Who Is Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Sam Darnold’s Girlfriend Katie Hoofnagle?

<p id=”par-1_78″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/sports/”>Quarterback</a> Sam Darnold experienced quite a career rival when he joined the Minnesota Vikings. He was initially selected by the New York Jets with the third overall pick in the 2018 <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/nfl/”>NFL</a> Draft. Darnold was the signal-caller in the Big Apple until 2020 when he was traded to the Carolina Panthers. After two seasons with that team, he was sent to the San Francisco 49ers to serve as backup to starter <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/49ers-quarterback-brock-purdys-girlfriend-jenna-brandt.html/”>Brock Purdy</a> before being traded again to the Vikings. </p>

<p id=”par-2_55″>And thus in Minnesota, the resurgence of Sam Darnold happened following a season-ending injury to rookie J. J. McCarthy. The quarterback the other teams had given up on began to thrive in the 2024 season. He made the Pro Bowl and led the team to a 14-2 record and a trip to the playoffs. </p>

<p id=”par-3_24″>Now fans want to learn all about Darnold and his life off the field. Here’s more on <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/celebrity-athletes/”>the athlete</a> and his girlfriend, Katie Hoofnagle.</p>

<p id=”par-4_54″>Darnold and Hoofnagle started dating in 2023 when he was still a member of the Niners. They became Instagram official when she shared a post celebrating his birthday that read: “Your huge heart, goofy energy, and ability to quote every movie you’ve ever seen are unmatched. Happy 26th birthday, celebrating you is so easy!”</p>

<p id=”par-5_79″>Some fans were confused that the NFL player was dating “Hawk Tuah Girl” Haliey Welch in 2024 when she decided to reveal the identity of her boyfriend, called “Pookie,” and Darnold’s photo was shown in a teaser post. Rumors then began swirling about a relationship between the two. However, Welch set that record straight and shared that she was not dating Donald as her beau doesn’t even play football. He’s actually a plumber and his name is Kelby Blackwell. </p>

<p id=”par-6_29″>That chatter at the time though didn’t seem to bother Hoofnagle who always posts pictures and shows her support for Darnold as much as possible on social media. </p>
