NFL influencer Peighton Tubre is setting the record straight after viral rumors falsely linked her to LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, who is engaged. 

The Louisiana-based sports content creator, 26, said she was shocked to see dozens of fake reports circulating on social media claiming that she and Nussmeier, 23, were spotted entering a hotel together. 

Frustrated with the fake news, Tubre posted a video on X on Nov. 5 to set the record straight.

Peighton Tubre breaks silence on viral affair rumors with LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier 

"I'd like to address some of the fake news that's been circulating about me on the internet. Recently, there was an article posted on Facebook saying that I was having an affair with Garrett Nussmeier and that we were seen entering a hotel room together the night before one of his games," Tubre said in the video, adding that her family members were even contacted about the false stories. 

"So today, somebody sends me another article that they posted saying that Garret sent me unsolicited photos that made me uncomfortable and I posted the screenshots on social media which, if you follow me, you know I didn't post anything like that," she added.

"It is just fake, it is all fake. That's really all I have to say; it is just fake." 

Tubre said that when she saw the first fake post, she didn't pay much attention to it because it only "had 30 likes." 

"I was hoping it was going to go away and no one would see it," she explained. 

“Spoiler alert, everyone saw it. Everyone has seen it. People are blowing up my phone, people are reaching out to my family members which is really weird," Tubre added.

The affair rumors come three months after Nussmeier proposed to his childhood sweetheart, Ella Springfield.

Nussmeier popped the question to Springfield back in July while standing on a walkway surrounded by flowers overlooking the water. 

Shortly after the proposal, the couple announced the news on Instagram, writing, "Forever and always, yes yes yes. 'I have found the one whom my soul loves.' -Song of Solomon 3:4."
