Haley Graves, 24, a sports reporter in Los Angeles, has been dating Rams wide receiver Josh Reynolds since they were both students at Texas A&M University.
The couple has been dating since at least 2016, based on Graves’ Instagram posts. Graves and Reynolds appear to have met through Aggie football.
Reynolds played in College Station before entering the NFL draft in 2017, where he was picked by the Rams in the fourth round. Graves was a sideline reporter for AggieFBLife on YouTube and first interviewed Reynolds for the channel in 2015. But it’s likely they met earlier than that; Graves was an Aggie cheerleader from 2012-2014.
