Mornings are already a struggle, but Sauce Gardner? Bro woke up to a real nightmare. Imagine rolling over, checking your security cam, and boom—your best bud betrayed you in the most disrespectful way possible. No warning, no remorse, just straight-up chaos to start the day.
Sauce hit up his Insta story to air out his grievances, posting the footage of his dog pooping on his floors with the caption: “This is how my morning starts.” Yeah, not exactly the wholesome morning vibes he was probably hoping for. But hey, if he can lock down elite receivers, he can handle a little dog drama… probably.
On the field, Sauce Gardner has been cooking. He snagged a clutch INT against the Jaguars—his first since his rookie season—which basically shut down Mac Jones and secured the W for the Jets. The haters were chirping about his lack of picks, so this one had to feel extra sweet.

But let’s be real, it hasn’t all been smooth sailing. He had to sit out a game against the Dolphins with a hamstring injury, and the Jets’ defense lowkey flopped. Sauce later admitted they might’ve been too comfy and needed to lock in. And when he whiffed on a tackle against the Cardinals? He didn’t run from it—just straight-up said, “I’ve got to make that tackle.” No cap. That kind of accountability is why he’s one of the best.
Sauce & Spice? The streets think they are a thing
Sauce Gardner might not just be locking up receivers—word on the street is, he’s locking in Ice Spice too. Fans have been in full detective mode after the two were spotted together a little too often lately. From dinner dates to Ice Spice vibing at a Jets game, the math is mathing, and people are convinced something’s going on.

It all really popped off after they were on The Shop together with LeBron and Travis Scott. Then Ice Spice pulled up to a Jets game, and the internet started side-eyeing real hard. But the biggest clue? A viral clip of some dude dancing to an Ice Spice song right in front of her while she was allegedly out with Sauce. TikTok went full CSI, analyzing every frame like it was a Marvel post-credit scene.

What’s your perspective on:
Is Sauce Gardner's rumored romance with Ice Spice the next big NFL power couple?
Have an interesting take?
Meanwhile, Sauce Gardner is gearing up for a major offseason. He finished 2024 with just one pick and didn’t make the Pro Bowl or First-Team All-Pro, but let’s not get it twisted—he was still clamping dudes. Now he’s up for a long-term extension, and the Jets seem ready to cut the check. And if the Ice Spice rumors are true? Bro’s about to enter a whole new level of stardom.
With Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift owning the internet and Josh Allen getting cozy with Hailee Steinfeld, NFL x pop star couples are basically the move now. If Sauce and Ice Spice are really a thing, the Jets might’ve just secured their own celeb power couple.
