The couple had first met at Penn State, where Levis began his college career before transferring to Kentucky. Levis was eventually selected 33rd overall by the Titans, the first pick of the second round. The pair stayed together through the early weeks of the NFL season. Barstool Sports then reported their breakup in September 2023.
Neither Levis nor Duddy publicly tied the split to draft night, but the timing kept fans talking. Levis later opened up about adjusting to life after the three-year relationship.
