Why Paige Spiranac Keeps Her Love Life Locked Away: The Heartbreaking Reason She Never Shows Her Boyfriend!

Paige Spiranac, the golf influencer and former professional player turned social media powerhouse, captivates millions with her candid content on the sport, fashion, and life lessons. With over four million Instagram followers, she shares openly about her career, mental health struggles, and even her work on projects like her cameo in *Happy Gilmore 2*. Yet when it comes to her romantic relationships, Spiranac draws a firm boundary—one she has maintained for years.

In a revealing Instagram Q&A in August 2025, Spiranac addressed fan questions about her current relationship status directly, confirming she is dating someone but emphasizing that intimate details will stay private. She explained her stance with raw honesty: she was previously married young to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018, but the marriage ended in divorce by 2022. While she kept the split relatively quiet at the time, the aftermath proved overwhelming.

The real heartbreak came not from the divorce itself, but from the relentless online harassment that followed. Spiranac revealed that, even years later, she continues to receive “horrible and harassing” messages from strangers about her past relationship. These toxic comments—often unsolicited judgments, criticisms, and attacks—left a lasting impact. “Still, to this day, many years later, the amount of messages that I get that are horrible and harassing about a previous relationship just really made up my mind that I was never going to publicly talk about that side of my life, friends or family, ever again,” she said.

This experience shaped her decision to shield her current boyfriend from public view. Spiranac stressed that her choice isn’t about maintaining a certain image or appeasing followers—assumptions she addressed head-on: “People would assume that it’s because ‘oh, guys follow you and you don’t want to lose your audience.’ No. Really this is just to protect my sanity, and I just never want to go through that again.” By keeping her love life offline, she avoids giving anyone the “right to ask questions” or demand explanations, especially if things don’t work out. “If you never put anything online, you never owe anyone an explanation,” she added.

Spiranac has shared glimpses of her relationship in the past—mentioning in 2023 that her boyfriend works long hours, and they support each other by picking up the slack when one is busier. She has also debunked rumors linking her to celebrities like Tom Brady or Bryson DeChambeau, insisting she’s “never dated anyone famous, ever.” Some reports have identified her partner as investment banker Zach Brantly, but Spiranac has never confirmed details or shared photos, prioritizing her mental well-being over public curiosity.

Her approach reflects a broader lesson in boundaries for those in the spotlight: even when sharing so much of oneself—vulnerability included—it’s okay to reserve a private corner of life. Spiranac remains “very open and honest” in other areas, but this one piece stays just for her. In a world where oversharing can invite scrutiny and pain, her choice to lock away her love life is a powerful act of self-protection—one born from a heartbreaking lesson she refuses to repeat.
