Nick Bosa’s mom confirmed his relationship status with Lauren Maenner in October 2023

Nick Bosa and his girlfriend, Lauren Maenner, are enjoying a low-key relationship.

The first hint of a possible connection between the San Francisco 49ers defensive end and model surfaced in December 2022. Maenner posted photos with Nick’s mom, Cheryl Bosa, and Amanda Kassdikian — who’s dating Nick’s older brother, Los Angeles Chargers linebacker Joey Bosa — at an NFL game.

“Chargers are the second favorite team ok,” Maenner wrote on Instagram, alongside snaps of the three wearing Bosa attire.

While Nick and Maenner didn’t address their rumored romance at the time, Cheryl later confirmed her son’s relationship status in October 2023 when she posted a snap of Maenner and Kassdikian sporting matching 49ers shirts on Instagram. “I love my sons gfs!!!” she captioned it.

Since then, Maenner has been spotted at multiple 49ers games, showing her support for the defensive end from the stands. Throughout the 2024 Super Bowl, she posted photos and videos of herself in Las Vegas, where the Kansas City Chiefs won against the San Francisco 49ers.

So who is Nick Bosa’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Lauren Maenner and her relationship with the athlete.

She’s from Philadelphia

As a Philadelphia native, Maenner grew up cheering on the Eagles — that is, until she began dating Nick.

In December 2023, she attended the 49ers game against the Eagles, and although it was in her hometown, she was rooting for San Francisco.

Maenner shared photos on Instagram of her at the sports event, where she wrote a top with the defensive line’s No. 97 on the front.

“Haha this is awkward,” she captioned pictures of herself in the stands and on the sideline.

According to her social media, Maenner now lives in Los Angeles and works as a model. She’s represented by The Industry Model Management in L.A., along with NEXT Management in Miami and has posed for notable brands, like Bobbi Brown Cosmetics, Juicy Couture and SKIMS.

Nick also modeled for the Kim Kardashian shapewear brand. In October 2023, the NFL star went viral when he appeared in a campaign for SKIMS menswear.

While talking about his modeling experience with fellow NFL player Arik Armstead on his podcast, Third and Long, Nick admitted that it was “a little weird” for him. He explained that he wanted to use the offseason to push himself out of his comfort zone and said yes to Kardashian’s campaign.

Although he is “not used to” being in front of the camera, Nick said, “[It] definitely opens a lot of new avenues. … You don’t have this opportunity for very long, so may as well make the most of it.”

She also works in marketing and public relations

Along with her modeling career, Maenner is an influencer marketing manager for the apparel brand Revice Denim and an account manager for the public relations firm Ascend Agency, according to her LinkedIn.

She began exploring these career paths after graduating with a bachelor’s degree in public relations, advertising and applied communication from Temple University in Philadelphia.

In May of 2021, Maenner celebrated the educational milestone with a series of Instagram snaps and thanked her parents for encouraging her.

“Without their constant love and support I would not have this degree or the drive and ambition I have today,” she wrote in the caption, adding that she completed her degree “from across the country” but “you’ll always be home Philly.”

She and Nick began teasing their romance on social media in the summer of 2023

Nick and Maenner reportedly began posting about each other in the summer of 2023, according to the New York Post. The outlet shared that fans believed the model shared a photo with the athlete on Instagram in August, in which she hugs an unknown person.

Nick’s mom, Cheryl, then confirmed their romance in October of that same year when she referred to Maenner as his girlfriend in an Instagram post.

Cheryl first posted with Maenner on Instagram in October 2023 when they attended a 49ers game together, with the model donning a jean jacket emblazoned with the name “Bosa” on the back.

After Cheryl confirmed her son’s relationship with Maenner at the end of that month, she shared several photos of her and the Philadelphia native at football games.

While the two often cheer on the 49ers, they have also made trips to watch the L.A. Chargers.

She enjoys traveling

On social media, Maenner frequently shares pictures of her beach outings as well as trips to places like Paris, Spain and Italy.

Nick, on the other hand, prefers to stay in — at least during the football season. Speaking at a press conference in January of 2023, he described himself as a bit of a “hermit” when it comes to his social life.

“I sit on my couch, I fill my Game Ready machine with ice, and I prop my legs up and watch some shows,” he said, per NBC Sports. “And then I go to bed at 8:30, and I wake up and get to work.”
