPINvitational,” Spiranac had addressed the situation more directly, acknowledging that her interest in Schauffele had not been reciprocated. “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,” she said at the time, adding that Schauffele’s relationship with his future wife had unfolded during that same period at the university. “He met his wife Maya at SDSU, so it was meant to be. Didn’t work out for me in that way.”

When asked more broadly about what she looks for in a potential partner, Spiranac offered a lighthearted explanation tied directly to her background in the sport. “I don’t really have a type,” she said. “But my type is someone who can hit a golf ball really well.” She elaborated further on that preference in a separate interview, describing an attraction specifically tied to technical skill on the course. “There’s just something to it that just works for me,” she said.

Spiranac’s comments also touched on the broader challenge of navigating persistent dating rumors that have followed her throughout her career as a prominent figure in a male-dominated industry. In earlier remarks, she described the frustration of having professional collaborations with male athletes routinely misinterpreted by media outlets and online commenters as evidence of romantic relationships. She specifically cited a period in which a content collaboration with golfer Bryson DeChambeau led to headlines suggesting the two were dating, despite no such relationship existing. She also noted she had previously heard rumors linking her romantically to NFL quarterback Tom Brady, which she described as entirely unfounded. “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,” she said in that earlier interview. “It’s really frustrating because I’ve never dated anyone famous ever, not even close.”

Spiranac was previously married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco, whom she wed in 2018 after meeting him near the start of her career. The two were reported to no longer be married as of 2022, though Spiranac has generally kept details surrounding the end of that relationship out of the public eye, consistent with the broader approach to privacy she described in her recent video.

Since transitioning away from competitive golf, Spiranac has built one of the most recognizable public profiles in the sport, appearing on the covers of Maxim and Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue while growing a combined social media following of several million people across Instagram, TikTok and YouTube. She has continued to remain an active voice in golf media, regularly offering commentary and defending current PGA Tour players against criticism, including recent remarks in which she pushed back on suggestions that today’s golfers lack the personality of past generations, specifically citing Justin Thomas among the players she felt deserved a more favorable characterization from fans and media commentators.

GREENVILLE, S.C. — New details have emerged regarding the death of actress Hayden Panettiere, with local authorities confirming she died at a residence in Greenville, South Carolina, on Sunday, though the exact cause of her death remains undetermined as investigators continue their work.

According to television station WYFF4, police and emergency medical personnel responded to a report of an unresponsive woman at Judson Mill Lofts on Easley Bridge Road at 1:51 p.m. Sunday. Panettiere died at the scene, the station reported. Police told WYFF4 that their preliminary investigation “has not indicated any signs of foul play or suspicious circumstances,” though officials have not released additional information regarding what led to her death.

TMZ, which was first to report Panettiere’s death Sunday night, cited law enforcement sources confirming that police had responded to an incident involving the actress and that an investigation remained open. TMZ also reported that Panettiere and her on-again, off-again boyfriend, Brian Hickerson, had flown from Los Angeles to the South on Saturday, a day before her death, and that Hickerson’s family had been made aware of what happened. A source close to the actress told TMZ that Panettiere had been complaining of back pain over the past year, though the outlet noted it remained unclear whether that detail bore any connection to her death.

Panettiere’s death was formally confirmed by her representative in a statement provided to ABC News on Sunday night. Her father, Skip Panettiere, said in that statement that his daughter had been “an incredible light and a force of nature” to everyone who knew her and to the audiences who watched her on screen throughout her career, and he asked for privacy for the family as they process the loss.

The relationship between Panettiere and Hickerson has drawn renewed attention following her death, given its documented history of domestic violence. According to Variety’s reporting on Panettiere’s recently published memoir, “This Is Me: A Reckoning,” the book detailed what Variety described as her “abusive relationship” with Hickerson, who was served with a five-year restraining order in 2021. Hickerson was sentenced to 45 days in prison for domestic violence that same year. In the memoir, Panettiere recounted the escalation of the abuse, writing about the first time Hickerson slapped her and describing how, over time, “the slaps became hits,” according to Variety’s account of the book. She wrote that during one incident, he injured her face so severely that she did not leave her house for weeks.

Variety further reported that Panettiere and Hickerson reconciled after that period, but he was accused of hitting her again in 2020 while the couple was in Wyoming, resulting in his arrest on a domestic battery charge. It remains unclear, based on currently available reporting, why the two were reportedly together again in the days leading up to Panettiere’s death.

Despite the extensive documented history between Panettiere and Hickerson, no outlet has reported any confirmed connection between that relationship and the specific circumstances of her death, and police in Greenville have not indicated that Hickerson is considered a suspect or person of interest in their preliminary investigation. Authorities have stressed that their early findings have not pointed to foul play, though a full determination of cause of death will likely depend on further investigative steps, including any toxicology testing that may be conducted as part of a standard death investigation.

Speculation regarding a potential link between Panettiere’s death and her previously disclosed struggles with substance use has also circulated following the news, given that she had spoken publicly and repeatedly over the years about past battles with alcohol and drug use, including in her recently published memoir. However, no official source — including police, her family, her representatives or a medical examiner’s office — has indicated that drugs or alcohol played any role in her death. Absent confirmed toxicology results or another official finding, any such connection remains speculative rather than established fact.

Similarly, questions have arisen about whether Panettiere’s death could be connected to any underlying cardiac condition, particularly given that her younger brother, actor Jansen Panettiere, died in February 2023 at age 28 from what his family described at the time as cardiomegaly, an enlarged heart, coupled with aortic valve complications. As of this report, there has been no official evidence or statement connecting Hayden Panettiere’s death to a similar hereditary heart condition, and this possibility likewise remains unconfirmed.

