Kay Adams responds to wild Daniel Jones dating rumors
Kay Adams has denied rumors of a relationship between her and New York Giants quarterback Daniel Jones.
The 38-year-old Up and Adams host and the 27-year-old Giants star have been the subject of dating rumors among fans who speculated about a spark during their interviews.
However, in a recent appearance on the 25/10 Show, Adams admitted that while she respects Jones as a person and an athlete, their romance is nothing more than fan fiction.
“I’m not dating Daniel Jones — breaking, breaking news,” Adams told hosts LeSean McCoy and DeSean Jackson. “I’ve only met him twice, wish him well. I’m pretty sure he has a girlfriend.”
Before the Giants’ dismal 0-2 start, Adams spent time with Jones in training camp.

During an interview, Adams appeared to slur her words while speaking to Jones. The apparent stutter sent social media into a tailspin as fans began speculating.
“Where does that come from?” Adams added. “To be a woman in sports, I’m not allowed to stutter. That’s it.”
“When I stutter, it’s like, ‘Ooh, she likes him. She wants to be with him.’ That’s where it comes from.”
The former Good Morning Football host also responded to the rumors on her show earlier this month, calling Jones her “boy,” but denying the rumors.
‘You have to protect your boy, my boy, the world and the internet think [he’s] “My boy,” Adams said to Giants forward Jermaine Eluemunor as they discussed their game plan against the Vikings.

During the 10/25 episode, McCoy, who played against the Giants early in his career, took a light dig at his former rivals.
“We can say this today on the ’10/25 Show,’ she made it clear, they’re not in a relationship, right? Besides, you know you love winning quarterbacks,” the ex-running back joked.
Jones was sacked five times in New York’s season opener against Minnesota. Although he improved in Week 2, completing 16 of 28 attempts for two touchdowns, the Giants still lost to the Commanders 21-18.
The unsettled start led to Giants fans setting Jones’ jersey on fire outside MetLife Stadium.
Jones is halfway through his four-year, $160 million contract extension and will try to lead New York to its first win of the season on Sunday against the Browns.
