The press conference made things worse before it made them better.
Clips went viral within hours—particularly the moment Dante defended their relationship, the way he called out invasive questions, the firm boundaries he set with reporters who wanted to treat his personal life as public property.
Twitter exploded with opinions, hot takes, and think pieces that multiplied faster than either of them could track.
"He's in love, leave him alone."
"This is what happens when athletes let emotions override logic."
"The way he looked at Adrian in that room—that's real love."
"He's going to regret this in five years."
"Choosing a college boyfriend over a professional career is literally insane."
"Finally, an athlete who prioritizes mental health and relationships over money."
Dante made the mistake of reading the comments.
