Colin Kaepernick is one of the most desirable athletes in the country, and his dating life has been a hot topic of conversation since he became an NFL starter last year. There have been rumors about him dating Sydney Leroux, but he denied that. Then there were questions about him dating actress Sanaa Lathan after he shared a photo on Instagram of the two of them together. Now, after piecing some clues together, the hot rumor is that he may have taken up with Teyana Taylor.
Taylor is an actress/signer/model signed to Kanye West’s label, and she previously dated Milwaukee Bucks guard Brandon Jennings. Necole Bitchie seemed to start the rumor after doing some incredible detective work.
They noticed that Taylor shared a photo on Instagram last week of her on Kaepernick’s couch:
Notice that the pattern and pillow match?
Then Kaepernick and Taylor happened to visit the same dentist on the exact same day last week (also the same day she shared the photo on Kaepernick’s couch):
“Thanks to @dmengdds for keep these teeth pearly white!” Kaepernick wrote on Instagram.
“Hanging out with @teyanataylor #goodmusic” the dentist said on Instagram.
Hey, maybe they’re just friends, you know? But those are a few interesting coincidences, and keep in mind that Lathan recently said she and Kaepernick are not dating.
“No, it’s not happening with Colin Kaepernick,” Lathan said in an interview with Essence.
Lathan said all she did was share a photo on Instagram and rumors blew up.
The rumor didn’t seem right because Kaepernick wouldn’t share a photo of someone he’s dating — he’s more discreet than that. And the Taylor rumor would be more accurate, because he hasn’t provided any hints of a relationship with her; it took a website matching a couch and dentist to start that one.
