Paige Spiranac is one of golf's most visible personalities, but when it comes to her romantic life, she stays silent. While millions follow her every post, she has made a deliberate decision: her relationships remain offline. That choice is rooted in past experiences, and reveals the emotional cost of digital fame.

Public Divorce Prompted a Permanent Shift

Spiranac married personal trainer Steven Tinoco in 2018, but by 2022, the marriage had ended quietly. She confirmed the divorce during a casual Q&A on Instagram, saying simply: 'I am no longer married',

The response was immediate and overwhelming. The Sun reported that she received a flood of unsolicited commentary. 'The amount of messages I got about my previous relationship was horrible', she later shared. 'It made up my mind that I was never going to publicly talk about that side of my life again'.

This was not about secrecy, it was about protecting herself.

Why Dating Rumours Won't Go Away

Spiranac has been repeatedly linked to high-profile male athletes, including Tom Brady and Bryson DeChambeau. But as she told fans on her podcast, these rumours are entirely unfounded.

'I've never dated anyone famous, ever. Not even close', she said, according to Marca. She explained that simply appearing alongside athletes often sparks speculation: 'That's always the headline'.

Despite her denials, gossip continues. And that persistence, she says, reinforces her decision to stay silent on personal matters.

Online Fame Brings Followers, Not Romance

Spiranac has over 4.1 million followers on Instagram, and her online content routinely garners hundreds of thousands of views. Yet in real life, she says, people rarely approach her.

'I don't get asked out. People think I'm either taken or unapproachable', she shared with listeners. 'It's actually quite isolating'.

The contrast between digital attention and real-world interaction highlights the emotional toll fame can take. Her decision to set boundaries is not only understandable, it's necessary.

Early Harassment Changed Everything

Spiranac first gained widespread media attention in 2015 when she received a sponsor's invitation to the Dubai Ladies Masters. At just 22, she was suddenly the target of online harassment, much of it sexist and demeaning.

Per reports from iHeartRadio, some accused her of using her looks to gain opportunities. 'It was degrading', she recalled. 'The things people said made me want to disappear'.

The experience shaped how she manages fame. By refusing to disclose her private life, she protects herself from the same kind of scrutiny that once left her emotionally drained.

Her Business Model Rewards Selective Sharing

Since stepping away from professional golf in 2019, Spiranac has successfully built a media and content empire. Her subscription platform, OnlyPaige, offers exclusive material for £9.95 ($12) per month, and she hosts a popular podcast titled Playing-A-Round with Paige Renee.

But in late 2024, she began to shift focus. 'I want to get back to what made me fall in love with the game', she told the New York Post. She announced plans to feature more golf instruction and fewer lifestyle posts.

That decision wasn't driven by scandal or crisis, it was a business and emotional reset. And it's working.

Privacy Is Her Power Move

The most common question Spiranac receives from fans is: 'Are you dating anyone?' Her consistent reply: 'That's not something I share anymore'.

After facing harassment, constant speculation and the emotional weight of public scrutiny, she has chosen privacy. Not because she has something to hide, but because she has learned the cost of being too open.

'Some things are just mine', she told listeners. 'And that's enough'.
