A recent Instagram story has fans speculating about the love life of Texas A&M QB1 Marcel Reed. In the story, Reed was seen hanging out with Olympic Gold medalist Sunisa Lee at a bar in College Station. This has blown up all over social media, sparking the question: Are they dating now? Let’s dive deep into what we know about the ‘couple’ until now.

Does Marcel Reed have a girlfriend?

Marcel Reed hasn’t been missing this season, be it his on-field throws or his off-field ‘ventures.’ And now his performances have reportedly landed him an audience with an Olympic Gold Medalist.

There are no reports regarding his past love life available. From what we can see, Marcel Reed prefers to keep his relationships private. Well, that’s also a smart move on his behalf. Often, partners of star athletes get criticized just because they are affiliated with them. Keeping a relationship private shields their partner from being at the end of unnecessary online abuse.

Are Marcel Reed and Sunisa Lee dating?

Currently, not much is known about whether Marcel Reed and Sunisa Lee are dating. Other than the IG story, there is not much evidence to back up the claims of fans on social media. The two may be just friends, but the internet detectives refuse to believe so. One article on BlackSportsOnline claims that the duo were “cozy enough to break the internet.” Since neither side has confirmed the relationship, all we can do is wait and find out.

Not much is known about Marcel Reed’s dating history, but that is not the case for Sunisa Lee. In around 2021, she was in a relationship with the former USC cornerback Jaylin Smith. Their relationship was made public in December of the same year, when she posted pictures of them together. She did face some racial backlash due to the interracial nature of the relationship, which she spoke openly about.

Who Is U.S. Olympic Star Sunisa Lee?

Sunisa Lee is an American gymnast who has won Olympic gold medals on the biggest stages. She started as an NCAA gymnast for the Auburn Tigers and won both the NCAA Championship (balance beam) and an SEC title (uneven bars) in her time there. She made history by becoming the third female gymnast to win NCAA, World, and Olympic titles.

In the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she became the first Asian American woman to win the Olympic individual all-around gold medal in women’s gymnastics. Not only that, but she also secured a bronze medal on uneven bars. It was all up for Sunisa Lee until 2023, when she was diagnosed with two kidney diseases, one of which is incurable.

But the disease didn’t just stop her from being great. In the 2024 Olympics, she returned to the stage to earn one gold medal for Team USA and two bronze medals in all-around and uneven bars. Her story and contributions for Team USA earned her the 2024 ESPY Award for Best Comeback Athlete.

How private is Marcel Reed about his love life?

Reed has never openly confirmed or talked about being in a relationship. His Instagram does not have any pictures of him with a significant other, nor is it listed anywhere.

He keeps his love life private, be it on X (formerly Twitter) or Instagram. But now, rumors that the quarterback could be dating an Olympic gold medalist have sent his fans into a frenzy on social media.

So, it is clear none of the parties wants to confirm anything yet. Maybe it’s the start of a relationship, and they want to take it slow, or maybe it’s all just a big confusion. Right now, fans could do nothing but speculate and wait.
