Denny Hamlin is unarguably one of the most controversial figures in the NASCAR Cup Series. From on-track wrecks to his unfiltered off-track statements, Hamlin has been in the limelight for not-so-good reasons more often than not. So naturally, it would interest people to know what’s going on in their personal life. And as things stand, he is engaged to Jordan Fish.
Who is Denny Hamlin?
Only one of the most outspoken and unapologetic racers perhaps in the history of NASCAR. The veteran race car driver is one of the biggest stars of Joe Gibbs Racing, driving the #11 car. Hamlin is considered to be the best racer in the present to have not won a Cup Series championship. Despite that, he has still earned several accolades in NASCAR like being a multi-time winner of the Daytona 500 and Southern 500, and the 2022 winner of the Coca-Cola 600. He was the 2006 Cup Series Rookie of the Year and was included in NASCAR’s 75 Best Drivers list, in 2023.

Incidentally, Hamlin first met Fish at a Charlotte Bobcats game in January 2007. Back then, the Carolina-born dancer was still a member of the Lady Cats. At the time, Hamlin was sitting courtside at a game. It was then that his eyes met Fish’s as she performed a routine on the sideline.
However, it wasn’t until several months that they started dating each other. Fish got in touch with Hamlin to sponsor her for the Miss South Carolina USA pageant. As a thank-you gesture, she asked the Joe Gibbs Racing driver out for a dinner, which turned out to be the starting point of their dating phase.

Does Denny Hamlin have any children with his girlfriend?
Hamlin and Fish are blessed with two children. The couple’s first child, a daughter Taylor, was born on January 20, 2013. Four years later, their second child, another daughter named Molly, was born on August 15, 2017. At the time of her pregnancy, Fish used to keep her followers updated by blogging and through Twitter.
In his vast 30,000-square-foot mansion, Hamlin is normally seen hanging out with his daughters and Fish. The 23XI Racing co-owner frequently posts pictures of his daughters on his Instagram account. The veteran NASCAR Cup Series driver was embarrassed once as he failed to answer a question concerning his children. Luckily, Fish was around to help him out.
What did Jordan Fish post on Twitter?
Despite being the lucky parents of two wonderful daughters, the relationship between Hamlin and Fish hasn’t been the smoothest. While everything seems to be going well between the two now, Fish’s tweets in 2021 shook the fans as she confessed her unhappiness with the three-time Daytona 500 winner.

As per the New York Post, the tweets read: “I have been quiet for too long for far too long… and I have endured things no one person should EVER have to endure and today was no exception. @dennyhamlin I hope everyone will finally see you for the person you truly are,”
“Myself and our children deserve better than what you have given. I cannot believe I ever thought that someone like you could change. Because you cannot. You have a long road ahead of you, and one I graciously no longer will be apart of. Have a great life @dennyhamlin.”
Post that, she deactivated her Twitter account and made her Instagram account private citing hate and abuse. Despite restoring those accounts to the public domain, Fish has uploaded pictures of her and her family since those tweets. Even Hamlin has never openly spoken about the tweets, nor did he have Fish in any of his pictures on social media ever since the incident took place, until recently.
