Nick Bosa is accustomed to dominating headlines for his on-field play, but lately, it’s his personal life that has fans talking.
The San Francisco 49ers star defensive end has been at the center of dating rumors after country music’s rising sensation, Megan Moroney, was spotted at Levi’s Stadium in September. It didn’t take long for fans to start connecting the dots and speculating that something more might be going on between the two.
Who is Megan Moroney, and What are the Current Rumors with Nick Bosa?
Moroney is no stranger to the spotlight herself. Born in Savannah, Georgia, she burst onto the country scene in 2022 with her hit single “Tennessee Orange,” a clever nod to football rivalries that immediately caught listeners’ attention.
Since then, she’s been on a meteoric rise, releasing “Lucky” in 2023 and “Am I Okay?” in 2024, the latter of which broke into the Billboard 200’s Top 10. Her unique sound, often dubbed “emo cowgirl,” mixes raw, emotional lyrics with modern country hooks, making her one of Nashville’s fastest-rising stars.
Her career reached another milestone last year when she was named CMA’s New Artist of the Year.
The rumors about her and Bosa began swirling when she shared photos from a 49ers game, dressed in team red and holding a jersey. Fans noticed that she and Bosa also follow each other on Instagram, only adding fuel to the speculation.
Although neither of them has addressed the chatter, fans have flooded Moroney’s comments with questions about whether she’s dating the 49ers’ star. Whether it was just a casual game day outing or a subtle hint of something more, the timing of her post has everyone curious.
Bosa’s 2025 Season Cut Short, Long Road of Recovery Ahead
Unfortunately for Bosa, the rumors didn’t even have time to settle before his 2025 season was cut short. He ended his season early after tearing his right ACL in Week 3 against the Arizona Cardinals.
His two sacks, two forced fumbles, and nine solo tackles in just three games served as a reminder of how disruptive he can be when healthy. San Francisco has centered much of their defensive identity on his presence, so his absence will be a significant setback.
Bosa inked a five-year, $170 million contract extension in 2023, of which he is now in the third season. The 49ers will receive some financial relief from the agreement, but Bosa’s recovery will be a challenging and prolonged process.
He might, however, have a particular someone to rely on in the upcoming difficult months if the rumors about Moroney are accurate. Fans will continue to keep an eye on their feeds in the hopes that the NFL player and well-known country music performer will formally announce their relationship.
