Two-time U.S. Open champion Bryson DeChambeau and his girlfriend, model Mikayla Demaiter, are still going strong since the pair started dating earlier this year.
Us exclusively obtained a photo of the couple, with a source saying that the two are very happy together and “getting serious.”
The picture was snapped recently inside DeChambeau’s home in Texas. The insider said Demaiter, 26, was in town staying with the golf superstar and has been spotted regularly in the Lone Star State with DeChambeau, 33.
Things are progressing so well that the couple’s dogs are even friends now. The photo of the happy pair features DeChambeau’s German Shepherd, Bear, and Demaiter’s dog, Edward, posing alongside their loved-up owners.
Us exclusively broke the news that DeChambeau and Demaiter were dating in August.
“They are both pretty private when it comes to relationships,” said an insider at the time, who added that their relationship was fairly new.
Rumors about the pair began swirling earlier that month, when Demaiter was seen wearing a Crushers GC hat, the LIV team that DeChambeau captained, at LIV Golf New York.
Demaiter, a former goalie for the Bluewater Hawks in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, has amassed a huge following on social media since being forced to retire from the sport due to injury at 19. On Instagram alone, Demaiter has over 3 million followers.
Given LIV’s uncertain future, DeChambeau hopes the league is “given one more shot” to continue after wrapping up its latest season in August.
“It’s tough, it’s not easy,” DeChambeau told reporters after his opening round at LIV Golf Indianapolis. “We definitely have a lot against us.”
He added, “I hope people can see that we actually bring value to the game of golf. I think behind the scenes we’ve got a lot of people that are working hard to make this possible for not only all the players that are out here but all the fans that have come out to these events and the economic impact we’ve made on all these places.”
DeChambeau, who now calls himself a “content creator and professional golfer” on social media, launched “Bryson’s Backyard Games” on September 21, a 10-player elimination golf series filmed at his home, with a $100,000 prize. Golfer Chance Taylor was announced as the winner earlier this week.
In addition, DeChambeau celebrated his 33rd birthday in September with a social media post that was liked by Demaiter.
“Grateful for another year of life and feeling incredibly blessed,” he shared via Instagram. “Thank y’all for all the birthday wishes and continued support. Excited for everything this new year of life has in store!”
