A long-running on-field rivalry has picked up a tongue-in-cheek off-field subplot after dating speculation linked the same model to stars from both the Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears.
Online chatter this week has centred on model and influencer Ash Kaashh, who has been linked to Josh Jacobs just weeks after appearing alongside Caleb Williams, the Bears’ franchise quarterback.
None of the parties involved have confirmed a relationship. Still, that has not stopped fans from joining the dots.
Josh Jacobs sets tongues wagging
The latest round of speculation began after Jacobs shared a short Snapchat clip from a tropical getaway. The video briefly showed a woman walking nearby, with her face appearing only for a moment.
Internet sleuths quickly went to work. Some pointed to a purple swimsuit worn by the woman, which appeared similar to one featured in recent Instagram posts by Ash Kaashh.
Others noted a colourful shoulder tattoo in the clip that closely resembles body art visible in her own photos.
The quick glimpses were enough to ignite speculation, particularly given the historical rivalry between both players’ teams. Jacobs has not addressed the speculation, and neither has Kaashh.
From a football perspective, Jacobs and Williams find themselves on opposite sides of the NFC North divide. Chicago beat Green Bay twice this season, including a dramatic wild-card victory that ended the Packers’ NFL playoff run.
The Caleb Williams link
The intrigue carries extra weight because Kaashh had already been linked to Williams earlier in the season. She attended a Bears game at Soldier Field in December, where she was photographed making a “bear claw” gesture that fuelled online chatter.
That speculation faded in recent weeks, but the resurfacing of Kaashh’s name alongside a Packers player has reopened the conversation, this time with a rivalry twist.
Williams, the Bears’ first overall pick in 2024, recently completed his first postseason run under head coach Ben Johnson. Chicago reached the divisional round before falling to the Rams in overtime.
