Dave Portnoy, the brash and unfiltered founder of Barstool Sports, has never been one to shy away from the spotlight, but when it comes to his love life, he’s been surprisingly tight-lipped about his current girlfriend, Camryn D’Aloia. That is, until April 2025, when he casually dropped her name on his Drop a Pin podcast while recounting a terrifying boating incident from the previous summer.
The story itself was wild—Portnoy’s boat lost power off the coast of Nantucket in July 2024, leaving him stranded in dangerous conditions—but what caught everyone’s attention was his offhand mention of “Cam, the girl I’m dating,” crediting her with calling for help and staying calm during the ordeal. That marked the first time he publicly acknowledged their relationship after months of speculation.
Inside Dave Portnoy’s Low-Key Relationship with His Girlfriend Camryn D’Aloia
The rumors started nearly a year earlier, on April 29, 2024, when Portnoy and D’Aloia were spotted sitting courtside at a Boston Celtics vs. Miami Heat playoff game. The cameras caught them laughing together during a live broadcast, and the internet immediately lit up with questions about who she was. Portnoy, who had just ended a three-year relationship with model Silvana Mojica in November 2023, wasn’t thrilled about the attention.
He later admitted on The Dave Portnoy Show that he even bought new tickets mid-game to move seats and avoid further camera shots, explaining that D’Aloia “did not want to be pictured.” Despite his efforts, the damage was done, and fans were already digging into her background.
Camryn D’Aloia, a 26-year-old from Massachusetts, is a far cry from Portnoy’s usual high-profile exes. She’s not a model or an influencer, at least not in the traditional sense, and she’s kept a relatively low profile compared to Portnoy’s past girlfriends. But what she lacks in Instagram fame, she makes up for in shared interests with Portnoy, particularly their mutual obsession with the Boston Celtics. They were spotted again at another Celtics game in June 2024, this time looking even cozier, but Portnoy still refused to confirm anything, dodging questions with his typical “none of your business” attitude.
The age gap between them—22 years, with Portnoy being 48 and D’Aloia 26—hasn’t gone unnoticed, but it’s hardly the first time Portnoy has dated someone significantly younger. His previous relationship with Silvana Mojica, which lasted from 2021 to 2023, also had a similar age difference. Before that, he was married to Renee Portnoy from 2009 to 2017, a relationship that ended in divorce but without much public drama. Portnoy has always been private about his personal life, despite his very public persona, and D’Aloia seems to prefer it that way too.
What’s interesting about this relationship is how little has been revealed, even now. Unlike his past romances, which often played out on social media, Portnoy and D’Aloia have kept things remarkably under wraps. There are no cringey couple posts, no staged paparazzi shots, just the occasional sighting at a Celtics game or a rare mention in passing. That might be why fans are so intrigued—Portnoy, the guy who built an empire on oversharing, is suddenly playing it close to the vest.
The Nantucket boat incident was the first real glimpse into their dynamic. Portnoy’s retelling of the story painted D’Aloia as level-headed and quick-thinking, a stark contrast to his own chaotic energy. He described how she stayed calm while he was “freaking out,” and how she was the one who managed to get help when his boat’s engine failed. It was a small detail, but it said a lot about their relationship—she’s not just arm candy, she’s someone he relies on.
As of now, there’s no indication that Dave Portnoy plans to make their relationship any more public than it already is. He’s made it clear that he values his privacy when it comes to dating, and D’Aloia seems to feel the same. Whether that changes down the line remains to be seen, but for now, the mystery around them only adds to the intrigue. One thing’s for sure: if Portnoy ever does decide to open up about their relationship, the internet will be listening.
