Gia Duddy became an overnight sensation back during the NFL Draft.

Fans took notice of the recent Penn State grad sitting next to her boyfriend, former Nittany Lions quarterback Will Levis, in the green room as he waited to hear his name called and her name started trending across social media.

She’s a social media influencer — and a pretty good one at that — on top of having that new degree, so the buzz was, mostly, good for her.

Her Instagram an TikTok accounts have substantially more followers now than they did before the draft, and her name has ended up in plenty of headlines.

Folks obviously find the glimpse inside of her life, and now the brief glimpses inside of Levis’ life, interesting.

For instance, Duddy addressed the couples’ relationship and planned living situation in Nashville this week on TikTok. Yes, she is following Levis as he begins his career with the Tennessee Titans, and was preparing to apartment shop when she spilled the beans on their planned setup.

“We have been doing long distance for over two years now, been dating almost three,” Duddy said. “So, we’re tired of living separate. We are going to move to the same city … different apartments though.”

That last part — the whole separate pads thing — hasn’t escaped most folks, apparently, because she addressed that, too.

“Everyone always asks why we are not living together because I guess that like weird,” she said. “But my theory is that if we are meant to be together, we can live together for the rest of our lives, and we are still young. I’m 21. I’m not ready to live with a man just yet.”

Duddy said she does think she wants a roommate.

“I conveniently have a couple of friends that are also moving to Nashville,” she said.

Duddy has nearly 478,000 followers on TikTok now, and 147,000 followers on Instagram.

Her explanation for the living arrangement makes plenty of sense. No reason to rush things.
