She’s widely recognized as the ex-girlfriend of Blake Bortles, the former quarterback for the University of Central Florida and later the Jacksonville Jaguars. Their relationship was a significant part of her public story, especially during his early NFL days. The couple actually started dating back in high school—Oviedo High, to be exact—and continued their relationship while both attended UCF together. However, things took a turn when they split up midway through Blake Bortles’ first season in the NFL.

Before all the spotlight, she grew up in Maitland, FL, where she was raised alongside her brother Kyle. Family life had its ups and downs; her parents eventually divorced, and her father, Craig, remarried a woman named Sultana.

After her time with Blake Bortles, she moved on to new chapters personally, including starting a relationship with Ben Higgins in 2017. While Blake Bortles remained in the sports headlines, her journey evolved beyond that connection. Still, references to Blake Bortles often come up when people talk about her past, given how long they were together before fame changed everything. Through it all, she’s maintained her own path, even as the name Blake Bortles continues to surface in conversations about her history.
