Despite rumors about her relationships with various personalities, television host Michelle Beadle seems to be single and unmarried as of 2024.
Born on October 23, 1975, Michelle Denise Beadle is an American sports reporter and host.
Beadle, a San Antonio Spurs broadcaster, previously was the co-host of ESPN‘s morning sports show Get Up! besides Jalen Rose and Mike Greenberg.
Similarly, she also co-hosted the SportsNation on ESPN2 and Winners Bracket on ABC with Marcellus Wiley.
Michelle Beadle Has Only One Confirmed Relationship In Her entire Career!
As of 2024, beloved American sports reporter and host Michelle Beadle is unmarried.
Despite her well-documented career, Beadle has kept her personal life far from the spotlight.
Almost all public discussions regarding her are around her professional life, convictions, and interactions with athletes and industry professionals.
Moreover, Beadle prioritizes her career over personal relationships.
Nevertheless, around 2011, there were rumors that she was seeing Matthew Barnaby, an ESPN hockey analyst.
According to one Reddit post, Beadle allegedly “went out on about a half-dozen dates” with broadcaster Michael Kay, who was already married to journalist Jodi Applegate.
Similarly, in 2016, she tweeted about going on a date with rapper Locs_n_Laughs.

However, considering her dedication to her career, it appears that Beadle never had a committed relationship.
While she did have a public relationship with Steve Kazee, the two eventually broke up in 2016.
Their romance, however, was not extensively chronicled since the pair preferred to keep it private.
The pair occasionally appeared together, notably at the San Antonio Spurs vs Los Angeles Clippers game on May 2, 2015, at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California.
After their brief relationship, Kazee confirmed his relationship with fellow actress Jenna Deewan.
However, his romantic relationship with Deewan is more famous than with the ESPN reporter.
Additionally, he and Jenna welcomed two children together and remain happily together.
Michelle and Steve appear to have had a casual dating scenario rather than a serious relationship.
Following the breakup, neither party shared extensive details about the reasons for their split and have since moved on with their lives.
Despite Rumors About Their Marriage, Michelle Beadle and Paul Pierce Maintain a Good Friendship!
There were also rumors about Michelle and her co-worker, Paul Pierce. They had worked together on ESPN‘s Get Up! for a year.
However, the two only appeared briefly on that show. While Beadle secretly negotiated a contract buyout with the network, Pierce received a firing in 2021 after streaming an improper Instagram live showing women in swimsuits, liquor, and marijuana.

Beadle and Pierce are good friends, and she even stood behind him after ESPN fired him.
However, some netizens misinterpreted their friendship and began circulating false rumors about their impending marriage.

An X user asked Beadle whether she was going to marry Pierce, to which she replied, “Not that I know of.“
The original poster tagged Pierce in the post, and he charmingly responded: “Whaaaaat I thought we were.”
Hence, Paul and Michelle are not going to marry. Moreover, Paul is a divorcee and shares three children with his ex-wife, Julie Landrum.
