The rookie tight end for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Ko Kieft, made headlines when a TMZ-linked social media post linked him to a Hollywood star.
But the 25-year-old seemed as surprised as anyone about the possibility that he was dating actress Margot Robbie.
“According to TMZ, Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Ko Kieft is dating A-List actress Margot Robbie”
– someone wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
On Monday, Kieft wrote “Oh word???” in response to the rumour. Fans seemed to appreciate Kieft’s response.
A Twitter user said:
“I’m going to tell my kids this was Romeo and Juliet.”
Another user asked –
“How nervous was she when she asked you out?”
Others seemed happy with what the tweet said and offered their congratulations.
One person said –
“She inherits a wonderful family.”
On Tuesday, the tweet had more than 30,000 likes and more than 3 million views. Kieft played in 17 games in the 2022 season, but he only caught seven of the 10 passes thrown at him.
When it comes to dating, we’ve also covered other celebrity relationships you might be interested in:
He scored his first touchdown against the Cleveland Browns in Week 12 of the season. While Kieft hasn’t done much offensively, he has shown himself to be useful on special teams.
Keith Armstrong, who is in charge of special teams, spoke about Kieft’s performance in Week 18.
“Ko’s brought toughness to the unit”
– said Armstrong about Kieft.
“He’s a smart kid, (he’s) clear in all four stages. He would be on the field goal if he had to – the man wants to play. I can’t say enough about him… tough and smart – you can’t replace him. And he shows up every week.
In special teams, where he played 271 snaps, he was mainly used as a blocker. But Kieft did get seven meters back on one kick-off return.
Kieft was born in Iowa and attended college in Minnesota, where he played football. If Cameron Brate and Kyle Rudolph leave Tampa Bay, he could play a bigger role next season.
Although she gets a lot of attention from the press, actress Margot Robbie doesn’t often talk about her private life. Tom Ackerley, a British assistant director, and Robbie met on the set of Suite Française in 2013.
In 2014, she moved to London with Ackerley and Sophia Kerr and Josey McNamara, who co-founded LuckyChap Entertainment with Ackerley.
Later that same year, Robbie and Ackerley started dating together. They got married in Australia in December 2016 and now live in Venice Beach, California.
