Is Brock Lesnar's daughter dating 49ers rookie? Mya Lesner and Drew Moss drop a bomb on WWE and NFL fans
Former mixed martial artist Brock Lesnar's daughter, Mya Lesnar, has officially confirmed her relationship with San Francisco 49ers offensive lineman Drew Moss. The two made their romance public this week when Moss posted a pair of photos to Instagram, taken at a wedding. One image showed them smiling for the camera, the other captured Moss kissing Mya on the cheek. The caption: 'Forever wedding date ❤️.' Mya responded in the comment section with, 'My handsome man 😍,' confirming this to be the first time she publicly acknowledged their relationship. From Colorado state to the national spotlight Although this may be their first public reveal, the relationship did not begin overnight. As reported by TMZ Sports, Mya and Drew met while attending Colorado State University, where both competed in sports—she in track and field, and he on the football team. Mya recently made headlines by winning the 2025 NCAA Division I shot put title. Moss, meanwhile, started 25 games over two seasons for CSU before signing with the 49ers as an undrafted free agent earlier this year. A viral reveal with WWE and NFL fans watching Moss's simple Instagram post quickly gained traction. According to the Times of India, the pairing has stirred buzz across both NFL and WWE circles, not just for who they are, but for their athletic pedigrees. Mya is not only a top-tier collegiate athlete but also the daughter of a former WWE and UFC champion. While Moss is yet to make his NFL debut, he has already grabbed attention far beyond training camp headlines. With fans from both the WWE and NFL now watching closely, this young couple may have just turned their college romance into one of sports' most talked-about young relationships.

NFL Rookie Goes Public With Brock Lesnar's Daughter
NFL Rookie Goes Public With Brock Lesnar's Daughter originally appeared on Athlon Sports. A member of the Lesnar family is making waves in the NFL once again, albeit for an entirely different reason. Rookie San Francisco 49ers guard Drew Moss took to his Instagram account to reveal that he is in a relationship with Mya Lesnar, the daughter of former multi-time WWE champion Brock Lesnar. Moss posted two images of himself with Mya, along with the caption, "Forever wedding date." Mya replied in the comment section by writing, "My handsome man." Moss was an undrafted signing for the 49ers back in April. The 22-year-old started in 47 games throughout his four seasons playing college football. Moss played for the Lamar Cardinals before entering the transfer portal to join the Colorado State Rams. Mya has also made her presence felt at Colorado State University. She won the 2024 NCAA Indoor Shot Put National Championship. Like Moss, Mya also transferred from another school. She was a college athlete at Arizona State University for her freshman and sophomore years. Mya's quick rise in collegiate sports has drawn comparisons to Brock, who was a two-time NCAA All-American in wrestling. Brock won the 1998 NJCAA National Championship before transferring to the University of Minnesota. Brock eventually signed with WWE and quickly became one of the company's top stars before making a tumultuous exit. He attempted to make an NFL run by joining the Minnesota Vikings in 2004. Brock didn't make the 53-man roster, and he turned down an offer to play for the now-defunct NFL Europe league. Brock would move on to have success in the UFC before returning to WWE as a part-time story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jul 16, 2025, where it first appeared.

Girl, 5, on Jet2 holiday just millimetres from tragedy at 'death-trap' hotel
Mya Mullin was just five years old when she was left with permanent scars after the 2018 accident in a hotel room on the Jet2 holiday to Gran Canaria A five-year-old girl who was holidaying with her family on the island of Gran Canaria was just millimetres away from tragedy, it has been revealed. Mya Mullin - who is now 12 - is left with permanent scars after the 2018 accident on the Jet2 holiday. Along with her mum and dad, they were enjoying a package holiday at the Hotel Lago Taurito when Mya mistakenly ran into the closed sliding glass door of their apartment terrace. Her father, Neil Mullin, recounted the harrowing moment, saying he "heard the bang" and then saw Mya "still in the door with glass stuck in her, screaming." He said: "Seeing my child stuck there with the glass embedded and then holding her stomach wound together for about 30 minutes until the ambulance arrived, it really affected all of us. It was just neglect. "You book a holiday for your family and you expect a room that is safe for you and your children, but it didn't look like any recent safety checks had been done. I think Jet2 failed their customers." Mya had to be rushed to a hospital in Las Palmas for surgery on her stomach and leg injuries. Mr Mullin said that taking legal action against Jet2 "wasn't about the money", but rather an effort to hold the company accountable for providing accommodation that was "a death trap". Hudgell Solicitors pursued legal action against Jet2 on behalf of Mya Mullin's family from the West Midlands. The solicitors argued that the door did not comply with Spanish safety regulations and accused Jet2 of neglecting its duty of care to the holidaymakers. Jet2 did not accept responsibility, but did opt for an out-of-court settlement, paying "five-figure" compensation, according to the law firm. Anne Thomson, a specialist in travel accidents at Hudgell Solicitors, said: "Package holiday tour operators have a duty of care to their customers no matter where in the world you travel. "They are responsible for ensuring your safety at your accommodation and that the facilities and services provided meet a satisfactory standard so they are safe. In this case we argued that they had failed." A Jet2 spokeswoman said: "We can confirm that we have reached a settlement in relation to an incident which occurred in 2018. The health and safety of our customers is extremely important to us and we would like to reiterate how sorry we are about this incident."
