Miami wide receiver Keelan Marion has spent the postseason showing the country that he is more than an All-American kick returner. As his role expanded on the field, a quieter story unfolded alongside it, one that fans began to notice as Miami’s College Football Playoff run stretched into January. His relationship with influencer Hannah Straub played out organically across social media, frame by frame, game by game.

The couple appeared genuinely happy. In a TikTok video that has drawn more than 3.6 million views and spread rapidly across TikTok, Instagram, and X, Straub is seen seated in the endzone area at the National Championship, leaning over the railing to kiss Marion on the field following Miami’s loss to Indiana. The moment resonated not because it was staged for social media, but because it felt real and authentic. It was a raw postgame snapshot that traveled far beyond the stadium.
As the clip circulated, fans folded it into the wider CFP conversation, joking online that Keelan had “won the Baddie Bowl.” The tongue-in-cheek phrase popped up in comment sections and reposts, becoming shorthand for a viral off-field moment that lived alongside the championship game itself.
Straub documented every stop of Miami’s playoff journey, sharing photos and videos from each game while wearing Hurricanes gear and celebrating Marion’s rise on college football’s biggest stage. Her posts offered a steady, behind-the-scenes look at the postseason grind, from packed stands to field-level access, highlighting the support system that followed Marion through the sport’s most intense stretch.
The two also interacted openly in the comments. In one Instagram post, Straub captioned a game-day photo, “Lace your boots up #gigem,” tagging Marion directly and adding heart-eye emojis. Marion responded with heart-eye emojis of his own. In another postseason post featuring the pair together on the field, Straub wrote, “Can’t go against this.” Marion replied, “Can’t be fw twin 🤍.” Small exchanges, but ones that fans noticed and shared.

Beyond the viral kiss, Straub also shared a more personal moment ahead of the National Championship. In a separate TikTok video, she revealed a custom send-off she created for Marion, designing a football-field-themed banner with balloons to mark the biggest game of his career. It was a quieter clip, but one that underscored the care and intention behind the scenes.

Taken together, the posts trace a simple through-line from kickoff to confetti. In a sport where the spotlight is relentless and moments are fleeting, it was never about headlines or labels. It was just two people sharing a moment, and fans catching a brief glimpse of the life that exists beyond the lines on the field.
