Haley Kalil is opening up about what she calls the “unfortunate part” of her skyrocketing fame — the nonstop online fixation on her past marriage to former Carolina Panthers offensive tackle Matt Kalil.
Though she has built a massive following through modeling, red-carpet appearances and online content, Haley revealed that her divorce continues to follow her everywhere, even years after the split. She explained that the constant stream of comments, assumptions and attacks about her ex-husband has become one of the hardest parts of her public life.
Haley described how people online often reduce her achievements and career growth to her former marriage, despite her now being independently successful. She added that the negativity can be overwhelming and frustrating, especially when strangers weaponize her past relationship as a way to undermine her current accomplishments.
The influencer emphasized that while she understands public curiosity, the level of scrutiny and harshness has been disproportionate and unfair. She stated that her life is far more than the “NFL divorce headline” people cling to, and she hopes followers will eventually allow her story to move beyond that chapter.
For now, Haley continues to reshape her public image on her own terms — focusing on career opportunities, entertainment work, and building her brand, while acknowledging that judgment over her past remains the most “unfortunate part” of her journey.
