Every time a Manning sneezes, the internet starts a rumor. But for Arch, the situation is next-level. Fans have combed through his social media likes like forensic accountants. Results? He follows the Texas football account and roughly forty thousand meme pages. Not exactly a love connection.
There was that one blurry photo of him at a restaurant with a girl. The internet nearly crashed. Turns out it was his cousin. Classic Manning move—keep it in the family drama. The collective sigh of disappointment was audible from Austin to New York.
The truth is, Arch Manning is probably too busy to date. Between classes, weightlifting, and living under the microscope of a football dynasty, his free time is less “romantic dinner” and more “nostril-deep in a protein shake.”

Why We Care So Much (And It’s Weird)
Let’s be honest. We’re obsessed with Arch’s love life because he’s the last of the Manning dynasty. Peyton was your funny dad; Eli was your awkward uncle. Arch? He’s the mysterious freshman who might be the greatest quarterback ever. We want to know who’s catching his passes off the field, too.
It’s also a boredom thing. The NFL draft is months away. College football is a wasteland of hype. So we turn to the most absurd question possible: “Is the backup quarterback in a relationship?” It’s like asking if the Pope’s cat has a girlfriend. The answer is probably “None of your business, and also, meow.”
But here’s a shocking fact: Arch Manning’s dating profile is currently set to “Do Not Disturb.” According to sources who are completely made up by me, he’s only swiping right on Texas Longhorns highlight reels. That’s it. That’s the whole list.
