Those who were either taken aback or appalled at the video of Texans rookie quarterback leaving the Cactus Jack Celebrity softball game at Minute Maid Park with stripper-turned-rapper Amber Rose can breathe a sigh of relief.
Rose has confirmed that she and the Texans rookie sensation are not dating. The two had apparently just met the day of the game.
“We literally don’t know each other and only met yesterday at a softball game,” Rose wrote via her Instagram Story on February 16. “The sprinter [van]left me and he was nice enough to give me a ride to my hotel.”
Even Stroud’s mother, Kim Stroud, chimed in to squash the rumors.
There were social media posts following their exit together expressing concern Rose, 40, could ruin 22-year-old Stroud’s clean-cut and God-fearing reputation and perhaps worse, hinder his career that has started off so brilliantly.
But there was always the belief that the respectful Stroud was simply giving Rose a lift after both attended Travis Scott’s nonprofit charity game. Stroud, who recently won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year, also was awarded MVP honors following last week’s celebrity softball game. The next day, Stroud caught a flight to Indianapolis, where he participated in the NBA’s Celebrity Game during All-Star Weekend.
Meanwhile, there was concern that Stroud might possibly be involved with Rose, who as we know has been linked to many celebrities over the years. The list includes former Rocket James Harden, Kanye West and Wiz Khalifa.
