Hawk Tuah girl Haliey Welch confirmed that she is not dating Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold as she finally revealed her boyfriend, or as she calls ‘Pookie’.
Welch stirred up whispers about her dating the NFL star with a teaser for her Talk Tuah podcast, during which she foreshadowed her boyfriend reveal.
Darnold’s photo was shown in the teasing post, leading fans to speculate that he was the mystery man.
However, when the latest installment of the podcast came out on Tuesday, Welch revealed she is not dating Darnold or any other celebrity.
Welch is dating a gentleman named Kelby, who admitted shying away from the spotlight to enjoy his small-town lifestyle.

Kelby is a plumber and revealed how his colleagues began calling him ‘Pookie’ at work after he started dating the viral sensation.
They also shared how Welch’s cousin KK hid in the back of her car for three hours when she first hung out with Kelby.
‘KK is a G,’ Welch said, laughing. ‘I was scared. I didn’t wanna go by myself. So he started kissing me and by the time I looked over, I saw KK peeking up from under the covers looking at me.
While he is not the mystery boyfriend, Darnold is shining on the field as the Vikings are 7-2 to start the season.
Darnold has completed 179 of 261 passes for 2,141 yards and 17 touchdowns. Minnesota triumphed in the first stop of their three-game road trip with a 12-7 win in Jacksonville.
They will take on the Titans on the 17th and the Bears on the 24th.
