ESPN sports betting analyst Erin Dolan explained why things work so well with her boyfriend, Phillies third baseman Alec Bohm.
Dolan, a Delaware County, Pa. native, publicly discussed the couple’s relationship after months of speculation across social media.
“Yes, I do date Alec Bohm, everyone knows that,” Dolan told the Philadelphia Inquirer, adding that she’s bringing Bohm as her date to Super Bowl 2025 between the Chiefs and the Eagles in New Orleans. “Last Super Bowl I brought my brother as my security guard. This year, Alec is coming, so we’re going to go to the game together.
“Having someone who’s in the same industry [and being able] to support each other is great, just because you deal with the same outside noise a lot of people don’t understand.
“We try to keep it low-key,” Dolan said.
The ESPN personality added that she has security while doing live events as some followers can become hostile when her bet suggestions don’t pan out.
It’s unclear exactly how Dolan, a diehard Philadelphia sports fan, and Bohm met and when they began dating.
The couple tends to keep their personal lives private.
Dolan also said she’s pulling for the Eagles in Sunday’s Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs.
Dolan, who joined ESPN as sports betting analyst in December of 2021, appears regularly on “ESPN BET Live” and ESPN’s NFL pre-game show, “Sunday NFL Countdown,” along with other programs and segments across ESPN television, radio, and digital platforms.
“I’m picking the Eagles,” Dolan said. “I like other players for the Chiefs for player props and certain things, but I’m not going against the Eagles. They’re hot right now … The line’s been moving in favor of them, so people are betting them.”
Dolan was previously a sports reporter at PHL17 in Philadelphia and a sideline reporter for the Philadelphia Wings.
