WWE legend Brock Lesnar's daughter Mya goes public with romance with NFL star Drew Moss
Credit: Instagram/ Drew Moss Mya Lesnar, daughter of WWE legend Brock Lesnar, has made her relationship with San Francisco 49ers rookie Drew Moss official. The couple confirmed their romance via Instagram, when Moss posted a photo of himself and Lesnar dressed up for a wedding under the caption 'Forever wedding date,' and Lesnar replied calling him 'My handsome man'. For a while, Mya Lesnar chose not to reveal her partner's identity. In an interview in May 2025 for her college website, she spoke about Moss without revealing his identity. The daughter of Brock Lesnar stated that she had a boyfriend, and he and his family had been a huge support in her sporting journey and her record-breaking shot put victory. Senior Lesnar is yet to make any reactions to this news. 'Power couple status' Drew Moss began his collegiate football career at Lamar, where he started all 22 games over the 2021 and 2022 seasons. After transferring to Colorado State in 2023, Moss quickly became a cornerstone of the Rams' offensive line. He started every game that season at offensive guard, helping the team average nearly 400 yards per game while giving up only 14 sacks. In his senior year, Moss once again started every game—13 in total—and played a key role in reducing the team's sack count even further, down to just 10 for the season. The offensive line also helped produce Colorado State's first 1,000-yard rusher since 2017. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo Moss was named to the All-Mountain West Second Team in his final year, following an honorable mention recognition as a junior. Mya Lesnar, meanwhile, built a dominant track and field résumé at Colorado State. In 2024, she claimed the NCAA indoor shot put national title and was named the Mountain West Female Athlete of the Year. She has since joined the global circuit, competing in the prestigious Diamond League. In July 2025, Lesnar placed 10th in the shot put at the Prefontaine Classic. The Instagram reveal turned both Drew Moss and Mya Lesnar into instant headlines. Fans hailed the couple as a 'powerhouse pairing'. Many even cheered that their kids would be a prodigy. A user wrote, 'They are going to produce the strongest offspring the world has ever seen.' Another wrote, 'I'm sorry but I would NOT want to have my father in law be Brock Lesnar.' Third user, 'Awww. So nice to see people happy together.'

Malaika Arora Stuns In A Bold Black-And-White Bralette On Her Italian Vacay With Son
Last Updated: Malaika Arora stuns in Tuscany with sexy outfits, vineyard strolls and bonding time with son Arhaan. If you needed a reminder to book that Italian escape, Malaika Arora just dropped one and it's hot. The diva is currently soaking up the sun and slow life in Tuscany, and her latest Instagram dump is all about easy glam, scenic vineyards, and heartfelt bonding with son Arhaan Khan. In the pictures, Malaika oozes effortless sexiness in a monochrome strapless bralette and cap, her sun-kissed skin glowing against the backdrop of Tuscany's rolling hills. The look is bold, summery, and exactly the kind of energy you want to carry into your next holiday. Another picture shows her posing with Arhaan as the golden hour bathes them in warmth — she looks like a goddess in a ruched ivory bodycon dress with a delicate rosette detail, while Arhaan keeps it cool in a brown suede jacket. A third photo is pure Tuscan indulgence — a tray of tomato-loaded focaccia held up to the camera, perfectly crispy and rustic, just like the vibe of this mother-son vacation. She captioned the carousel, 'Leafy roads, vineyard stops, clean air, quality time with my son and zero complaints. Tuscany, you win.🍇🍃" View this post on Instagram A post shared by Malaika Arora (@malaikaaroraofficial) It's a slice of life that's romantic, wholesome and aspirational all at once. Malaika, known for turning heads wherever she goes, proves yet again that sexy doesn't always mean high heels and red carpets — sometimes, it's about linen outfits, sun-drenched adventures, and meaningful moments. Interestingly, just a few weeks ago on June 26, Malaika made headlines for wishing ex-boyfriend Arjun Kapoor a happy birthday. She posted a sweet, candid boomerang of him on her Instagram Stories, captioned simply: 'Happy Birthday." In the video, Arjun wore a relaxed white shirt and black pants, smiling easily for the camera. The two dated for nearly six years before parting ways in 2023. Arjun had confirmed the breakup during promotions for Singham Again, telling fans, 'Nahi nahi abhi single hun, relax karo," when asked about Malaika. Despite the split, Malaika seems to be thriving — living, loving, and serving up glam goals with zero regrets. Tuscany might've won, but we're pretty sure Malaika's winning too.
