The Enigma of Shea Patterson: Camille's Ex-Boyfriend

Shea became a quarterback in the United States Football League (USFL) for the New Orleans Breakers after leaving the Michigan Panthers. The American football player once represented the Kansas City Chiefs after he was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2020. However, he was waived off later that year in July. Camille reportedly met Shea while both were students at the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss). At the time, Shea was a famous quarterback for the university.

Shea and Camille dated between 2016 and 2017 and were very public about their relationship. Camille attended his games frequently and famously kissed him after his second-half comeback heroics in a win over Texas A&M. On June 23, 2017, the two were together to celebrate Camille’s birthday, and she posted a picture of them on Facebook with the caption, “Thanks for spending my birthday with me. I love you very much! Shea Patterson.' Besides that post, Shea and Camille showed off one another multiple times on social media. The couple once visited Horn Island in 2016. They also attended an ugly Christmas sweater party together that same year.
