Zay Flowers has turned a page in more ways than one. On the field, he’s off to a sharp start in the 2025 season. Off the field, he made a statement that was as personal as it was public with his new lady love.

In a birthday post filled with intimate photos on Instagram from training camp embraces to travel snapshots, Zay Flowers wrote,

“Happy Birthday, My Love! I’m so grateful to have you in my life, and I hope today brings you as much joy as you bring into my life. Love you.”

The message, coming with no attempt to hide their closeness, functioned as a clear declaration of a new relationship. The post reads as a break from the past and an intentional announcement of where he now stands personally.

That timing coincides with a critical period in his career.

“I’m just looking forward to the season and getting better and building my reputation,” he stated in early 2024.

Flowers has started 2025 much like he ended last season as one of the Ravens’ most reliable playmakers. He has 14 catches for 218 yards and a touchdown, averaging over 15 yards per reception.

He finished 2024 with 74 catches for 1,059 yards, earning Baltimore its first Pro Bowl nod by a WR.

Just over a year removed from controversy and unwanted headlines, Zay Flowers is now steering the narrative. He’s openly sharing a new chapter, using his platform to show he’s moving forward in all aspects of life.

Zay Flowers turns leaf on the past chapter

Much of the spotlight followed Flowers in early 2024, not just for his playmaking ability but also for his relationship with Ruby Antonioli.

Flowers was linked to a domestic incident in Acton, Massachusetts, on January 16, 2024.

The report, referenced by Baltimore County Police, alleged a “violent domestic incident” where Flowers’ brother reportedly drew a firearm.

Antonioli claimed to have photographs of bruises but did not share them with authorities. While no suspect was publicly named in the original report, Zay Flowers was tied to the case in media coverage.

Broadcastify audio on Jan. 16 recorded a tearful woman hanging up after calling 911 in distress, with the call traced to Flowers’ townhouse in a new Owings Mills neighborhood near the Ravens’ training complex, according to the dispatch and neighbors.

Baltimore County Police later suspended the investigation without charges, and two months after, the NFL announced,

“Following a review, the NFL concluded there was insufficient evidence to support a finding that Zay Flowers engaged in any activity that violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy. There will be no action taken by the league, and Flowers remains eligible to participate in all team activities.”

The episode kept making headlines, tying Antonioli’s name to public interest in Flowers’ private life. That resolution has ended the conjecture.
