In October, Adair broke the internet when she attended a Pathfinders’ game, cheering on Curran alongside his parents from inside the VIP box. Their relationship has been heating up since. The duo, who have been crowned American Royalty by fans, made their official red-carpet debut on October 21 at the World Music Awards where Adair took to the stage, performing the second single from her recently released album,Santa Ana, which has taken the airwaves by storm and continues to dominate the charts, monopolizing every spot of the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10.

The star expressed her gratitude on social media:

Are you serious?? I’m utterly verklempt right now. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Thank you for listening, thank you for streaming, thank you for riding this roller coaster with me.♥

With another album on the books and a tour yet to be officially announced, though fans are crossing their fingers an announcement will come before the end of the year, Adair appears to have some free time on her hands. Free time some eagle-eyed fans believe she intends to fill with her NFL superstar beau. Not only did her private jet make the trip from Los Angeles to Portland yesterday, her publicist, Rosaline Sinclair, made a rare post to her personal Instagram account, sharing a photo of the Portland International Airport’s iconic teal, geometric-patterned carpet, which made a return to the main terminal in 2024 after being removed in 2015.

Embracing the weird and wonderful this holiday season.

Sinclair, Adair’s publicist of the last eight years, garnered some attention following her appearance on the World Music Awards red carpet, many viewers taking note of the “undeniable chemistry” she had with Poppy Peterson, Cash Curran’s friend and publicist. Chemistry so undeniable that a large number of Adair and Curran’s fans are now shipping the two publicists, some even believing that they’re secretly dating.

Sinclair originally hails from Portland, meaning there’s always a chance she made the trip to the Pacific Northwest solo. However, that seems unlikely. The Portland Pathfinders do not have a game on Thanksgiving Day, freeing up Curran to spend the holiday indulgingin a little turkey and stuffing with family. The Pathfinders will be going head-to-head with the Patriots in a highly anticipated matchup on Sunday, December 2.

Chapter Sixteen

November 28

“Honestly, Penelope?” Mom fixed Poppy with a glare that could curdle milk. “What were you thinking?”

Poppy paused with her hand on the refrigerator door. She didn’t have the faintest idea what she could’ve possibly done to piss her mother off in the five minutes since she’d stepped through the door. Obviously, she’d done something.

Oh wait, that’s right.She’d stepped through the door. “I was grabbing a soda, Mom. That’s not a crime, is it?”

Out in the den, the rest of the family was gathered, Dad and Jessica and Dillon and their spouses and six collective children; Mom’s sister, Donna; and Dad’s two brothers, Craig and Mark, and their wives. Her cousins, Andrew, Stacee, Emma, Brittany, and Peter, all older than her by at least ten years, each of them married, their spouses and gaggle of children, Poppy’s first cousins once removed, also in attendance. Her niece, Maddie, had brought her fiancé. The Oregon-Oregon State game was playing on the TV, Oregon up at the half, and Poppy didn’t want to miss more of it than she already had. She’d only planned to pop into the kitchen for a drink, not have it out with her mother. Best-laid plans...

Mom looked like she’d swallowed a lemon. “Do you know howmortifyingit was for your father and I to learn—from the Winston-Mayfields no less—that our daughter got into a fight on national television?”

Jesus. Poppy hung her head with a sigh. Not this. “It wasn’t a fight, Mom. Someone broke onto the carpet, and I stopped them. And honestly, how does hearing it from the Winston-Mayfields make a difference?”

“Because. It’s all anyone at the club can talk about. Your poor father hasn’t been golfing in weeks.”

Boo fucking hoo. What boring lives people led if they were still nattering on about what happened at the WMAs. Even the tabloids had moved on, her tackle old news. “Shoulder season’s over. It’s almost December. Dad wouldn’t be golfing now anyway.”
