HOUSTON – It looks like the dating rumors are true - J.J. Watt has a girlfriend. Houston Dash star forward Kealia Ohai, who is also the sister-in-law of Watt's teammate Brian Cushing, confirmed that she and the Houston Texans star are an item.
Ohai confirmed their relationship in early October on the 2 Up Front podcast.
"The rumors are true. We are dating," Ohai said. "I've known J.J. for a really long time, and we've always been great friends, and yeah, I'm really proud of him for everything he's been going through, but it's been pretty crazy with all the rumors."

It appears Watt has a thing for athletes. Watt was rumored to be dating tennis star Caroline Wozniacki last year when they were spotted at the NCAA championship game between Duke and Wisconsin.
Watt was also linked to UFC fighter Paige VanZant in April.
The dating rumors between Watt and Ohai had been going on for a while. In June, they were both seen getting frozen yogurt together in Houston.
Ohai was named the team's MVP in 2015 for the Dash and the Player's Player of the Year.
