Kate Abdo has made her relationship with Deontay Wilder’s trainer Malik Scott Instagram-official after sharing a picture to her stories on social media on Thursday.
The CBS Sports anchor previously saw the name of her partner revealed on air by her Champions League co-stars Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards in December last year, after having made jokes about the presenter’s new relationship during broadcasts since the start of the season.
Carragher asked Abdo how she had enjoyed a trip to Alabama, before asking ‘are we going to meet Malik?’
Abdo responded in the affirmative, with Richards chiming in to ask if he worked in the sporting industry.
When the broadcaster confirmed that he did, fans on social media were quick to put two-and-two together and pair her with the Bronze Bomber’s coach.

But Abdo took their relationship public months later by simply re-sharing a picture of herself sitting on Scott’s lap, with the trainer kissing her cheek.
Scott had originally posted the picture, which Abdo shared with the additional of a simple red heart emoji.
Abdo later re-shared a story her paramour had shared teasing an interview for her weekly show Kickin’ It, as well as a video of Abdo posing on set with the caption ‘(white heart emoji) today was a good day (white heart emoji)’.
The 42-year-old is believed to have started dating Scott following her separation from husband Ratmin Abdo, who she married in 2010.
Former professional boxer Scott – who boasted a record of 38 wins and three losses during his career – has been Wilder’s head coach since 2021.

December saw Abdo promote her partner’s talents ahead of Wilder’s banner fight with Joseph Parker as part of Riyadh Season’s Day of Reckoning.
Sharing a picture of Scott to social media, Abdo captioned the post: ‘The man I love to see win is about to get another W on the biggest night in boxing’.
Sadly for Abdo and Scott, however, the reverse would be true, with Wilder defeated by the New Zealand heavyweight via unanimous decision.
