Bobbi Althoff is leaning into a new chapter—and she’s surprisingly open about how good it feels.

The podcaster and viral creator recently shared rare insight into her relationship with basketball player Tyler Hawkins, describing their dynamic as calm, grounding, and refreshingly normal.

Althoff confirmed the two have been dating since November 2024, and while she doesn’t overshare her personal life, she didn’t hold back when asked how the relationship fits into her world.

“He’s just a great, great guy,” she said in a recent interview with People. “He is just everything that I’ve ever wanted in someone.”

According to Althoff, the appeal isn’t about status or spectacle. “He’s very kind,” she added. “We have a pretty normal relationship. We do very normal things. We’re pretty regular.”

That sense of stability matters, especially after a year marked by intense public scrutiny. In 2024, Althoff revealed she was dating again following her divorce from Cory Althoff, with whom she shares two daughters.

The disclosure sparked backlash online, prompting her to post an emotional response and rethink how much access she gives the internet.

Since then, she’s drawn firmer boundaries. “With my boyfriend currently, I share just silly videos and stuff,” she explained. “But our actual relationship, I don’t really share too much about. The more I share with people, the more they have on me to comment about.”

She made it clear that comedy—not her private life—is what she wants to lead with: “I like comedy, and I want to share that part of my life more, not my personal life.”

Those reflections came as Althoff was also promoting a very different kind of visibility: her role fronting Adore Me’s 2026 Valentine’s Day lingerie campaign. The shoot marked a sharp contrast to her usual deadpan, awkward persona—and she admitted it wasn’t an obvious yes at first. “I definitely never saw myself doing a lingerie shoot,” she said. “I was very nervous about it.”

Still, she trusted her instincts. Familiarity with the brand and its past work helped her commit. “It felt right,” she explained. “So I was like, ‘You know what? Let’s do this.’"

Once on set, she found herself pleasantly surprised by how the pieces looked and felt. “It was very cute, very unlike me,” she said.
