With J.J. Watt on the injured reserve with a back injury, what else is there to report on the Houston Texans’ star defensive end than his dating life.

We found out more about Watt’s dating life recently thanks to his new girlfriend. That lucky lady is Kealia Ohai of the Houston Dash of the National Women’s Soccer League. Ohai is also the sister-in-law of Texans linebacker Brian Cushing. She was the one who spilled the beans on this news:

“The rumors are true. We are dating,” Ohai said recently on the 2 Up Front Podcast. “I’ve known J.J. for a really long time, and we’ve always been really great friends, and yeah, I’m really proud of him for everything he’s been going through, but it’s been pretty crazy with all the rumors.”

Ohai recently made her debut for the U.S. Women’s National Team, and set the record for fastest goal scored in a USWNT debut:

So, if you didn’t hear much about Ohai before, you likely will now given her rising soccer success, and with her being the girlfriend of one of the NFL’s top stars.
