It’s a small world after all.
The Golden Bachelorette star Joan Vassos recently revealed a surprising connection to NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs, sharing that her daughter, Allison (also known as Ally), dated the football star when they were both in high school.
Joan made the revelation during an appearance on the Almost Famous podcast, explaining that Diggs attended a nearby high school in Maryland while her daughter was a senior. Their relationship became serious enough that Diggs was a familiar face around the Vassos household.
According to Joan, Diggs frequently visited their home, and she still has several family photos featuring the future NFL star.
She even recalled taking Diggs to Morton’s Steakhouse for a birthday dinner celebrating her late husband, John Vassos, who happened to share the same birthday as the football standout. Those memories remain part of the family’s photo collection years later.
While the revelation caught many fans off guard, Joan made it clear that this all happened years before Diggs became one of the NFL’s biggest names. Since then, both families have moved forward. Allison is now married to Noah Joseph and has a son, while Diggs has remained one of football’s most recognizable wide receivers.
The unexpected story quickly went viral online, with fans amazed to learn that the beloved reality TV star once had such a close connection to one of the NFL’s biggest stars.
It’s another reminder that long before the cameras, the fame, and the headlines, Stefon Diggs was simply a teenager stopping by his girlfriend’s house for dinner.
