Gia Duddy’s name is back in the NFL conversation, and this time it’s tied to her new relationship with Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas. She drew plenty of attention after posting a social media vlog that looked a lot like a soft launch of the relationship, including footage from a Bengals training camp practice.
In the video, Duddy mentioned going to watch “our boyfriends” and then zoomed in on Iosivas catching a pass. She also appeared with a friends-and-family wristband and was seen grabbing lunch with other team partners. The message was clear enough for social media to catch on fast.
Duddy has acknowledged that she currently has a boyfriend who plays for the Bengals, though she has not publicly named him in comments. But the attention around her new relationship also reopened an old chapter that has followed her for a while: her past with former boyfriend Will Levis.
That history came back into the spotlight when one X user brought up the leaked adult tape involving Duddy and Levis. The post read, “We’ve all seen #that video and know what she can do behind the scenes #lank,” adding another layer of noise to an already viral moment.
Duddy and Levis dated for three years beginning in 2021 after meeting at Penn State. She supported him through his transfer to Kentucky, then became an overnight internet sensation during the 2023 NFL Draft broadcast when she sat next to him. The attention around the couple eventually faded after they broke up in September 2023 during his rookie season.
They kept the split quiet at first, and Duddy later said she ended the relationship so she could find her own path outside of being an athlete’s girlfriend. Now, she appears to be back in that same spotlight.

Bengals Roster Bubble Gets Real For 3 Players Against The Bears
With the starters expected to sit out against the Bears, Cincinnatis second preseason game shifts the spotlight to the players fighting for jobs a little deeper on the roster. For Landon Robinson, Dohnte Meyers and Colbie Young, this is the kind of night that can matter more than the score, because every snap is part of the case they are making for a spot on the final 53.
Robinson has offered the Bengals some intrigue as a defensive tackle who can also line up at fullback, while Meyers brings value with his ability to help as both a receiver and a returner. Young, meanwhile, is in a crowded wideout race and needs to keep showing he can carve out playing time. In a preseason where opportunities will be limited for many, these three have a chance to turn a routine August game into something much more meaningful. [Read more 🡒]
Bengals Still Have One Threat To Their Super Bowl Hopes
Protecting Joe Burrow remains the issue that hangs over the Bengals whenever the conversation turns from talent to staying power. JaMarr Chase underscored it again as Cincinnati looks ahead to 2026, and for good reason: the offense can still look dangerous on paper, but everything starts with Burrow being upright long enough to make it matter.
The Bengals did cut down on sacks allowed in 2025, yet Burrow still took 17 in eight games, a number that helped cut short his season and limited what the offense could become. Cincinnati has not made major changes up front, choosing instead to trust the lines cohesion, but until that unit proves it can keep Burrow clean, the teams Super Bowl hopes will keep feeling fragile.

Bengals Defense Is Showing A Toughness Fans Have Been Waiting For
Cashius Howell has been one of the quieter stories of Bengals training camp, but the rookie defensive end is starting to make his presence felt. His growth showed up in a joint practice against the Bears, where Cincinnatis defense put together one of its sharper stretches and Howell was part of the pressure that helped set up an interception by Dexter Lawrence.
For a defense that spent last season trying to find more consistency, those late-practice sequences matter. The Bengals were working with better chemistry and a more decisive finish, and Howell pointed to that as the kind of standard that needs to carry over once the games count. [Read more 🡒]
