Former Denver Broncos player Sam Martin has been without a girlfriend for quite some time. Dating rumors about the punter last made headlines in 2019.
At the time, many media outlets covered his relationship with former US gymnast and Olympic medalist Nastia Liukin.
The gymnast and the football player shared several romantic pictures of one another on their social media handle, making many think their relationship would go a long way.
Unfortunately, that didn’t happen, and the two quietly broke up after a while. Since then, Liukin has moved on with someone new, but Martin has yet to debut his new girl.
His dating life might be the last thing on Martin’s mind. The punter is focused on winning a Super Bowl ring with the Bills team.
Led by star quarterback and MVP contender Josh Allen, the Buffalo Bills will face their playoff rivals, Kansas City Chiefs, in the NFL Conference Championship.
The two teams have faced off against each other three times in the playoffs since 2020, with the Chiefs getting the best of the Bills in those three meetings.
So far, Martin has had a consistent season and played well against the Ravens in the tense NFL divisional round.
Martin punted three times for 150 yards and returned for 16. He hopes to make a solid impact against the Chiefs, who look forward to winning their third straight Super Bowl title.
Sam Martin and His Former Fiance Nastia Liukin Were Engaged for 3 Years!
Sam Martin and his former girlfriend Nastia Liukin started dating not long after the latter ended her engagement with hockey player Matt Lombardi.
Lombardi and Liukin were engaged for three years before their break up in 2018.
Two years after their breakup, Lombardi said he had no regrets over their relationship that he thought would end in a marriage.
Sam had never publicly discussed his relationship status before he began dating Nastia. He also had never shared photos of anyone special on his social media handle.
Sam went public with his relationship with Nastia in March 2019. The punter shared a gallery of images from their trip to Abu Dhabi. The two athletes soaked up the heat of the Arabian Desert and fed the camels.
The couple shared photos from their Fourth of July celebration four months after their UAE trip.
One of the photos shared by Liukin on her Instagram handle showed her kissing the NFL player in front of a pool.
Nastia has deleted those photos from her social media handle, but Martin has still kept those photos up on his.
In one of the photos shared by Martin, the punter is seen giving the gymnast a piggyback ride.
A few days after sharing those photos, the two athletes walked hand-in-hand on California’s 2019 ESPY Awards red carpet.
Liukin wore a black mini-dress, and Martin complimented her look in a black suit paired with a black tee.
That was the last time the fans saw the couple together. It was reported that the couple ended their relationship in 2020.
Sam and Nastia have never talked about each other since then and have never been pictured together after the breakup.
Who Is The Bills Punter Sam Martin Dating Now? Is He Engaged?
Since his breakup with Nastia in 2020, Sam doesn’t seem to have any interest in making his relationship status known publicly.
The footballer hasn’t been linked to other athletes after his breakup with Nastia Liukin.
Martin has shared several pictures with friends in the past few years on his Instagram handle, especially with his dog, Leo.
He has previously shared photos of Leo accompanying him on hikes and trips to the beach.
On December 17, 2020, Sam shared several pictures of his and Leo’s adventures throughout the years as he wished his Goldendoodle on its seventh birthday.
Martin captioned the post, “Happy Birthday to my food! Seven years of adventures. Mans best friend indeed, love ya buddy!“
If Sam Martin seems to be enjoying his bachelor life, Nastia has moved on with a new beau.
Liukin went Instagram official with Ben Weyand in April 2022. She shared several pictures of them cuddling up during their Costa Rica vacation.
Her new boyfriend doesn’t come from the same field as her. Ben Weyand works in finance and is the CFO of Robinson Helicopter Company.
He graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a finance degree and later earned his MBA from SMU Cox School of Business.
But rumors are swirling around that the two might’ve broken up as Liukin shared solo posts on Christmas.
So, there is a chance that Nastia and Sam might link up again in the future. Maybe a Super Bowl ring might help the case?
