Kay Adams has found herself at the center of some curious conversations lately—not about her sharp takes on Up & Adams, but about her personal life. Why the buzz? She’s been single for a while now, and her podcast’s NFL star-studded guest list only adds fuel to the rumor mill. Yet every time, the question pops up— ‘Is she dating an NFL player? Someone outside the sports world?’—her answer is a consistent ‘No’.

But hey, who needs dating rumors when you’ve got proposal stories stealing the show? And trust me, this one’s a real gem. Flashback to the Commanders vs. Falcons game—not just a playoff clincher for Washington but a moment that belonged to Jeremy Reaves. While the Commanders’ safety played it cool on the field, he went all out postgame, dropping to one knee and proposing to his long-time girlfriend, Mikaela Worley.

During a conversation with Reaves and his fiancé, Mikaela, Adams declared that she wasn’t quite a fan of the in-stadium proposal earlier, but now she has a change of mind. “I’m not an in-stadium public proposal-like fan,” Adams said. “But you made me a fan because it was you.”

After the Commanders took down the Falcons 30-24, Reaves took center stage—not to make a play, but to propose to his longtime girlfriend, Mikaela. And guess what? She said yes! In front of the crowd and teammates, he slipped the ring on her finger, turning a big win into an unforgettable moment. Now, that’s how you cap off a game day!

During his chat with Kay, Reaves let it slip that his girlfriend had no idea what was about to go down. When asked about it, Mikaela laughed and said, “Clueless. I wish I would’ve known—I would’ve looked a little better!” But honestly, who needs the perfect look when you get a proposal like that? Now, the couple is heading into 2025 together with an unforgettable moment—and a shiny new ring. Not a bad way to start the year!

Kay Adams’ poetic New Year snap

Not just for the newly engaged couple, the New Year brought happy vibes for Kay, too. The reporter was seen embracing the first light of 2025 with some serious golden-hour vibes.

She took to her official Instagram handle and shared the first snap of this year, writing, “My barn having burned down, I can now see the moon.” Honestly, the pic screams a fresh start, doesn’t it? The sun’s glow, that relaxed look, and what else is a better way to start your year with a famous line attributed to the Japanese poet Mizuta Masahide?

This caption seems like her way of finding the silver lining—or maybe she’s just letting us know she’s ready to move past the drama and see things more clearly. Quoting an ancient Japanese philosopher? A bold choice, but it works. If nothing else, it’s a fresh vibe for 2025: challenges behind her, clarity ahead.

And let’s be real—whether it’s her sharp takes on Up & Adams or those lively podcast chats with NFL stars, Kay is absolutely thriving. Sure, the year might have changed, but Kay’s game? Still the same, and better than ever. She’s not just stepping into the new year—she’s owning it.
