Minnesota Vikings quarterback Christian Ponder confirmed that he is dating ESPN reporter Samantha Steele.

Ponder and Steele have only been dating approximately one month.

“The answer is yes,” Ponder said after the Vikings practice. 

“We’ve kind of been intentionally trying to keep it private. People are going to figure it out at some point. It’s not really that big of a deal."

Ponder and Steele met on the set of ESPN's College Game Day at a Florida State game.
