Bobbi Althoff, the host of the popular podcast series “Not This Again,” has opened up about her flourishing relationship with basketball player Tyler Hawkins. Since November 2024, the couple has been enjoying their time together, a sentiment Althoff recently shared in an exclusive interview with People magazine as she promoted the second season of her podcast, which premiered on February 18.

The 28-year-old influencer conveyed her happiness in the relationship, stating, “Things are great. We are doing well. I think we’ve been together for almost a year and a half now, and yeah, things are good. He’s all I want for myself in a boyfriend and we’ve been really happy.” Althoff clearly appreciates Hawkins, highlighting the unobtrusive nature of their bond, which entails engaging in simple, everyday activities.
Despite her evident joy, Althoff expressed a degree of caution regarding sharing details of her romance with Hawkins on social media. She noted with a hint of humour that her fans often seem less keen on her happiness. “I’m still indifferent whenever I share him online because the people who follow me don’t want me to be happy, apparently,” she remarked.
Reflecting on how dating has evolved since her younger years, Althoff acknowledged that she has shifted out of the dating scene thanks to her relationship with Hawkins. She mentioned, “Now that me and Tyler have been together for a minute, I feel like I’m outside of the dating world, so I don’t even know anymore.” She spoke about past challenges in meeting new people, suggesting that it was often difficult when she wasn’t in social settings that facilitated connections.
In a prior conversation with People in January, Althoff provided additional insights into her relationship with Hawkins, describing him as “a great, great guy” who embodies everything she desires in a partner. She shared that their relationship is anchored in normalcy, consistently enjoying the mundane moments together, which she believes adds to its authenticity.
The podcast host also reflected on her life changes since her divorce from her former husband, Cory Althoff, with whom she has two daughters. Cory filed for divorce citing “irreconcilable differences,” and the couple arranged for joint legal custody of their children. Bobbi Althoff’s dating journey has therefore taken on new significance in the context of her family life and personal growth.
In addition to her relationship insights, Althoff is excited about her upcoming venture, co-hosting a new podcast titled “That’s BS (That’s Bobbi & Suki),” alongside rapper Sukihana, a frequent podcast guest. Althoff recounted the day she first met Sukihana, recalling their initial encounter at an Atlanta strip club for a brief interview. Their friendship has only deepened since that day, prompting the decision to collaborate on this new project.
“This new podcast will be quite different,” Althoff explained. “We’re going to just talk about things as friends, and there’s not going to be really like a character or anything. I’m aiming to present a more vulnerable side of myself that I haven’t had on the podcast before.” Although she hints at the inclusion of guests in future episodes, Althoff indicated that the format would primarily focus on genuine conversation rather than a guest-centric structure.
Bobbi Althoff continues to balance her personal and professional life while embracing the joy of her current relationship and exploring new creative partnerships. As she navigates these exciting ventures, fans are likely to remain engaged with her journey, both as a podcaster and a partner.
