‘Wanted nothing to do with me’

Paige Spiranac spilled the tea about her personal life.

During a recent episode of her new show “The SPINvitational,” the golf influencer shared a story about having a crush on PGA Tour star Xander Schauffele when they were both students at San Diego State University. However, she mentioned that things didn’t turn out the way she had hoped.

She mentioned, “I did go to school at SDSU with Xander Schauffele and another fun fact is I had a crush on him and he wanted nothing to do with me. He met his wife Maya at SDSU so it was meant to be. Didn’t work out for me in that way.”

A native of San Diego, Schauffele and Maya met at SDSU in 2014 and married in 2021.

Spiranac was an open book on her live slots and casino show, which involved her talking to the audience during the games.

In addition to this revelation, the influencer addressed some public misconceptions about her personal life. She clarified that rumors of her dating various pro athletes, such as retired NFL quarterback Tom Brady and LIV Golf star Bryson DeChambeau, were untrue.

“Never been on a date with anyone famous,” said Spiranac, who tends to stay private about who she’s dating. “I’ve had pro athletes or famous people slide in my DMs. I’ve never dated anyone famous. It’s funny because I’ll see all these headlines. There was one where I shot content with Bryson and then a headline said I was dating ‘(‘him]. Tom Brady was one of them, which was so crazy.

“It’s like any time I shoot content with a male celebrity, that’s the headline or all of the comments, which can be really difficult for my job where I work in a male-dominated industry… It’s really frustrating because I’ve never dated anyone famous ever, not even close.”

Spiranac went on to explain that she suffers from “severe social anxiety.”

“I’m very much the opposite of the person I am online,” she said. “I always say it’s my alter-ego. I think that’s another misconception that I’m outgoing and a party girl because of my image online. I have severe social anxiety. It’s funny that I’m doing what I’m doing now.”

Spiranac was previously married to athletic trainer Steven Tinoco.

Though it’s unclear when Spiranac and Tinoco split, she said during an Instagram Q&A in 2022 that she’s “no longer married.”

Spiranac and Tinoco wed in 2018 after she “met him at the start of [her]  career,” she told The Post in June 2020.
