What's going on between Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky?

Welcome to FTW Explains: a guide to catching up on and better understanding stuff going on in the world. You may have seen a lot of stuff about Paulina Gretzky and golfer Dustin Johnson, and the possibility that their relationship is on the rocks. If you’ve wondered what’s up with that, we’re here to help.

What’s going on with them?

All we knew as of earlier this week was that Gretzky appeared to scrub all photos and videos of Johnson off her Instagram feed. That led to a lot of speculation about what was going on with the engaged couple that has two kids together.

What happened next?

There were publications reporting that a golf fan named Yassie Safai was involved with Johnson, but Safai made her Instagram account public to post a statement saying she wasn’t “in a relationship” with Johnson:

I met Dustin Johnson at Sherwood Country Club. I have run into him at Sherwood maybe 4 times since then and yes briefly spoke with him, like I’m sure any avid golfer and member would. I am sure he is a great person but, we do not have a close friendship. I have never met Paulina Gretzky and do not know the Gretzky family, but again, I am sure they are great people.

I don’t believe that 3 retweets on my Twitter means that I am expressing my adoration for someone. Yes, I have retweeted 3 Dustin Johnson tweets.

I have no insight into the rumors around Dustin Johnson and Paulina Gretzky’s relationship. I wish them nothing but the best.

I just want to go back to living my normal life.

Has either Gretzky or Johnson addressed any of this?

Gretzky hasn’t, but here’s a tweet from the golfer:

What does that mean?

We still don’t know anything definitive.
