All About Danny Amendola’s Girlfriend & Relationship History
Danny Amendola is stepping into the Dancing With the Stars ballroom once again for Super Bowl Night on October 13. The two-time Super Bowl champion competed on Season 33 of DWTS in 2024 and returns two years later alongside other former NFL contestants.
With Amendola back in the spotlight, it’s time for a romance rundown. The former pro athlete has been dating girlfriend Grace Montgomery for about a year, and he previously underwent a very public breakup with Olivia Culpo. Scroll down for more about his relationship history.
Who is Grace Montgomery?
Little is known about Montgomery, who is a social media influencer. Amid her relationship with Amendola, she has made her Instagram private.
The pair went public with their relationship in November 2025 when Montgomery posted a carousel of photos with Amendola for his birthday. “Happy birthday to the best! Love you,” she captioned the post. It’s unclear how long they were together before the hard-launch.
What is the age difference between Danny Amendola and Grace Montgomery?
There is reportedly a 19-year age difference between Amendola and Montgomery. He was born in November 1985 and will turn 41 next month, while she was reportedly 21 years old when they started dating in 2025.
Why did Olivia Culpo and Danny Amendola split?
Amendola dated model Olivia Culpo on and off from 2016 to 2019. They first split in 2018 after he was traded to the Miami Dolphins, and Culpo reportedly wasn’t willing to move to Florida.
However, they eventually reconciled later that year and were together on and off before breaking up for good in April 2019. The split came after Culpo was spotted hanging out with Zedd, and Amendola called her out online for it.

In a now-deleted Instagram post, Amendola said Culpo’s desire to live a very public life was a “fundamental difference” between the two.
“Olivia chooses and wants to be noticed on the internet and in Hollywood to make money,” he wrote. “Which was hard for me to understand but quickly had to learn. [Whereas] the cost of fame in this world doesn’t appeal to me. I play ball for one reason and that’s RESPECT.”
He acknowledged that some of the issues were his fault and noted that he could “be an idiot” sometimes, but added, “She’s f**ked up too! And if you cross me I’m a hard mfer to deal with.”
Amendola concluded by referencing the Zedd sighting: “Reading all these wild stories about her and I, and Olivia with other men, I just wanted to personally clear the air out here. We’ve been on and off for a long time and not together as of late! Not sure what’s in the future but the only thing I care about is her HAPPINESS. And if that’s dancing with scrony [sic] little f**ks, so be it. I’m happy too.”
Who else has Danny Amendola dated?
During his DWTS tenure, Amendola was rumored to be dating influencer and DJ Xandra Pohl. After they were spotted together in summer 2024, she showed up to the DWTS ballroom to support him later that year. However, Amendola confirmed their relationship was strictly platonic.
“Xandra is a great friend of mine,” he said. “I’m a huge fan and supporter of her and it’s good to have a friend like her.”
From 2020 to 2023, Amendola dated Jean Watts, a singer. He was also briefly linked to Bianca Peters during his 2018 split from Culpo.
