While the Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is sweating to help defend the national title, his girlfriend Gabrielle is enjoying time with her adorable black-and-white pup named “Little Luna.”
On Wednesday, Gabrielle was captured sharing a candid moment with the dog while at the local farmers market. The wholesome moment featured Gabrielle gently petting the dog while cradling a colorful bouquet of fresh flowers. Gabrielle was in a stylish off-white long-sleeve top with embroidery on the sleeves, paired with high-waisted light-wash jeans. She also carried a sleek black handbag slung over her shoulder.

Like Sayin, Gabrielle is also an athlete. She played collegiate softball at Gardner-Webb in February 2024 and later played for East Tennessee State.

Julian Sayin & Girlfriend Gabrielle Turn Heads at Concert
In June, Julian Sayin took some time off from training and attended Megan Moroney concert at Ohio Stadium as part of Buckeye Country Superfest with his girlfriend and former Gardner-Webb softball player Gabrielle Fowler.
Gabrielle posted glimpses from the event, including a selfie with the quarterback and a clip from the concert.

Both Sayin and Gabrielle hail from Carlsbad, California, and have been together since high school. Over the offseason, the couple was spotted hiking at Torrey Pines in California. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in early February 2025.
Meanwhile, on the football front, Ohio State fans will know if Julian Sayin will be leading under the center in the 2025 season. In the last update on the QB1 battle, head coach Ryan Day said that there is tough competition between Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz for the job. While the latter is more familiar with the offense of Ohio State, analysts expect Sayin to get the starting nod for the season opener against Texas on Aug. 30.
RotoWire projects Sayin’s 2025 stats to be around 3,000+ passing yards, 27 TDs and eight INTs, in addition to four rushing TDs.
Julian Sayin received massive praise from former Alabama football coach Nick Saban ahead of his first season as a starter.
“Julian’s a great young man,” Saban said. “I think he’s getting bigger and stronger, but he’s got really good touch, really good accuracy, good judgment. He’s a really good young player.”
OSU enters the season as early national title favorites. But in order to do so, the former five-star recruit needs to deliver like Will Howard did last season. The Buckeyes will be facing stiff competition from the likes of the Oregon Ducks and the Penn State Nittany Lions in the Big Ten conference.
