In professional football, where scrutiny follows every move, Tyler Boyd’s love life remains an enigma. The Cincinnati Bengals star wide receiver has mastered keeping his romantic pursuits tightly under wraps even as he soars on the field. Yet, one aspect shines through Boyd’s veil of privacy — his unwavering dedication to his daughter, Taylen.

How does this young father balance the demands of NFL stardom and the joys of single parenthood? Moreover, what is the truth behind the persistent rumors linking Boyd, who will soon leave the Bengals, to Brazilian singer Anitta that set fans abuzz in 2022? Much like he evades defenders on the gridiron, the 29-year-old has deftly sidestepped prying eyes, leaving his fans yearning for answers about his journey through life’s touchdowns and heartstrings.

Tyler Boyd’s dedication defying the spotlight

For Tyler Boyd, the demands of the NFL and its stardom pale compared to the joys and responsibilities of fatherhood. A native of Clairton, Pennsylvania, Boyd has been a proud girl dad to daughter Taylen since her birth in 2013, when he was just 19 years old. Despite his budding football career, the wide receiver has made raising Taylen his top priority, savoring everyday moments.

While Boyd is private about the identity of Taylen’s mother, his devotion as a single parent is evident. The 29-year-old frequently shares pictures celebrating his “little superstar” and cherishes experiences like taking her to amusement parks. 

This level of paternal commitment is remarkable for any young athlete. However, Boyd’s on-field excellence with the Bengals seems intrinsically motivated by his role as Taylen’s dad and biggest fan.

However, the wide receiver’s steadfast insistence on privacy has also fueled rampant speculation about his romantic life off the gridiron. Gossip has swirled about Boyd’s dating status and rumored relationships, including persistent whispers in 2022 about him being linked to Brazilian singer Anitta. With the man himself staying mum, the mystery only grows — what’s the whole story behind those rumored romances?

Separating fact from fiction — the Anitta rumor mill

The whispers started in 2022 when Brazilian singer Anitta cheekily claimed “how one of her men was in the Cincinnati Bengals“ in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Immediately, fans made the connection to Tyler Boyd, with evidence like their social media flirtations seeming to add fuel to the rumor fire.

Anitta’s announcement of her relationship with music producer Murda Beatz in June 2022 appeared to pour cold water on the Boyd dating rumors. However, the persistent gossip only intensified when that relationship ended, with some speculating the singer had reunited with her rumored Bengals beau. Boyd’s determined silence has done little to quell the excitement.

However, the lack of hard evidence or firsthand confirmation from Boyd or Anitta suggests the rumored romance was likely more fan fiction than reality. For a man so fixated on shielding his daughter from public life, secretly dating an international pop superstar seems decidedly out of character.

Unless Boyd finally opens up about his dating life, the Anitta rumor appears destined to remain just that — a rumor fueled by fevered social media speculations rather than substantiated fact. Ultimately, Tyler Boyd’s love life remains an enigma, even as his prowess on the field is indisputable. Perhaps that’s precisely what this intensely private wide receiver and devoted single dad prefers.
