The “Hawk Tuah” Girl, Haliey Welch, has disclosed what’s going on between her and “Pookie.”

Welch went viral thanks to her now-famous phrase, “Hawk Tuah,” earlier this year, but her interview was also notable because she made mention of a certain “Pookie,” who she said she would love forever.

Speaking on an episode of her ‘Talk Tuah with Haliey Welch’ podcast, the Tennessee native revealed that the mystery male is her official guy.

She also revealed he asked her to be his girlfriend on their first date.

“Pookie’s my officially my man,” she said.

Her friend Chelsea also revealed that Pookie had balloons all over his room, plus a “Be Mine” sign.

Welch said she messed up the display after popping the balloons by turning on the ceiling fan. However, she still agreed to be Pookie’s girl and lauded the effort.

The owner of the viral phrase explained that they were off and on for around three years but are now official.

“I’ve known this man for, like, three years [and] he’s playing hard to get, and I love a good game,” she said.

Haliey Welch’s DMs Are Very Active

The social media sensation also recently told PEOPLE plenty of men have been trying to get at her via her DMs but that things were getting serious between herself and the Pookmeister.

“My DMs are full of men, but that’s just not my cup of tea,” she said.

She also told the publication that the mystery male lives in “the next town over” from Belfast, Tenn, where she’s from.

Kansas City Chiefs President Forced To Address Rumors That Taylor Swift & Travis Kelce’s Relationship Is Just A “Marketing Strategy” For The Team

There’s a conspiracy theory for just about everything, including bizarre ones relating to the highly publicized relationship between Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.

The three-time Super Bowl champion has been in a relationship with Taylor Swift for over a year. Their rumored romance was confirmed when Swift attended the Chiefs’ Week 3, 2023 home game against the Chicago Bears at Arrowhead Stadium.

Kelce’s romance with Swfit has been a giant win for the Chiefs and the NFL, too. She has brought plenty more attention to the NFL and contributed to the Chiefs’ skyrocketing popularity worldwide.

Naturally, conspiracy theorists believe the Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift romance is simply a marketing ploy to help the Chiefs and the league. But Chiefs president Mark Donovan finally addressed the ridiculous rumor during an appearance on NBC’s “Squawk Box” program:

“I’d love to say that it was a marketing strategy, but it is an authentic relationship. And we’re happy to have it, and it’s been nothing but good for us.

I think the best thing I can say about the whole relationship and the impact it’s had on us is, Taylor Swift is an authentic member of the Kansas City Chiefs kingdom. She’s an authentic fan and that matters to our fans and our fan base and to matters to us and we try to respect that.”
