Johnny’s relationships have also been closely followed by his fans. Most recently, he’s been romantically linked to model Kenzie Werner. HollywoodLife has gathered details about his relationship with Kenzie and his past romances for you here!
Kenzie Werner
Kenzie is a Houston-based model and influencer. She has over 49,000 followers on her Instagram account. In her bio, she claims to be a “microblading artist.” She also has a link to a pizzeria and beer garden that she appears to work at. She regularly shares photos of her very stylish looks.
Johnny and Kenzie first sparked romance rumors when they were seen partying in Miami back in April 2022, per The New York Post. That same month, the football player shared a since-deleted photo of the two of them, seeming to confirm their romance.
The two of them did run into some controversy shortly after going public. Kenzie shared photos of herself with injuries, including bruising on her breast, blood on her nose, and marks on her eyes on Instagram. The caption made it sound like she was a victim of domestic abuse, caused by Johnny, but she later clarified that she’d been hacked, according to The New York Post. “Was hacked last night. Just got my account back,” she wrote. “Please disregard what was posted. It isn’t as it seems.”
A rep for Kenzie later explained that the photos had nothing to do with Johnny to TMZ. He said that he had never abused her. She reportedly got the injuries after she was hit with a falling champagne bottle.
Bre Tiesi
Before his relationship with Kenzie, Johnny was briefly married to model and Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi. The couple got engaged in March 2017 and married a year later. Unfortunately, after about a year of marriage, the pair called it quits. Johnny said the split was “very sad” and “very personal” in a statement to TMZ. “I appreciate everyone who has been so supportive of both of us and I would just ask that everyone respect our privacy at this difficult time,” he said. “My hope is to put my head down and be allowed to focus on work and what is required of me on the football field.”
The couple’s divorce was finalized in November 2021, and Bre celebrated with a party with her girlfriends, per People. “Thanks to all my girls for the craziest divorce party. No shade to J, wish you nothing but the best, love ya,” she wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
Since the split, Bre has gone on to lots of big things. She has become a cast member on the popular Netflix reality series Selling Sunset. She also has a son Legendary Love with Wild N’ Out star Nick Cannon.
Colleen Crowley
One of Johnny’s first high profile relationships was with his ex Colleen Crowley, who he started dating in 2014. The NFL player’s relationship with Colleen became very public when he was indicted on misdemeanor assault charges in 2016, relating to an alleged domestic violence inscident. Dallas police announced that they were investigating the incident in February 2016, per Bleacher Report. Her attorney claimed that Johnny hit her and ruptured her eardrum. He was indicted in April 2016, per CNN.
Amid the legal troubles, Johnny reportedly reached a plea deal where he would avoid jail time. Instead, he was ordered to undergo counseling for a year, according to Bleacher Report. Two years after the incident, Colleen opened up about the incident in an interview with The New York Post. “I was lucky to have survived,” she said. “I fought for my life that night.”
Lauren Hanley
Before his NFL career, Johnny was briefly linked to model Lauren Hanley. While he was a student at Texas A&M, he was seen out partying with the blonde beauty on a few occasions, per TMZ. While they were seen on a few occasions, not many details are known about their relationship.
