NASCAR’s William Byron Sparks Romance Rumors with Erin Blaney on Instagram
Fan speculation ignites as ex-couple’s social media activity suggests a possible rekindling
NASCAR fans are buzzing with speculation as driver William Byron‘s ex-girlfriend, Erin Blaney, has seemingly reintroduced old photos of them together on her Instagram. This social media move has ignited hopes for a reunion among many who cherished their past relationship.
Subtle Social Media Signals
A keen-eyed fan on Reddit noted that **Erin Blaney** had rearranged her Instagram story highlights, placing an older picture of herself and **William Byron** prominently in the “Cheesin'” collection. This album reportedly features cherished memories, including moments from Victory Lane and personal date nights.
The move comes after a period of apparent separation, marked by unfollowing each other on social media in the spring of 2024. **Byron**’s solo attendance at the 2024 NASCAR Awards and his absence from **Ryan Blaney**’s December 2024 wedding further fueled breakup rumors.
A History of Shared Moments
The relationship between **William Byron** and **Erin Blaney**, sister of fellow NASCAR driver **Ryan Blaney**, was once a well-loved storyline. **Ryan Blaney** himself confirmed his unawareness of their initial romance in 2019, but he later blessed their union. The couple frequently appeared together, celebrating victories and sharing lighthearted moments.
Despite the apparent end to their relationship earlier this year, fans are clinging to these new digital breadcrumbs. “They were always adorable together,” one fan commented, expressing a desire for a mature reconciliation. “I hope they’ve both matured and figured out how to work through the issues they had.”
Cautious Optimism Amidst Past Setbacks
**William Byron** remains a dominant force on the track, currently leading the points standings despite his last win being the Daytona 500. His consistent performance, with 11 top-tens and 7 top-fives this season, keeps him a fan favorite.
However, recent events have cast a shadow of doubt on any potential reconciliation. Following his Daytona 500 victory, **Byron** reacted positively to a parody account pairing him with pop star **Sabrina Carpenter**. Additionally, **Erin Blaney** shared a reflective post in May about finding peace and clarity.
