Notre Dame quarterback Riley Leonard’s girlfriend is turning heads on social media in the buildup to the Fighting Irish’s clash with Penn State.
The two teams are scheduled to play in the Orange Bowl this Thursday in a game that will decide one of the finalists for the national title showdown. With the fixture approaching, Leonard’s girlfriend, Molly Walding, has been trending online.
Riley and Molly have been together since high school. She has supported him through his days at Duke before he transferred to Notre Dame.
Molly attended Auburn University herself and remains there as a student recruiter after studying hospitality, event management, and business.
The couple recently celebrated their seven-year anniversary.
Walding took to Instagram last month to post a video showing some of their best times together.
“Celebrating an Irish win and celebrating 7 years of us!!!!!! I couldn’t be more thankful for you,” she captioned the clip.
Riley Leonard Will Need A Complete Game Against Penn State
Riley and his GF have had some more to celebrate in recent times, with the quarterback having fired the Fighting Irish to the CFP semis. The program is now just one win away from playing in a national title game.
The QB will need to be at his best against the Nittany Lions on Thursday night. He threw for 90 yards and a touchdown in the Sugar Bowl vs. Georgia, adding 80 yards on 14 carries from the ground.
The Orange Bowl is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPN this Thursday night.

Las Vegas Aces star A’ja Wilson has emerged as one of the most prominent figures in women’s basketball. Her outstanding achievements and dominant performances on the court have boosted her confidence in her skills. However, this confidence has recently caused her some trouble, as NBA fans criticized her for a recent statement she made.
In a recent episode of the “Roommates” show, Wilson stunned both the NBA and WNBA by claiming that she could defeat New York Knicks star Josh Hart in a one-on-one matchup. Additionally, she predicted that the final score would be 11-8.
“Score would be 11-8, me. I’m not saying you gonna go scoreless, 8 to 11 is pretty solid. So, what do you think it’ll be, Josh?” Wilson said.
Although Josh and Wilson both had a good laugh during their conversation, Wilson’s comment stirred up the basketball community. “She’d lose 11-0 w him only playing w his offhand,” one fan said.
