What happened to Steelers' Mason Rudolph and tennis player Genie Bouchard's relationship?

At the start of the year, things were pretty great for Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph. With longtime quarterback Ben Roethlisberger set to hang up his boots, 27-year-old Rudolph finally had the chance to stake his claim as the Steelers' starting quarterback.

His dating life was good, too, as he was in a relationship with Canadian tennis player Eugenie "Genie" Bouchard.

However, with the 2022-23 NFL season fast approaching, things have taken a turn for the worse. The addition of former No. 2 draft pick Mitch Trubisky from the Buffalo Bills means Rudolph will have a battle on his hands to earn the starting QB role.

Meanwhile, his relationship with Bouchard came to an end in March. According to TMZ, the couple decided to split after being together for nearly two years.

The reason for their breakup was never publicly revealed, but according to the publication, the couple decided to end their relationship on an 'amicable' note. Reportedly, they chose to remain friends after the breakup.

News of the NFL quarterback dating Bouchard first broke in September 2020, when Bouchard posted a picture of herself at a fancy restaurant in Pittsburgh with the caption "Pitt Stop."

The quarterback, presumably her dinner date for the night, dropped a like on the photo.

TMZ reported that the relationship initially began as a romantic fling but quickly turned serious. Multiple reports claimed that the two were 'inseparable.' They made their relationship official on Valentine's Day 2021 via social media.

The 2014 Wimbledon finalist made several appearances at Steelers games to support Rudolph. In November 2021, while on vacation in Mexico, Bouchard posted a story on Instagram showing her support for the NFL player, who was set to make his first start of the season after Roethlisberger was ruled out due to COVID-19.

Playing against the Detroit Lions, the 27-year-old signal-caller had a decent outing. He threw for 242 yards, one touchdown and an interception. The game ended in a 16-16 tie.
