Last Sunday, Trevor Lawrence earned his team a monumental victory and almost got Paige VanZant divorced. That’s correct. The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback displayed a phenomenal performance in the Week 15 of the 2022 NFL season and put a stop to their run of poor performances. Many spectators were thrilled upon seeing this enthralling match between Jacksonville Jaguars and Dallas Cowboys, and Paige VanZant was certainly one of those. The UFC star followed the match dedicatedly, like any other NFL fan, and couldn’t help but praise Lawrence for his good looks. She then said that if the Jacksonville Jaguars win the game, her husband might perhaps think twice about staying married to her. And Trevor Lawrence breathed life into Paige VanZant‘s words, as he performed exceptionally against Dallas Cowboys in that match.

VanZant was complimenting the QB while fretting about her spouse, Austin Vanderford. Not that he might not like that she find Lawrence attractive. The worry was, in fact, the other way around.

Jacksonville Jaguars’ win almost cost Paige VanZant’s marriage

Paige VanZant kept the fans updated throughout the Jacksonville Jaguars vs Dallas Cowboys game. And upon doing so, she went on to compliment Trevor Lawrence for how good-looking he was. However, she was nervous that her husband would share her viewpoint, which could provide a challenge for their marriage.

The 28-year-old wrote, “I think @Trevorlawrencee might be the most beautiful football player ever….. meaning, I’m a little nervous my husband might leave me for him if he wins this game.”

Cut to the results, the “beautiful football player” in question became the hero of the game and put on an extraordinary performance, giving his team a resounding victory. Hence, the former UFC fighter was then contemplating her marital status.

“And…….. am I single now?”, wrote VanZant.

Although it was all on a light-hearted note. The couple is still together, of course. Paige VanZant got married to the Bellator fighter Austin Vanderford in 2018, two years before she parted ways with the UFC. And the two have been happily married ever since.

However, the ex-UFC star was still not done with tweeting about the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback. She had one more thing to say. And Trevor Lawrence would definitely find this flattering.

Paige VanZant calls Trevor Lawrence “modern day Fabio”

Even after previously gushing over the NFL star, Paige VanZant went on to make another tweet about him. Following the tweets where she supposedly risked her marriage, the 28-year-old went on to draw similarities between Trevor Lawrence and Fabio Lanzoni, the celebrated Italian-American actor and fashion model.

VanZant tweeted, “. @Trevorlawrencee = modern day Fabio. 🤣” given the similarities between the two with long hair. And she is indeed correct in that. The Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback certainly looks like Fabio Lanzoni from his young days.

On the professional front, after quitting UFC, Paige VanZant turned to Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship and simultaneously signed a contract with All Elite Wrestling. However, VanZant has stated that she is still open to making a comeback in MMA someday.
