Giants RB Cam Skattebo and Chloe Rodriguez Share Their Simple Relationship Rule as His Fame Grows

Cam Skattebo is getting attention the way modern NFL stars do it best: big plays, bigger personality, and just enough off-field buzz to keep both sports fans and gossip readers checking their feeds.

This time, the headline isn’t about a box score — it’s about how the New York Giants running back and his longtime girlfriend, Chloe Rodriguez, handle the spotlight. In an interview during Super Bowl week, the couple boiled it down to one simple “rule”: don’t make everything so serious, and give each other patience when the noise gets loud. (You can read the full interview via People.)

If that sounds almost too normal, that’s kind of the point. Skattebo’s vibe has never been subtle — and neither has the internet’s reaction. Rodriguez acknowledged that watching his visibility explode has been an adjustment, but also made it clear she’s seen this movie before: in her mind, he’s been “a superstar” since day one.

Of course, it helps when your boyfriend’s “viral moments” are literal highlight-reel stunts. Skattebo made headlines last season after a backflip in the end zone against the Chargers, and his reputation has grown around the idea that he plays football like it’s a contact sport and a dare.

That daredevil edge apparently goes way back. Skattebo’s mom, Becky, previously described him as the kid who’d throw on shoulder pads and run into telephone poles as “training” — which is equal parts alarming and extremely on-brand for a player who now treats Sundays like an audition.

Rodriguez, 23, has been alongside him since their college days at Sacramento State (he played football; she cheered), and she stayed in his corner when he was drafted by the Giants in the fourth round in 2025 — even moving east with him afterward.

So yeah, the fame is real. But their strategy for surviving it? Surprisingly simple: be patient, keep it light, and just live your life.
