How ESPN Reporters Malika Andrews And Dave McMenamin Kept Their Romance Private Revealed

Let’s get into how top ESPN NBA reporters Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin managed to keep their romance under wraps before getting married. We all love a good love story, especially when it involves two talented journalists in the sports industry. So how did they do it?

First things first, these two lovebirds were super professional when it came to their work. They didn’t let their relationship interfere with their reporting. They kept things strictly business while on the job, which is no easy feat when you’re head-over-heels in love with your co-worker.

But outside of work, they were able to find a balance between their personal and professional lives. They made sure to keep their relationship private and out of the public eye. No flashy social media posts or paparazzi pictures for these two. They knew how to play it cool and kept their romance on the down-low.

In a new interview on the Straight to Cam podcast with Cameron Brink and Sydel Curry-Lee, Andrews explained how she and McMenamin navigated their relationship in the limelight of the sports media business and the difference between being “private and keeping a “secret.”

“Anybody who knew us, even a fan in the arena, you could see us walking down the street together. We would walk into arenas together. He would give me a peck,” Andrews explained. “If you observed us in person, you would know, and it wasn’t something that was, like, a secret. But it was something that was private, private from… Instagram, social media, those sorts of things. That was sort of the line that we made.”

As the relationship became public, Andrews made it a priority to block out commentary online.

“I think I’ve graduated from the place in my life where I want to give away my power to other people’s opinions,” Andrews said. “We talked about it, but we always knew that we wanted to do it that way.”

Andrews, who has also been open about her lifelong struggle with mental illness, knows the scrutiny she faces comes with the territory. But her personal life and relationship clearly matter more than what the chorus of commenters and reply guys might have to say.

“When people don’t have information, oftentimes they fill in the blanks with whatever they come up with,” Andrews said. “We certainly had to contend with that, but that was always something that I just was comfortable with because that’s your prerogative, I suppose.”

So, there you have it – the secret behind ESPN NBA reporters Malika Andrews and Dave McMenamin’s private romance. It just goes to show that you can have a successful relationship while working together, as long as you keep things professional and respect each other’s boundaries.
