Reality TV star Telli Swift, ex-fiancee of heavyweight boxing champion Deontay Wilder, is off the market.
Telli, 38, was seen holding hands with hunky Los Angeles Rams football star John Johnson III in L.A. on Wednesday. Telli seemed in good spirits and smiled as they left a building in Downtown LA.
John, 29, was selected by the Rams in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft. He also played for the Cleveland Browns before signing a one–year, $1.37 million contract with the Rams in 2024.
The “WAGS Atlanta” star has moved on from an abusive relationship with Deontay.
Telli filed a restraining order against Deontay after a brutal domestic violence incident in 2024. According to TMZ, Telli, who began dating Deontay in 2015, accused the champion boxer of choking her “at least five times” since 2018.
Telli, pictured with Deontay in 2022, claimed he once shoved her face in a pillow for so long that she nearly suffocated.
On April 15, 2024, Telli said Deontay threw her out of their Atlanta-area home soon after she had surgery. She stated she has been living in Los Angeles with their 7-year-old daughter.
“I believe Deontay is capable of being physically violent towards me upon his return in June because he has expressed that he is furious with me since April and has been physically abusive with me in the past,” she said in court documents.
Deontay, 39, is 6 ft 7 with a boxing record of 43 wins, 4 losses and 42 knockouts. He has eight children with multiple baby mamas.
He held the World Boxing Council (WBC) heavyweight title from 2015 to 2020.
