Kay Adams reveals what really happened to the viral Daniel Jones dating rumors

Before Daniel Jones and Kay Adams were released by the New York Giants, they went viral before the NFL season due to some dating rumors.

Speaking to ClutchPoints about the NFL’s Christmas broadcasts on Netflix, Adams clarified the situation. While she added fuel to the fire by calling Jones her “boyfriend,” she has no regrets.

“No, that (calling him her ‘boyfriend’) was afterward. These things were everywhere. And I said it sarcastic“Adams explained. “I don’t know Daniel Jones. I was really curious about him because he seems like someone who is hard to crack. And so I really wanted to crack the egg. I really wanted to get to know him a little.

“What an opportunity. (The) New York market (is a) big market (with) a lot of storylines, and then I think the Internet just takes it where it’s going to go. I think you can draw your own conclusions about why that is,” she continued.

Ultimately, the Internet becomes the Internet. But Adams stands by what she did and has no regrets.

“My reaction was: this is the Internet. That’s it. “I probably shouldn’t have said sarcastically, you know, ‘my friend,’ because that would have been taken in a wild way,” she admitted, continuing, “But do I regret it? NO.

“I met Daniel Jones twice — once at Giants camp and once at the Super Bowl, if that helps make sense of it,” she concluded with a laugh.

The dating rumors between Kay Adams and Daniel Jones

The rumors began when Adams interviewed Jones at New York Giants training camp. Adams appeared to stutter while Jones discussed his taste in music, sparking online speculation.

Then, before the 2024 NFL season began, Adams interviewed Jermaine Eluemunor and asked the offensive lineman to protect her “boyfriend.”

As she clarified, she was joking and the two were not together. At least she seemed to have handled the situation calmly.

Meanwhile, Jones had a difficult 2024. He began the year as the Giants’ starting quarterback. However, after a loss to the Carolina Panthers and during their bye week, Jones was benched.

He was later demoted to fourth-string quarterback and even played scout team safety in practice. A few days later, he requested his release from the Giants. He then signed with the Minnesota Vikings.

After being selected sixth overall in the 2019 NFL Draft, Jones quickly replaced Eli Manning three games into his rookie season. He had a solid rookie year, followed by a rocky next few years riddled with injuries.

In 2022, Jones led the Giants to their first playoff berth since 2016. They defeated the Vikings in the Wild Card round of the playoffs before losing to the Philadelphia Eagles.
