Alina Thyregod, the longtime girlfriend of football star Caleb Williams, made her first public appearance with him at the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

The couple, who kept their relationship private for years, shared their love story ahead of the high-profile event where Williams is expected to be a top pick.

Who Is Alina Thyregod?

Alina, 23, was born in Denmark but moved to the United States as a child. She met Caleb while both were students at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C. Though they briefly dated in their teens, they stayed friends for years before rekindling their romance.

“We dated a little back then, stayed close, and got back together later,” Caleb said in a recent interview. Until now, he referred to Alina only as his “lady” to protect their privacy. Before Alina, Caleb dated Valery Orellana, but the pair split quietly.

The draft is expected to boost Green Bay’s economy through tourism and sponsorships.

Alina’s Supportive Role
