Bryson DeChambeau, the power‑hitting two‑time US Open champion, has found a new companion in Mikayla Demaiter, a Canadian model who has become known online as the “world’s sexiest hockey player.” Their relationship, which began surfacing at a recent LIV Golf event in New York, marks a crossover where the links meet the rink and the runway.
From the ice to the influencer scene
Demaiter was born on May 14, 2000, in Ontario, Canada, and spent two seasons as a starting goalie for the Bluewater Hawks in the Provincial Women’s Hockey League, logging 20 appearances before a knee injury forced her retirement in 2019. The injury prompted a pivot to modelling, a move that leveraged her striking looks and charismatic presence to build a substantial following.
Today she commands roughly three million followers on Instagram and over a million on X, where she shares fashion shoots, lifestyle snapshots and occasional clips of herself lacing up her old hockey gear for nostalgic posts. The moniker “world’s sexiest hockey player” follows her from the rink to the digital sphere, underscoring the blend of sport and spectacle that defines her brand.
DeChambeau, who captains the Crushers team in the LIV circuit, was previously linked to Lilia Schneider but appears to have settled into a stable partnership with Demaiter. The pair’s public outing at the New York event was captured by fans and quickly amplified across social platforms, reinforcing the narrative of a modern athlete romance that transcends traditional sport boundaries.
Their story illustrates how contemporary sport culture increasingly intertwines with fashion, media and personal branding. As both continue to expand their respective platforms, the relationship serves as a reminder that the lines between competition, entertainment and personal life are now more fluid than ever.
