No one can deny that Paige Spiranac shares a lot with her horde of followers online.
But there is at least one subject that will never be addressed on her social media feeds: Her dating life.
In a Q&A session with fans on Tuesday, the popular golf influencer revealed why she doesn’t share her personal life on social media, dating back to her marriage to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco.
“So, I was previously married,” Spiranac explained in her Instagram Story. “I got married young, and when it didn’t work out, I decided that I was never, ever, ever, ever going to share my personal life online ever again.
“Still, to this day, many years later, the amount of messages that I get that are horrible and harassing about a previous relationship, just really made up my mind that I was never going to publicly talk about that side of my life, friends or family, ever again.”
The former college champion golfer married Tinoco in 2018 but the couple split within the next four years – Spiranac hasn’t shared the cause or when it occurred, only that she’s “no longer married.”
The blond bombshell also said that she keeps her private life private to help protect her inner peace.
“More for my mental wellbeing and my sanity,” Spiranac continued in her Instagram Story. “I am so vulnerable online and I share so much about myself, I’m very open and honest, that I want to keep a little part of something to me and that is just what I have decided to do.”
She also explained that her decision isn’t designed to keep her many male followers engaged.

“I think people would assume that, ‘Oh, it’s cause guys follow you, and you don’t want to lose your audience,’ no, really, this is just to protect my sanity, and I just never want to go through that again. Because if you never put anything online, you never owe anyone an explanation,” she said.
Spiranac, who boasts more than 5 million followers online, made an appearance in the Netflix movie Happy Gilmore 2 — even getting to share a scene with star Adam Sandler.
“I got to shoot my scene with Adam Sandler and he is one of the most genuine, funny, kind, humble human beings that you forget he is Adam Sandler,” Spiranac raved about the leading man.
She also stole the show at the movie’s premiere, arriving in style, wearing an eye-catching red dress with a sheer skirt.
“The fact that I’m in the Happy Gilmore 2 movie is actually insane lol,” Spiranac wrote on X when the trailer was released.
In a clip from the movie, she’s seen working at a sporting goods store helping out Sandler’s character.
Spiranac was on the red carpet with actors including Sandler, Julie Bowen and Christopher McDonald at the Lincoln Center ahead of the film’s release last month.
