Gia Duddy Vents About Cincinnati WAG Life: ‘B****, I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio. You’re going to Miami?’

Gia Duddy revealed that her life as an NFL girlfriend in Cincinnati could sometimes be lonely, an aspect of her life that seldom appears on social media.

The 25-year-old influencer is allegedly dating Andrei Iosivas, a wide receiver for the Cincinnati Bengals team. Speaking from her car on TikTok, she described how she feels about losing some of her closest friends because of the NFL’s roster moves that sent them elsewhere.

“B****, I’m in Cincinnati, Ohio. You’re going to Miami? Bring me with you,” Duddy said while making animated gestures as she talked about her Ohio environment in comparison to the Miami city.

Duddy described the struggle as part of WAG life, a term for the wives and girlfriends of professional athletes.

“The part of the WAG life that nobody talks about that isn’t as glamorous is when the men get traded literally on the top of a hat, and all of a sudden you lose friends,” she said. “Like, I swear to God, my four closest friends, every single one of them are gone from preseason to now.”

However, she assured that despite losing some of her friends, she is not entirely alone in the city.

“I’d like to say I’m all alone, but I’m not all alone. I have a lot of, like, I still have so many great friends here, but I’m like mourning, and my boyfriend’s going to Miami. B****, I’m in Cincinnati,” she said.

She immediately apologized for the jab at Cincinnati.

“Oh, I know you’re going to break me with… no, I’m kidding. I love it here. I’ll be here, but thanks for being a little sad today,” Duddy added.

Duddy first gained popularity during the 2023 NFL Draft, where TV cameras kept showing her in the green room with her boyfriend, Will Levis, the quarterback for the Kentucky team. Levis was selected 33rd overall by the Tennessee Titans, becoming the first pick in the second round.

Duddy and Levis started dating at Penn State. They broke up in 2023. Levis, 27, won five of his 21 starts for Tennessee before the team waived him at the end of the preseason. The New York Jets later signed him to their practice squad on September 22.

Duddy’s romance with Iosivas first gained traction in August, when she posted a video from a Bengals practice showing Iosivas catching a pass. In September, she officially confirmed their relationship via Instagram stories.

Iosivas is a Princeton product and was selected in the sixth round of the 2023 NFL Draft by the Cincinnati team. It is his fourth year with the team, and he recently underwent surgery for a torn ligament in his thumb, after which he was placed on injured reserve.

Duddy has not spared Cincinnati’s coffee shops either. In one of her recent TikTok videos, she described how the best shop she visited turned out to be just okay.

“Cincinnati folk, I need you to listen up because we have some beef,” Duddy said. “I was recommended to go to a coffee shop, and I’m not gonna out the coffee shop. Um, so we don’t do that here. But it. Everyone was like, ‘This is the best coffee shop in Cincinnati.'”

Duddy, who didn’t mention the shop she visited, critiqued her order.

“Um, first, I know this isn’t coffee. The matcha, you can’t really see it as much. It’s, like, yellow. Okay,” she said. “Um, and then the coffee, I got two because I needed to, like, taste them all. Um, the coffee is fine. It’s not the best coffee shop.”

She then described two other local shops as better than the one she mentioned for coffee.

“I would say, right now, Continuum mogs this on the latte scale and Cinsei matcha mogs this on the matcha scale,” Duddy said.

She then asked her viewers to recommend the best shops in the Cincinnati and Kentucky areas.

“So what are actually the best coffee shops in the Cincinnati, Kentucky area? Um, because I need to try them all. I do,” she said. “Um, and I would love, like, if it’s a very, like, artisanal type of coffee shop. Like, I want them to be, like, really owning their craft. Like, let me know in the comments.”

Duddy hinted that she might turn the search into a series.
