Who is Bryn Renner the husband of Amanda Balionis and are they still married or divorced as she’s spotted without her wedding ring
On the other hand, Balionis no longer goes by her marital last name on social media, and she has been spotted at recent golf tournaments without her wedding band.
Renner’s name is becoming more well-known as rumours of a possible affair between McIlroy and Balionis get more intense.
The 38-year-old reporter had married former North Carolina quarterback Bryn Renner in 2022 but fans began to notice in February that Balionis was no longer wearing her wedding or engagement rings. However, she has been spotted without her wedding rings earlier as well so this can’t be conclusive evidence towards her being seperated.
However, divorce theories were further fanned as after getting married, Balionis changed her name in her social media profiles to “Amanda Balionis Renner.” Her X and Instagram profiles now call her “Amanda Balionis.” Both Amanda and Bryn are yet to comment on the seperation rumors officially.
Amid all this, let us have a look at who the sports journalist’s estranged husband Bryn Renner is. The two started dating back in 2019 and two years after knowing each other, they got engaged in 2021, one year before their wedding.