Tributes to Panettiere continued to circulate widely across social media and among former colleagues in the days following news of her death. Actress Selma Blair left comments on one of Panettiere’s final Instagram posts expressing grief over the loss, writing, “I love you. Don’t be gone. Don’t be gone. Please. Please,” followed shortly afterward by a second comment reading, “I love you whale tail my friend.”

Panettiere had published her memoir on May 19, roughly three months before her death, detailing her experiences growing up as a child star, her struggles with postpartum depression following the birth of her daughter, and her path toward recovery from addiction. She had spoken emotionally in past interviews about the difficulty of relinquishing custody of her daughter, Kaya, to her ex-partner, boxer Wladimir Klitschko, in 2018, when Kaya was 7 years old. “I mean it was the worst signing those papers and like the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever, ever had to do in my life,” Panettiere said in a 2022 interview reflecting on that decision.

As of this report, the Greenville County Coroner’s Office has not released an official cause of death, and authorities have given no timeline for when a final determination might be made public. Additional updates are expected in the coming days as the investigation continues, with police reiterating that their preliminary findings have not identified any indication of criminal wrongdoing in connection with Panettiere’s death.

WASHINGTON — U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that federal authorities do not intend to take over the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of “TODAY” show co-anchor Savannah Guthrie, even as the FBI continues to provide substantial support to state and local investigators working the monthslong case in Arizona.

Speaking on NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” Blanche outlined the scope of federal involvement in the high-profile investigation, which has drawn national attention since Guthrie was first reported missing earlier this year. “We are working as hard as we can with the state and local law enforcement in every area, and that means not only providing assistance with manpower, but any sort of forensic assistance,” Blanche said.

Blanche made clear that despite the intensity of federal support, the Justice Department has no plans to assume primary control of the case from local authorities. “And so we’re going to continue to do that. Whether we come in with sharp elbows and take it over, that’s not necessarily the right thing to do for her or for anybody, but making sure that it’s done right and making sure that this investigation is being conducted the way that it should be is something that we’re doing,” he said.

Guthrie, 78, was reported missing on Feb. 1 from her home in Tucson, Arizona, according to earlier reporting on the case. Her disappearance quickly became a subject of intense national media coverage, in part because of her family’s connection to one of American television’s most recognizable morning news programs, and prompted a coordinated response involving both local and federal law enforcement resources.

The investigation is currently being led by the Pima County Sheriff’s Department, with the FBI providing supporting assistance rather than direct oversight of the case, according to Blanche’s comments. Investigators have pursued an extensive range of leads over the course of the monthslong search, including analyzing hundreds of tips, reviewing doorbell camera footage from the surrounding area, and examining DNA evidence collected during the course of the investigation. Despite that substantial investigative effort, authorities have not named or arrested any suspects in connection with Guthrie’s disappearance.

During Sunday’s interview, Blanche acknowledged that he had no new public details to offer regarding the status of the search, expressing regret over the continued uncertainty facing Guthrie’s family and the broader public following the case. “I’m sorry to say that because I wish I had an update, and I know that this type of case is heartbreaking, especially when it plays out nationally like this one has,” Blanche said.

The case has seen several notable developments in recent weeks as investigators work to generate new leads in what has become an increasingly difficult and prolonged search. At the end of July, Arizona authorities released two ransom notes publicly in an effort to encourage members of the public to come forward with any relevant information. Law enforcement officials have said they believe the notes were sent by individuals connected to Guthrie’s disappearance shortly after she was reported missing, though the specific content and origin of the notes have not been fully detailed in public statements from investigators.

The investigation has also encountered complications stemming from fraudulent activity connected to the case. Earlier in July, a man from California pleaded guilty to federal charges after sending a fake ransom note in the aftermath of Guthrie’s disappearance, according to prior reporting. The case underscored the challenges investigators have faced in separating credible leads from false or malicious information as the search for Guthrie has continued to attract significant public attention.

Federal and state authorities have continued to urge anyone with information related to Guthrie’s whereabouts to come forward, emphasizing that even seemingly minor details could prove useful to investigators working to piece together what happened to her. The joint investigative effort between the Pima County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI remains active, though officials have offered few specifics regarding the current direction of the inquiry or whether investigators believe they are close to identifying a suspect.

Blanche’s comments Sunday represent one of the more detailed public statements from a senior federal law enforcement official regarding the Justice Department’s approach to the case since Guthrie’s disappearance was first reported in February. His remarks suggest that, despite the substantial resources the FBI has devoted to supporting the investigation, the Justice Department continues to view the case as fundamentally a matter for state and local authorities to lead, with federal agencies serving in a supporting capacity rather than directing the overall investigative strategy.

The distinction Blanche drew between federal assistance and federal takeover reflects a broader pattern in how the Justice Department and FBI typically engage with high-profile missing-persons cases that fall primarily under state jurisdiction. Federal law enforcement agencies commonly provide specialized forensic capabilities, additional investigative manpower and broader database access to support local law enforcement, while formal jurisdiction and lead responsibility for a case often remains with the state or county agency where the underlying incident occurred, absent specific federal charges or a formal determination that federal involvement is warranted.

As the investigation continues without a named suspect more than six months after Guthrie’s disappearance, public interest in the case has remained high, driven in part by her family’s prominent media profile and the emotionally difficult nature of a prolonged, unresolved search. Authorities have not indicated any specific timeline for when additional public updates might be provided, though Blanche’s comments suggest the current arrangement between local and federal investigators is likely to continue unless new developments prompt a change in approach.

Neither the Pima County Sheriff’s Department nor the FBI’s Phoenix field office has issued a separate public statement beyond Blanche’s remarks addressing the current status of the investigation as of this report. Officials have continued to emphasize that the case remains open and active, with authorities urging the public to report any information, however minor it may seem, that could assist in locating Guthrie or identifying those responsible for her disappearance.
