Dave Portnoy, the outspoken face of Barstool Sports, has made it official. After months of speculation, the 48-year-old media mogul finally confirmed he’s in a relationship with 26-year-old Camryn D’Aloia.
The reveal came not with a flashy social media post or red-carpet debut, but during a candid moment on the “Drop a Pin” podcast, where Portnoy shared a harrowing story about a boat mishap last summer.
Portnoy, who usually keeps his private life quiet, casually named D’Aloia while recalling how his boat lost power in Nantucket Harbor. “Originally, it was myself and Cam, um, a girl I’m dating,” Portnoy said. “I was like, ‘You have to get off and tell somebody, I have no communication.’” According to him, D’Aloia dove off the boat, swam to shore, and called the harbor master. Just like that, their relationship was no longer a secret.
From Courtside To Confirmed
The public first noticed the couple nearly a year ago when they sat together at a Boston Celtics playoff game against the Miami Heat. The TV broadcast captured them behind the announcers, and the internet quickly connected the dots. At the time, Portnoy had just ended his three-year relationship with model Silvana Mojica, and he wasn’t ready for the spotlight.
“Very unfortunate set of circumstances, I’ll say that,” Portnoy said on the “BFFs” podcast last May. “I’m sensitive to the fact I’m five-and-a-half months out of a relationship, so being seen on a date or with a girl was not what I was trying to do.” He admitted he even turned down courtside seats to avoid attention but ended up seated right behind the broadcasters.

The Celtics game wasn’t just a casual outing. Despite Portnoy’s attempts to keep things low-key, it became a public turning point. At the time, he described the exposure as “the two worst tickets” because of how visible they were on screen. That incident, now in the rearview, marks the beginning of his now-confirmed relationship with D’Aloia.
Portnoy, who was previously married to Renee Portnoy from 2009 to 2017, has rarely opened up about his romantic life in recent years. Speaking about his breakup with Mojica, he acknowledged the emotional split. “We were dating for three years… I just didn’t think I could give Silvana what she deserves,” he said. Now, with Camryn D’Aloia officially in the picture, Portnoy seems ready to turn the page, on his own terms.
