Update: While Valery Orellana has been reported as Caleb Williams’ girlfriend, the former USC Trojans quarterback told The Spun that they are not dating.
Earlier: As Caleb Williams prepares to enter the green room and get on stage to hug Roger Goodell tomorrow, he’ll likely be side-by-side in Las Vegas with his longtime girlfriend, Valery Orellana.
According to The U.S. Sun, Williams and Orellana have been dating since at least October 2020, when they shared an Instagram image together on prom night. Per the report, she comes from Rockville, Maryland and played on her high school’s field hockey team.
“Young Angel and Young Lion, you know what it is!” Williams wrote on the post three-and-a-half years ago.
Orellana didn’t follow Williams to USC though. She attends the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, where she is pursuing a B.A. at the Hussman School of Media and Journalism with a minor in business.

Despite some posts suggesting that the two are married, they aren’t.
Fans have been eager to learn more about Williams’ personal life ever since a picture of Williams holding up a pink phone case during a basketball game went viral. Many have criticized Williams for presenting himself in such a way in public, believing that it makes him less of a man for doing so.

But Williams seems comfortable in his own skin and seems to be looking forward to his putting on his Draft Day suit to boot.
“Wait till yall see draft day suit and my ladies dress. 1 of 1s,” Williams wrote earlier this month.
