Taking to Instagram, Sapp called the rumors “fabricated nonsense” and expressed frustration over the online harassment she has faced.
“It’s one thing for sports fanatics to come onto my page after I made a really big life choice and talk crazy,” she said, referencing her divorce from Spoelstra in 2023. “But it’s another thing entirely for you to come to my page and harass me over a rumor that is 100% flat-out not true.”
Sapp Spoelstra also revealed that she had already spoken with Jaquez’s girlfriend and his mother to address the situation.
“The three of us are over here rolling our eyes at all you knuckleheads,” she added, emphasizing the baseless nature of the claims.

Sapp Spoelstra further clarified that a recent Instagram post joking about dating younger men was taken out of context and had no connection to the rumors.
The timing of the speculation has been particularly challenging for Sapp, who has faced ongoing scrutiny since her divorce from Spoelstra. Despite the noise, she remains focused on her family and career, refusing to let false narratives define her.
