Antonio Brown‘s love life keeps throwing curveballs at fans. Just months after welcoming his seventh child and sharing kisses with Lil Kim, the former NFL star’s romantic status has sparked fresh speculation – this time with social media powerhouse Woah Vicky.

The buzz kicked off when Vicky posted intimate photos on X showing her and Brown getting cozy during what looked like a date night. The snaps captured Brown with his arms wrapped around her, plus another showing her legs propped up on his lap while he drove. But faster than a wide receiver’s route, the photos vanished from her feed.

Breaking her silence on November 1, Vicky dropped two cryptic messages on X. “I just be playing,” she wrote, followed by another post stating “It’s all <3.” The posts left fans scratching their heads about the pair’s relationship status.

This latest romance whisper comes hot on the heels of Brown’s eventful summer. In July, he welcomed baby boy Ace with model Cydney Moreau, barely a week after cameras caught him locking lips with rapper Lil Kim at a yacht party. Talk about a busy schedule.

Brown’s personal life has been anything but smooth sailing lately. Beyond his expanding family tree, the 36-year-old faces serious financial hurdles. He filed for bankruptcy with less than $50,000 in assets, owing creditors nearly $3 million – quite a fall for someone who pocketed $80 million during his NFL career. His legal issues for unpaid child support only add another layer to this social media soap opera.

Social media star or strategic move?

For those wondering about the other half of this equation, Woah Vicky isn’t new to stirring up online drama. Since bursting onto YouTube in 2017, the 23-year-old Atlanta native has built an empire of 3.7 million Instagram followers and 9 million TikTok fans through viral moments and strategic moves.

Her track record includes a previous “feud” with Bhad Bhabie, which she later admitted was pure theater. “It was clout from my end. I was at the crib laughing, making them video,” Vicky confessed to The Shade Room back in 2023, showing she knows how to play the social media game.

Between running her skincare line Woah Skin and planning “The Woah Show” podcast, Vicky has mastered the art of staying relevant. Her content mix of travel vlogs, pranks, and music keeps her millions of followers hooked.

These deleted photos with Brown might be another chapter in her social media playbook – or maybe there’s more to the story. Either way, both stars know exactly how to keep fans coming back for more.
