NFL host Kay Adams responds to rumors she's dating Giants quarterback Daniel Jones: “My boy”

Kay Adams interacts with NFL players professionally and hosts her own football web show.

Rumors have been circulating for weeks that she is more than just a protagonist and reporter after a casual one-on-one interview with New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones during the team's preseason training.

Adams himself addressed the rumors of a romance with Jones in an interview with New York offensive lineman Jermaine Eluemunor.

During the exchange, both laughed several times, while Adams seemed completely enraptured at the thought of Jones.

“You have to protect your boy, my boy, the world thinks, the internet thinks, my boy,” Adams said. “I don't want to talk about it, oh God.”

Adams addressed the rumors this week, calling the New York Giants quarterback “my boy.”

Despite the online rumors, Jones and Adams are both said to be dating other people

“I saw it! I know what you're talking about,” said Eluemunor.

“Jermaine, a girl can't win. I'm trying to get your boy hot,” Adams replied.

“Daniel is a great guy!” replied Eluemunor.

Adams then diverted the conversation completely from football and asked a confidant of Jones whether the quarterback would keep his newly grown beard.

“I told him to keep his beard,” Eluemunor said of Jones' facial hair. “My beard is not as good as his. His beard is lush.”

Adams chuckled at the adjective at the end of the sentence before getting back to the details of how the Giants are preparing to beat the Vikings.

At the end of the interview, Adams had one final message.

“I believe in you, go and protect my friend,” she said, and Eluemunor replied that he would do so “one hundred percent.”

Jones and Adams have tried to keep their personal lives out of the spotlight. The NFL anchor had previously been linked to tight end CJ Uzomah and fellow reporter Shams Charania.

Jones himself is said to have been dating former Duke lacrosse player Ella Bonafede since their time with the Blue Devils.
