While the Indiana Pacers are on the headlines every week with their NBA Finals comeback, there isn’t much known about the players…especially off-court. But that hasn’t stopped fans from getting nosey about what their favorites are up to. One name that keeps popping up? Thomas Bryant. You know, the high-energy big man with enough bounce to play backup minutes and bring vibes to the bench. Whispers suggest a possible special lady has sparked speculations. Though most of his life beyond the paint, life remains a mystery. Let’s get into it, just a casual deep dive into what we know (and what we definitely don’t) about Bryant’s supposed girlfriend.
Who is Thomas Bryant’s girlfriend?
As of late 2023, Thomas Bryant was reportedly in a long-term relationship with Alli Speidel. No drama, no Instagram unfollow scandals, no cryptic song lyrics in captions—just a good old-fashioned low-key relationship that somehow survived the NBA spotlight. Speidel was born on October 20, 1997, in Indiana—yes, the same Hoosier State where Thomas Bryant made a name for himself at Indiana University. Coincidence? Probably not.

But we have had no updates since she went through a social media cleanse, deleting all her accounts. Even though they rumored couple once shared photos together, today there are no traces of the relationship online, including their cozy post in November 2018. Likewise, there were also reports that Bryant proposed to Alli in 2019 in Paris, something posted about at that time. But now both remain hush about their current relationship status, making their status unclear.
What does Alli Speidel do for a living?
Here’s where things get fuzzy. Alli Speidel doesn’t have a public LinkedIn, flexing her resume. No TikTok content house, no fitness app, no sponsored “rise and grind” content. What we do know is mostly guesswork.
Some sources suggest she’s a fitness enthusiast who enjoys helping others stay in shape. A trainer? A wellness coach? Just someone who swears by her squat routine? It’s unclear. Others toss around the label “marketing specialist,” but again—no verified professional profile to back that up.
And then there’s the vague title of “philanthropist,” which, let’s be honest, often gets tossed around when no one really knows what someone does, but they seem like a good person. At the end of the day, her online remains unconfirmed, which makes verifying anything next to impossible.

How did Thomas Bryant and Alli Speidel meet?
Bryant and Speidel’s story begins in Bloomington, Indiana. Both were students at IU, where Bryant was throwing down dunks at Assembly Hall and Speidel was navigating campus life like the rest of us—minus the ESPN highlights.
Their “hard launch” came in November 2018 via a social media post, and anniversary content followed, but don’t bother scrolling for it now—Speidel’s social media, as it was known, has since disappeared from the internet.
By the way, the plot thickens.

Reports claim that Bryant popped the question in Paris back in 2019. Très romantic, right? Some even say Speidel announced the engagement on Instagram. But—and this is a big one—there are no receipts. No screenshots, no archived posts, no confirmed sources. And with Speidel’s entire online footprint now scrubbed, it’s all firmly in rumor territory. So unless TMZ uncovers a dusty engagement ring pic, this one stays unconfirmed.
Bryant has since opted for privacy, and so has Speidel. If they have broken up, it’s hushed, if they are together, it is still the same.
