Hometown love is in the air! What you tryna do? Not exactly the 24K magic lyric by Bruno Mars, but y’all get the point. Ian Hershey and his girlfriend Avia Colette Butler’s story will make it clear for you. Both kicking off well in life and sharing a sweet love life at the same time. Just a slight difference is there! While his girlfriend vlogs her cute lifestyle, Ian is literally the Kicker in the gridiron. Fancy combination, right?

After handling all kicking duties for the Idaho State Bengals, the kicker took his talents to ASU Sun Devils back in 2023. Now a vital part of the Devils special teams, will enter into his 2024 redshirt sophomore campaign kicking some field goals. The Highland high schooler is battling for the starter position with graduate student Dario Longhetto as the sole placekicker and with fellow redshirt junior Race Mahlum to punt. While in a cutthroat environment at college, finds solace in his high school love.

It also turns out the Sun Devils star’s boo is a talented and well-known YouTube sensation. Better known as PrincessTard amongst her fans. Avia’s YouTube journey traces back in time to 2014. Born on May 4, 2005, in Idaho is a young YouTube star indeed. She’s probably the ‘it girl’ at Highland High School, and I bet she must’ve even streamed her graduation last year. It would’ve been easy for the high school sweethearts to spot each other with both under spotlights in their respective fields.

The most intriguing fact is that the Avia-Ian love story kicked off with the ref’s whistle back in their high school days. The YouTube star also cheerled at the Highland. Didn’t know gridiron could be this sweet. PrincessTard runs her YouTube channel under the name ‘Avia’ and the Devils kicker is a regular appearance on her channels.

The couple will celebrate their fifth anniversary in November, just before Ian’s birthday on December 31st. Her fans could be seeing more cute pictures wishing him on her Gram similar to the ones she posted before. With a very lovely caption, “Happy 19th Birthday to the man who changed my life, I love you so so much! I grow more fond of you every single day and I can’t wait to see what you will conquer in the future. I hope you have the bestest birthday EVER☺️❤️” We promise to not make y’all feel more single! Just bear with us.
