DeChambeau and Demaiter Deepen Romance at Texas Home

A relationship that began attracting public attention earlier this year is becoming more established, as professional golfer Bryson DeChambeau and former Canadian hockey goalie Mikayla Demaiter have appeared together in a newly published photograph from his Texas home. Us Weekly reported on October 9, 2026, that the couple are growing closer, offering a rare glimpse of their private life together.

The photograph shows Demaiter, 26, and DeChambeau, 33, smiling in a mirror selfie with their arms around each other. Their dogs, Bear, DeChambeau's German Shepherd, and Edward, Demaiter's dog, also appear in the background. According to Us Weekly, Demaiter was staying at the golfer's home when the picture was taken and has been seen spending time with him in Texas.

An insider described the couple's relationship as progressing positively, telling Us Weekly that they were "getting serious." The publication had previously reported in August that the pair were happy together, although their relationship was still relatively new.

The same insider emphasized their preference for keeping their personal lives out of the spotlight, saying, "They are both pretty private when it comes to relationships." The couple's connection first drew attention earlier in August when Demaiter was spotted wearing a Crushers GC hat at LIV Golf New York. DeChambeau captains the team.

Demaiter has since appeared alongside DeChambeau at golf events, including LIV Golf Indianapolis at The Club at Chatham Hills in late August. In September, photographs obtained by the New York Post showed the pair aboard Marine One with President Donald Trump and golf legend Gary Player. They were seen disembarking near the White House.

Before entering modeling and building a substantial social media following, Demaiter played goalie for the Bluewater Hawks in Canada's Provincial Women's Hockey League. She retired at 19 because of an injury and has since accumulated more than three million Instagram followers, according to NDTV Sports.

DeChambeau has continued pursuing projects beyond tournament golf. On September 21, he launched Bryson's Backyard Games, an elimination-style golf competition featuring 10 players and a $100,000 prize. The series was filmed at his home, and golfer Chance Taylor was announced as the winner earlier in October.

In a September birthday post on Instagram, DeChambeau expressed appreciation for the support he received, writing, "Grateful for another year of life and feeling incredibly blessed," before adding, "Thank y'all for all the birthday wishes and continued support. Excited for everything this new year of life has in store!" Demaiter liked the post.

DeChambeau has also addressed uncertainty surrounding LIV Golf's future. Speaking after his opening round at LIV Golf Indianapolis, he acknowledged the challenges facing the organization.

"It's tough, it's not easy. We definitely have a lot against us," DeChambeau said.

He also defended the league's contribution to professional golf and the communities hosting its events, pointing to the work of its staff, the experience offered to spectators, and the economic effects on host locations.

"I hope people can see that we actually bring value to the game of golf. I think behind the scenes we've got a lot of people that are working hard to make this possible for not only all the players that are out here but all the fans that have come out to these events and the economic impact we've made on all these places," DeChambeau said.
