Sean Murphy Buntingthe cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals and one of the NFL’s brightest young stars, has recently been at the center of bubbling Internet rumors. The Super Bowl-winning Tampa Bay Buccaneers turned heads on and off the field, but this time his recent surge in popularity is thanks to a very different incident involving a social media influencer Bobbi Althoff.

Sean Murphy-Bunting ends dating speculation with Bobbi Althoff

Bobbi Althoff rose to fame for her eccentric interviews on The Really Good Podcast and then retreated from public life due to personal issues, including her divorce from Cory Althoff earlier this year. While it has avoided cleaning jets and blurry videos, it has made people curious again. The video appeared to imply a romantic relationship between Althoff and an unnamed NFL player, prompting netizens to theorize about Murphy bunting.
This post on TikTok showed a clip of Althoff in an intimate moment with a bearded African American man shared by user @amandachristine_1, sparking much speculation as to whether the “mystery man” was actually Murphy-Bunting. Murphy-Bunting’s previous dealings with Althoff have only fueled speculation. In July, in a now-famous incident, he was caught carrying Althoff out of Barstool Sports Bar in Nashville after she appeared to lose consciousness.
When speculation began, Murphy-Bunting quickly denied being the person featured in the TikTok clip. Another name mentioned as a possible candidate was Cedric Ogbuehi, former offensive tackle for the New York Jets, but he didn’t hesitate to dismiss the rumor and also said that Murphy-Bunting wasn’t involved either. Althoff’s cheeky reply with six exclamation points in response to Ogbuehi’s comment further confused followers, adding another twist to the ongoing drama.

Addressing the incident during an interview with Arizona Sports 98.7 FMMurphy-Bunting explained: “It was really just about helping a friend in a situation where I felt like she needed help. Clearly it was just having fun outside and reading in the room. I just felt like things weren’t right and I just wanted to make sure she got home safely.
Althoff later thanked him via Instagram, saying, “Last night was scary, but I’m grateful I had good friends in my life like @seanmurphybunting who looked out for me.” Although that moment captured the essence of Murphy -Bunting’s character was also seen as a source of dating gossip.
At the moment, there is no clear evidence linking Murphy-Bunting or Ogbuehi to the video, while netizens will continue to speculate endlessly. There’s no danger of the rumor mill slowing down, but as far as Murphy-Bunting is concerned, the business has football and leaves the gossip behind.
