As rumors continue to swirl about the relationship status of Aryna Sabalenka and Dave Portnoy after their antics at the US Open, they reportedly met on Friday night in Miami.

The couple met for what is believed to be a date at an undisclosed location in Miami, after Portnoy made clear his fandom for the tennis ace.

“I love her. I’m Sabalenka for life,” Portnoy said in a video posted during the tournament.

US Open flirtation

The pair were accused of flirting at the US Open after they publicly linked each other, though there was no sign of if they were dating.

He tweeted and vlogged about her matches, and even placed a significant wager on her semifinals match against Madison Keys.

In return, Sabalenka invited Portnoy to sit in her box for her match against Coco Gauff last month, but the entrepreneur was unable to attend.

Who is Dave Portnoy?

Portnoy is a businessman and social media personality, best known as the founder and owner of Barstool Sports, a digital media company that covers sports, pop culture, and gambling.

Portnoy was born in Swampscott, Massachusetts in 1977 and graduated from the University of Michigan in 1999 with a degree in education.

He founded Barstool Sports in 2007 as a free newspaper that Portnoy handed out on subway platforms and street corners in Boston.

In 2016, Barstool Sports was acquired by Peter Chernin’s Chernin Group for a majority stake, and in 2020, Penn National Gaming acquired a 36% stake in Barstool Sports, before Penn National Gaming acquired the remaining stake in Barstool Sports for $388 million in 2023.
