Gia Duddy recently got into a heated public Instagram dispute involving Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Andrei Iosivas. The exchange began under Duddy's Instagram post from the Bengals' Week 4 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, when a commenter mocked Iosivas and questioned her relationship with the NFL player. Both Iosivas and Duddy responded.
The conversation escalated into personal remarks among the commenter, Iosivas, and Duddy, with additional users joining and screenshots circulating on social media.

How It Started
A user enquired about Duddy's relationship status. Another commenter sarcastically referred to Iosivas as 'WR45 on the depth chart Andrei Iosivas', suggesting he holds a low ranking among wide receivers.
Iosivas joined the conversation, tagging the commenter's wife and writing, 'Plz get ur husband off my girls' page'. The commenter replied by tagging Iosivas and stating, 'Get back to running special teams coverage. Your girl's been passed around half the league'.
Duddy then entered the exchange, tagging the commenter's wife and stating he was 'probably a great role model for your daughters'. She criticised the commenter for posting negative remarks on a woman's account and for following women who did not know him.
He responded to Duddy with a personal attack: 'She is lucky that's so kind of you. 'As long as my daughters' claim to fame isn't blow job videos and bouncing around D-list NFL players, I'll be content.'

Fans Split Over Exchange
The discussion soon extended beyond Instagram, with some users supporting Duddy and others criticising both parties for their involvement. One X user wrote, 'This is why celebrities don't get in the comments on social media / They'd get absolutely fried by the average person.'
However, another user disagreed, writing, 'That is harsh when someone says that about your women being passed around. People are sure tough behind the keyboard or phone. It is never good to respond back to people; hopefully lesson learned for both of them.'
Duddy was also recently criticised for a video highlighting the less glamorous aspects of being an NFL player's partner. Duddy, who lives in Cincinnati, explained that several close friends had relocated after their partners were traded to other NFL teams. She joked about a friend moving to Miami, saying, 'Bring me with you'. While these comments drew backlash, research supports some of the challenges she described.
A 2025 study published in Frontiers in Psychology examined partners and spouses of NFL players and found that those who had experienced numerous relocations for their partner's NFL career reported increased anxiety.
Seems like the instagram guy really struck a nerve. pic.twitter.com/r5apdnbHAg

Duddy's NFL History
Duddy first gained public attention through her relationship with quarterback Will Levis, whom she met while studying at Penn State. The pair began dating in 2021. During the 2023 NFL Draft, cameras frequently showed her supporting Levi as he unexpectedly fell out of the first round. The Titans later selected him 33rd overall.
Duddy and Levis ended their relationship in September 2023 after nearly three years together. The issue resurfaced in 2026 when Levis' mother, Beth, addressed an alleged sex tape involving the former couple.
Beth Levis alleged that an Eastern European hacking group stole the video after breaching one of Will Levis' devices while he was in college. She said Levis hired a cybersecurity specialist and a private investigator and spent an 'exorbitant' amount of money trying to remove it from the internet. This background is relevant to the recent Instagram exchange, since the commenter's reference to Duddy's past appears to allude to the controversy.
Further Rumours
Duddy has encountered further NFL-related speculation since her separation from Levis. In April 2025, Duddy denied reports that she was seen with Titans players T'Vondre Sweat, Jeffery Simmons, and Arden Key at a Nashville nightclub. She clarified that she was not in the circulated photograph and stated, 'Journalism is literally dead. I'm not even in this photo or with them... y'all just love a story. Embarrassing'.
Her current association with Iosivas has developed through her social media activity. In August, she posted a 'day in my life' vlog, featuring a behind-the-scenes visit to the Bengals' practice facilities, including footage related to Iosivas. The pair have not formally announced their relationship, although Iosivas referred to Duddy as 'my girl' in a recent Instagram exchange. Their posts and appearances have led several outlets to describe them as a couple.
