Dave Portnoy, the founder of Barstool Sports, recently confirmed his relationship with Camryn D'Aloia, a social media influencer, during an appearance on the "Drop a Pin" podcast. This revelation comes nearly a year after the couple was first publicly spotted together at a Boston Celtics game in April 2024, which sparked considerable media attention.
During the podcast episode aired on April 20, 2025, Portnoy, 48, recounted a harrowing incident from July 2024 when he and his mother had to be rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard after their boat lost power while in Nantucket, Massachusetts. "I thought about jumping off [the boat] at one point," he admitted, recalling the panic of the situation.
When asked if his mother was also on board, Portnoy clarified that initially, he was with D'Aloia. "No, originally, it was myself and Cam, the girl I’m dating. I was like, ‘You have to get off and tell somebody, I have no communication.’ So she, before we got too far, dove off and went home and called the harbor master," he explained. This dramatic moment not only showcased the couple's bond but also highlighted the intensity of their situation at sea.
The couple first caught the public eye during Game 4 of the Celtics' first-round playoff series against the Miami Heat on April 29, 2024. They were seen sitting together behind the broadcasters, which led to a flurry of speculation about their relationship. Portnoy later addressed this sighting on the "BFFs" podcast, describing it as a "very unfortunate set of circumstances" since he had only recently ended his previous relationship with influencer Silvana Mojica.
Portnoy had been with Mojica from 2020 until their breakup in November 2023, which he described as a difficult decision. "I just didn’t think I could give Silvana kind of what she deserves," he stated on the podcast, reflecting on how their futures were misaligned. Mojica had shared a tearful video on TikTok after their split, revealing that Portnoy was the one who ended their relationship.
In light of his new romance, Portnoy has been more open about his personal life, albeit still somewhat reserved. He referred to D'Aloia simply as "Cam" during the podcast, emphasizing that he generally keeps his private life hidden. However, this latest revelation marks the first time he has confirmed a relationship since his split from Mojica.
Despite the challenges of being in the public eye, Portnoy has navigated his romantic life with a mix of humor and caution. After the Celtics game incident, he admitted to purchasing tickets to another game in different seats to avoid being photographed again. "So, we get the f–k out of there. I bought two tickets in real time in different seats and moved just three rows back and out of the way. We did not want to be on camera," he explained, showcasing his desire to maintain some privacy.
The couple's relationship appears to be blossoming, and fans are eager to see how it develops. D'Aloia, 26, has been supportive of Portnoy, and their chemistry was evident during their public appearances. As Portnoy continues to share snippets of his life, many are left wondering if this relationship will lead to something more serious.
Portnoy's candidness about his past relationships and his current romance with D'Aloia provides fans with a glimpse into his life, balancing his public persona with personal experiences. As he navigates the complexities of dating in the spotlight, one thing is clear: Portnoy is ready to embrace this new chapter with D'Aloia by his side.
In the fast-paced world of celebrity relationships, Portnoy's story serves as a reminder of the challenges of maintaining privacy while being in the public eye. As he moves forward, both he and D'Aloia appear to be enjoying their time together, despite the scrutiny that comes with their high-profile lives.
