Paige Spiranac shuts down Robby Berger breakup rumours after Internet Invitational

Paige Spiranac has found herself at the centre of an unexpected social media storm after rumours emerged linking her to the end of Robby Berger's engagement.

The popular golf influencer was forced to address speculation surrounding her relationship with the Bob Does Sports creator after the pair's interactions at Barstool Sports' 2026 Internet Invitational sparked plenty of online discussion.

Spiranac and Berger have worked together on numerous occasions, but their latest appearance together prompted some fans to read more into their playful exchanges. Some social media users even suggested Spiranac had been involved in Berger's separation from his former fiancée, Narod. 

But Spiranac was having none of it.

Spiranac has reportedly taken to X to dismiss the claims, making it clear she had played no part in the couple's breakup. 

The post was later deleted, although an account that had previously joked about the rumours appeared to preserve the exchange.

Berger subsequently responded to her message, writing: "Thank you Paige. I will destroy the rumors and those that try to spread it."

While the speculation has attracted attention, the pair's friendship has been well established through their previous collaborations.

Their latest Internet Invitational appearance also delivered one particularly memorable exchange.

During the competition, Berger made a joke about another player looking like "he had tears in his eyes", before adding: "Imagine crying on a golf course."

It was a remark that appeared to have an extra layer of meaning for Spiranac.

At the 2025 edition of the tournament, she had broken down in tears after being accused of illegally improving her lie. Berger's comment seemed to bring back memories of that incident.

Spiranac initially appeared caught off guard before turning towards Berger with a visibly unimpressed expression. He responded by looking away and biting his bottom lip.

Watch that moment here:

Away from the golf course, Berger had already spoken publicly about the end of his engagement.

The well-liked content creator confirmed the split during an episode of his podcast in August, describing the preceding months as an extremely difficult period.

"Been a really, really tough couple months, it really has... I have a lot of love for her, I have a lot of love for her family and all, and I think it makes it harder when you do have a lot of love - to nobody's fault of each other. It just, it wasn't meant to be," said Berger. 

He also revealed that the couple had separated several months earlier, despite having been engaged.

"We split a couple months ago, you know, we were engaged and it didn't work out. It's been a really, really tough time. It wasn't meant to be and, looking forward to at least trying to move forward."

With the rumours now publicly addressed, Spiranac has made it clear she does not want to be linked to the circumstances surrounding Berger's relationship breakdown.
