Is Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Kyler Murray dating MMA fighter Valentina Shevchenko?

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was spotted at the UFC 300, but he wasn’t alone.

He appeared to be on a date with none other than MMA fighter Valentina Shevchenko.

The fight was held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas on Saturday, and several other celebrities were in attendance including Mike Tyson and Mark Zuckerberg.

Murray, 26, and Shevchenko, 36, were seated next to each other during the fight and the QB even shared a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, with a picture of the two of them together, captioning it, “My date is whooping any of yall’s ass…” with a smiling heart emoji.

Who is Kyler Murray’s girlfriend?

Whether Murray and Shevchenko are dating, or if the Cardinals player made that post as a joke remains unclear.

Murray has previously been linked to Morgan LeMasters. She posted a picture of the couple on her Instagram in June 2021 but has since made her account private so it’s not certain whether they are still an item or not.

Does Valentina Shevchenko have a husband?

Shevchenko does not have a husband. She has been rumored to be married to Pavel Fedotov, her coach, in the past but this does not appear to be true.

There has also been a theory that Shevchenko was involved in a love triangle between UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and MMA fighter Jon Jones. This all seems to be hearsay as Jones and Shevchenko allegedly shared accommodations before the UFC 285, according to MMA fighter Chael Sonnen.

Most recently, Shevchenko was linked to Murray but the two could’ve just been seated next to each other for the event. It remains to be seen if the two will be spotted together again.
