Haliey Welch, popularly known as the ‘Hawk Tuah’ girl, has skyrocketed to internet fame, becoming a meme, sticker, and GIF sensation overnight. Just a month ago, she was a regular girl from Belfast, Tennessee, a small town near Lewisburg. Now, everyone is curious about her “Pookie.” Originally a term of endearment, “Pookie” has become synonymous with romantic partners online. YouTuber-turned-wrestler Logan Paul and his dad, Greg Paul, delved into discovering Welch’s Pookie on Jake Paul’s podcast. Let’s explore their findings.
After Jake Paul’s impressive victory against BKFC champion Mike Perry, he was back on his podcast, BS w/ Jake Paul. In the final moments of the episode, Greg asks Welch, “Who is Pookie?” Following that, even Logan was excited to know and pressed her to answer. The Nashville star replied, “I got to leave in a mystery. Okay, he’s got black hair and he’s got the longest eyelashes you’d ever seen.”
Perhaps, the Belfast native likes to keep her personal life private. She concluded the conversation by saying that “it was a situationship.” She appears to be growing weary of the constant inquiries about Pookie. Welch addressed this in an Instagram video, where she is seen sitting on a chair against a purple background.
