Weston McKennie Girlfriend & Dating History as World Cup 2026 Heats Up

Weston McKennie is a men's soccer star who is competing for the United States in the World Cup 2026. As he is one of the critical players for the United States, that has many fans wondering about his girlfriend and dating history.

Does McKennie have a girlfriend? It appears that he is single. In the past, he has been linked to two models who are Instagram influencers, but one of them denied dating him, and the other connection, with the sister of player Davide Frattesi, appeared to be short-lived.

McKennie did possibly have a girlfriend in 2024, according to Daily Mail. But it does not appear that this relationship, if it ever was one, was long-lived.

Inter Milan midfielder Davide Frattesi's sister, Chiara, then 22, "has seemingly appeared to confirm that she is dating Juventus star Weston McKennie," Daily Mail reported, noting that she "posted a picture of the pair on social media, celebrating Juventus' Coppa Italia victory."

She added a heart emoji to the post and the two "were seen smiling and hugging," Daily Mail added. According to Daily Mail, at another point, Chiara sent fans hunting for clues when she "appeared to post two pictures of herself and a husky on Instagram, with the outlet speculating that the dogs belonged to McKennie." That was never confirmed either, and McKennie's romantic life remains somewhat mysterious.

An Italian-language news site fueled the rumors, saying that Chiara Frattesi, a model, had left clues on social media about a possible romance. Chiara has given no hint of any romance with McKennie now, though, posting glamour and bikini shots on Instagram in the lead up to the World Cup 2026, so it's not clear what happened with it all. In fact, she was soon linked to the Italian rapper Geolier instead.

Weston McKennie Was Also Linked to Violetta Bert, But She Denied They Were Dating

In January 2025, Goal.com reported that Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk "has reportedly been dumped by Violetta Bert," a model who was possibly linked to him romantically.

Instead, "McKennie has been spending plenty of time in Bert's company. Both have posted pictures on social media of a winter holiday being enjoyed at an exclusive French ski resort," wrote Goal.com.

With the World Cup 2026 looming, though, Bert was posting glamour shots from the Grand Prix in Monaco. There is no sign of McKennie on her Instagram page.

According to AS, although McKennie "was briefly linked with Russian model Violetta Bert, with the two spending time together at a French ski resort in 2025," Bert "later denied dating McKennie, and that was that."

The site reports that McKennie's current dating situation is not clear. It appears that he prefers to keep his private life just that, in contrast to some of his teammates, like Christian Pulisic, who has opened up about a past girlfriend after a messy breakup.
