During an interview with Giants offensive lineman, Jermaine Eleumunor, Adams jokingly addressed the issue with: "You gotta protect your boy, my boy, the world and internet thinks [is] my boy." At the end of the interview she added, "Go protect my boyfriend."

Recently, on "The 25/10 Show" podcast, Adams opened up about the issues of being a female sports reporter. She said that she's basically not allowed to stutter and that's how the rumors of her and Jones started.

Kay Adams said to co-hosts DeSean Jackson and LeSean McCoy:

"So basically, to answer your question about being a woman in sports, I'm not allowed to stutter... if I stutter, it's like, oh, she likes him. She wants to be with him. That's where that came from."

Despite the rumors, Adams confirmed during the podcast that in reality, the two are not dating. Jones is dating former Duke lacrosse star Ella Bonafede, while Kay Adams isn't publicly linked to dating anyone.
