Danny Amendola is retiring from the NFL after 13 seasons. A two-time Super Bowl winner with the New England Patriots, the wide receiver also had stints with the St. Louis Rams, Miami Dolphins, and the Detroit Lions.
For fans keeping up with off-field gossip, Amendola has often made headlines for his love life. The wide receiver has been in an on-and-off relationship with singer and social media influencer Jean Watts since 2020. Watts, 29, is a singer and a social media influencer. She has over 750,000 followers on Instagram and is known for being a makeup expert.
Reports of Amendola dating Watts first broke in May 2020. It was rumored that Watts was staying with the former receiver during the COVID-19 lockdown. Since then, the couple have often been a talking point in the media, mainly due to incidents on social media.
Occurrences like removing pictures from their feeds and unfollowing each other on various social media platforms were a pretty common theme. There was speculation that the couple called it quits in November 2020. However, Watts ended those rumors by posting a story on Instagram confirming her relationship with Amendola.
In 2021, the couple were frequently spotted together, with Amendola featuring in several of Watts' posts on social media. In June 2021, Watts posted a picture of the couple partying with NFL stars Julian Edelman and Chas Gessner.
Earlier this year, Watts posted a message to her partner, celebrating their two-year anniversary. She wrote:
"2 years ago, today, I meet my best friend and we’ve have been inseparable since. Happy Anniversary."
The good news is that Danny Amendola's relationship with Watts seems to be going strong. Long may it continue.

"Wouldn’t have it any other way."
His longtime agent Erik Burkhardt tweeted:
"Beyond proud of my brother Danny Amendola on an incredible football career. He battled thru (through) the lowest NFL lows (cut several times early in his career) & reached the highest of highs. His respect in the League is unprecedented. Career pt. 2 will be even better..."
It will be interesting to see what career path Amendola chooses to take next.
