Baseball Player Joey Gallo’s Relationship With Shelbi Alyssa
Some online reports claim Joey Gallo’s current girlfriend is Claire Danko, while the other side of the story says the Twins champ is in love with dancer, Shelbi Alyssa. It has created confusion among MLB fans regarding Joey’s love life.
When Gallo was a rookie at the Texas Rangers in 2015, he dated Alyssa (a former cheerleader of San Diego). The same year, Shelbi won the title of Miss Greater San Diego USA.
She was supportive of Joey’s playing career as evidenced by her past Instagram post that read, “I’m so proud of this handsome goofball on absolutely killing the game and getting promoted.”
“You never fail to impress me, and that’s not just because I have terrible hand-eye coordination and could never do the things you do,” the cheerleader wrote upon her boyfriend being called up to the Rangers, “I’m so happy for you and excited to be along for the ride. Thank you for letting me be your cheerleader.?”
After a while, there were reports that Joey and Shelbi must have broken up. Since then, the media couldn’t find any updates on their relationship.
But, some netizens are spreading rumors that Joey and Shelbi are still together just based on the past reports.
Following their separation, otffthefieldnews.com reported in 2021 that Shelbi is seeing a guy named Rikardo. Their appealing picture, where Rikardo and the pro dancer were seen sharing a kiss at a sports stadium was also leaked.
