Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and actress Madelyn Cline made waves on social media after they were spotted together at Summer Smash music festival in Illinois this weekend.
Williams — who was at the center of breakup rumors with his high school sweetheart Alina Thyregod last month — and Cline were dancing in the same circle during Sexy Redd’s set Saturday at SeatGeek Stadium in Bridgeview, as seen in a social media video.
The former first overall pick by Chicago in the 2024 NFL Draft and the “Outer Banks” star, who appeared to be with a group of mutual friends, didn’t display any PDA together in the video.
Last month, Williams made headlines after he attended the star-studded F1 Miami Grand Prix weekend without Thyregod, which stirred buzz that the couple had split.
Around that time, Williams was in the news for an excerpt in Seth Wickersham’s new book, “American Kings: A Biography of the Quarterback,” which claims his father, Carl Williams “went to great lengths to try to circumvent” the [2024] NFL draft in order to give his son the freedom to choose where he wanted to begin his pro career.
The younger Williams later addressed the book and emphasized his commitment to the organization, saying “I love being here.”
Thyregod seemingly removed any trace of Williams from her social media.
Williams has yet to address the rumors about their relationship.
The former USC quarterback commemorated the couple’s one-year anniversary last October — six months after their red carpet debut at the 2024 NFL Draft in Detroit.
It was their first public appearance together, despite Williams posting her on his social media in late 2023.
Williams enjoyed his first NFL offseason before Ben Johnson’s inaugural season as head coach.
Rookies reported to Halas Hall for training camp last Friday, while veterans arrived on Sunday.
Williams showed flashes last season, despite being sacked a league-high 68 times and the team finishing 5-12.
In 2024, he completed 62.5 percent of his passes with 20 touchdown passes and six interceptions.
The Bears open the 2025 season against the Vikings in Chicago on Sept. 8.
