Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson ​Are Engaged: Inside the Couple’s Romance

Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson were “close friends” for years before they announced their relationship in September 2023. That said, the pair reportedly were seeing each other while she was married.

When Did Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson Start Dating?

The former NFL star and Samantha became Instagram official in September 2023.

“Vive la France. Congratulations @chanelhandel @amackenzietemplar. The most beautiful wedding,” Samantha captioned her September 20, 2023, Instagram post. Jay appeared in the first image of the photo carousel, where he and Samantha were dressed to impress at the wedding festivities. The former professional athlete also appeared in other photos in the digital collage.

Two days later, Samantha confirmed the hard launch by sharing a photo with Jay back at home.
“Sunsets in Montana never disappoint,” Samantha captioned the post.

Shortly after taking their relationship public, a source gave Life & Style exclusive details inside the pair’s romance.

“Jay and Samantha have been close friends for years,” the source told Life & Style, noting that Jay was pals with Samantha’s ex-husband, Trace Ayala, and she was friendly with his ex-wife, Kristin Cavallari. “Their families hung out and even vacationed together.”

The insider later said that Jay and Samantha were “giving things a shot. It’s only been a few months, but they’re already pretty serious.”

“You mean the wife of his good friend Trace Ayala who busted them having an affair whilst vacationing all together with the kids” one fan wrote under the post.

In May 2022, In Touch reported that Jay was having a “long-time affair” with his best friend’s wife.

“Jay went on vacation with his kids and his friend and his wife and their kids,” a source told the outlet at the time. “The husband and Jay are good friends and also neighbors. Their kids are all friends. While they were on the trip, Jay was hooking up with his wife.”

Are Jay Cutler and Samantha Robertson Still Together?

Jay and Samantha keep their relationship off social media – for the most part.

In January 2024, Jay shared a beachside photo while taking a stroll along the shore with Samantha. The couple wrote “Sam [heart] Jay” in the sand and the Very Cavallari alum shared the photo via Instagram.

Three months later, Samantha was featured in a post shared on Instagram via Outsider, Jay’s business. In the video, Samantha bared skin while hunting outdoors.

“Some hunting stories are better than others. Shoes off, no pants and longbeard down,” the caption read. “Our new semi clothed pro hunter, @samanthajrobertson, with a great shot from 45yds.” In the next slide, Jay questioned Sam as if they were in an interview while in their car, and asked her how she was barely clothed while hunting.

“I mean, I did not want this video I posted, but I see that I’ve lost this battle. So, at least I can explain myself. I have very viable reasons for why I have no pants or shoes on,” Sam said in the video.

She later added, “From the beginning, we went out early morning, heard a bunch of gobbles. All right, fast forward to – we got a little antsy. We went out, decided if we could hear anything.
We went to go and call in the afternoon like one ish two ish the hottest time of the day. We heard one, we walked around for quite a bit and we decided to head to [the bushes].”

On November 8, 2024, Jay shared a photo of him and Samantha at the Yellowstone season 5 premiere. The pair looked fabulous and embraced each other in the snapshot. However, fans noticed the massive diamond ring on Samantha’s engagement finger.

Fans filled the comments section of the post asking if they were engaged. Although they have yet to publicly confirm their engagement, sources told People that they were headed down the aisle.
