The New Orleans Saints selected Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He started six games for the team in his rookie season, and now, after Derek Carr’s retirement, Rattler will be competing for the QB1 spot.
Does Spencer Rattler Have a Girlfriend?
Gonzalez is the woman who’s been linked to the South Carolina product as he prepares for his second NFL season.
She happens to be an athlete herself. Gonzalez played volleyball for Pinnacle High and later Scottsdale Community College in the 2019-2020 season. Much like Rattler, Gonzalez tried doing her part in promoting herself to prospective coaches by uploading her highlights on YouTube. While playing close to the net, Gonzalez pounded 344 kills and added 312 digs at the junior college level.
She and Rattler both share Scottsdale ties, too. Rattler grew up and starred at the high school level in the same region of Gonzalez.
Her collegiate career came to a halt after SCC, but she’s grown popular on social media with more than 18,000 Instagram followers and over 4,000 TikTok followers. She’s become known for posting beach photos and workout videos.
Gonzalez has one more social media account which shares her support of Rattler. That’s her X (formerly known as Twitter) handle. However, her followers — fewer than 750 — are not as robust as her other accounts.
A Look at Rattler and Gonzalez’s Relationship Timeline
Rattler and Gonzalez have kept a rather low profile when it comes to their relationship. They come off as the kind of couple who don’t post every day, with their last public photo surfacing this past Valentine’s Day.
Rattler helped treat Gonzalez to a candlelit dinner that the former JUCO volleyball player captured. She took to her personal Instagram to post a story of her night out — which features an appearance from the Gamecocks passer himself clad in black and a necklace.
It appears Rattler settled for water but helped take a bite out of a tasty dessert at the unknown venue.
The two have been together for more than 10 years — meaning Rattler’s relationship with her began in 2014 when both were Pinnacle High freshmen.
The couple have stayed together throughout Rattler’s time as a collegiate star on the gridiron. That includes his brief run with the University of Oklahoma.
Was Gonzalez Featured in the Netflix Documentary That Starred Rattler?
Before Rattler became known as an intriguing NFL Draft prospect under center, he rose to fame in the world of Netflix. He was among the high-profile prep quarterbacks featured in “QB1: Beyond The Lights,” which chronicled his senior season at Pinnacle.
Gonzalez was indeed a part of the documentary series. The show shined a light on not only Rattler’s much-debated practice habits and interaction with his teammates but also showed his life off the field — including spending time with his parents and Gonzalez.

In the 10+ years since their freshman year at Pinnacle, Gonzalez has remained a loyal, supportive girlfriend of Rattler while building her brand on social media. She’s likely going to have cameras on her during the moment Rattler learns his NFL fate.
Previewing Saints vs. Chargers Preseason Week 1 Matchup
As the battle for the Saints’ QB1 spot heats up, both Tyler Shough and Rattler will get enough opportunities to impress in the preseason.
Rattler is expected to start in the Week 1 preseason game against the Los Angeles Chargers, but it wouldn’t surprise many if the Saints’ rookie also gets some reps.
The Chargers are coming off a win in the Pro Football Hall of Fame Game against the Detroit Lions. However, they suffered a significant loss this past week.
Star left tackle Rashawn Slater suffered a season-ending injury, and he will be a massive miss for Jim Harbaugh’s team, who are viewed as a Super Bowl contender. They will hope no other players get hurt before the start of the season.
