One of the most popular figures in golf is Paige Spiranac.
With millions of social media followers, the former collegiate and professional golfer is more popular than almost everyone in the golf community, with the possible exception of Tiger Woods. Spiranac, 32, has a large following on YouTube, X, and TikTok, in addition to over 4 million Instagram followers.
Spiranac doesn’t really talk about her personal life online, though.
In a TikTok video, Spiranac responded to a fan who had criticised her for not being married and having children.
Spiranac opened up on social media. She revealed that she was married in the past, but got divorced. She still receives harassment from fans about her ex-husband. Spiranac does not want that to happen in the future.
“I just realized that if you never put anything out there, you never owe anyone an explanation,” said Spiranac, who was previously married but later divorced.
Spiranac shot down a theory that she avoids talking about her personal life because she has a male-dominated audience. Some believe that many fans would unfollow her if they knew she was dating someone.
“That’s not the truth,” she said. “I have so many supportive people who follow me. I think a lot of people would be really excited if I got married, or if I decided to have children. And that’s not the reason why I don’t talk about it.
“I’ve just always wanted to keep a section of me to myself.”
Spiranac has made it clear that if she does get married or have children one day, she won’t be posting them – not in her current mindset, anyway.
“To me, I just want that to be separate. And that’s special to me.”
