It turns out that Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson aren't the only NFL quarterbacks who currently have a celebrity girlfriend; so does Charlie Whitehurst.
The Colts backup quarterback is dating Jewel, a fact that was leaked by Jewel's friend Nancy O'Dell during the College Football Playoff National Championship game on Monday.
Love running in to my pal Jewel on the field. Loved her from 1st time I met her & now she's dating a Clemson fella, Charlie Whitehurst= awesome! #nationalchampionship

Whitehurst, who attended Clemson, was at the game to cheer on his Tigers, who lost to Alabama 45-40.

It's not clear how long the two have been dating, but they've been talking to each other on Twitter since at least June.
@jeweljk floor envy is rampant I hear, and mum's the word on how I stay up so late

Jewel also took to Twitter to cheer Whitehurst on while he was playing for the Colts in December.
Come on @cwhitey6!

According to People.com, the two have been together long enough that they decided to take a trip to France over the summer. Whitehurst actually shared a picture from that vacation a few months ago and it definitely looks like a picture that a girlfriend would make a boyfriend take so that she can laugh at it for the rest of time.
Feel like there aren't many NFL QB's who post pics like this, @cwhitey6 might be the only one http://t.co/fHGKIATufa pic.twitter.com/vKoNyIZlfI

Jewel clearly doesn't mind that the relationship has been taken public. The singer has shared two photos of Whitehurst on her Instagram page this week, which is a step up from the zero she had shared of Whitehurst before that.
