Katie Lou Samuelson's Valentine's Day answer had blown up on social media

Earlier this February, during the inaugural season of Unrivaled, players were asked light-hearted Valentine’s Day-themed questions by media personnel from The Dan Le Batard Show with Stugotz. During this interview, Katie Lou Samuelson gave an unexpected response when asked who would make the "worst Valentine."

“Maybe myself because my only Valentine, right now, is my daughter,” the Phantom B.C. player said.

It is possible that Samuelson's comments meant that her daughter was her only physical Valentine, as Cannady was playing in Greece at that point.

While fans were in awe of Samuelson’s answer, many others couldn’t help but notice the obvious—no mention of her husband, Devin Cannady. This sparked concern among some followers, who began speculating about the state of their relationship.

Samuelson briefly deactivated her Instagram account following the interview. Meanwhile, Cannady switched his account to private, making things even more worrisome.

However, with the anniversary posts, it looks like fans were just unnecessarily worried about the couple.
