Who is Alina Thyregod? Everything to know about Caleb Williams’ rumored ex-girlfriend

The Chicago Bears began their 2025 NFL season against the Minnesota Vikings on Monday Night Football, with second-year quarterback Caleb Williams back under center after a tough rookie season.

Williams, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has a new head coach in Ben Johnson and a stronger offensive line backing him this year. But off the field, one thing seems different — he appears to be single.

When the Bears drafted Williams, he was reportedly dating model and production designer Alina Thyregod. The two met while attending Gonzaga College High School and marked their one-year anniversary in October 2024. At the time, Williams shared a photo of her on Instagram Stories saying, “Been a good year with this one,” while Thyregod posted a picture of them in Bears gear with heart emojis.

However, the couple hasn’t been seen together publicly in recent months. Fueling rumors of a breakup, Williams was seen dancing with actress Madelyn Cline at a music festival in June, while Thyregod spent her summer traveling across Europe, sharing photos from Copenhagen, Florence, and Montenegro.

Though they still follow each other on Instagram, there’s no recent sign of the two being together. Thyregod, once seen in custom Williams merch on the sidelines, hasn’t been spotted at Bears games and shared a post just before the season opener with the caption, “10/10 sommer 🩵” — with no sign of Williams in the pictures.

Who is Alina Thyregod?

Alina Thyregod is a model and production designer who gained attention during Caleb Williams’ rise to NFL fame. The two met in high school at Gonzaga College High in Washington, D.C., and kept their relationship mostly private.

Thyregod marked her one-year anniversary with Williams in October 2024 with a sweet Instagram post showing the couple in Chicago Bears shirts. Though not heavily in the public eye, she had around 12,800 Instagram followers and occasionally shared glimpses of their relationship.

Now, with no recent photos together and different summer paths, it appears the pair may have quietly split — just as Williams enters a new chapter with the Bears
