According to Lawrence, the pair's relationship was "on and off for some time." "Then, once we started college, it became very serious," said the professional athlete in an interview with Us in February 2023.

Throughout his three years at Clemson University in South Carolina, the Heisman Trophy candidate remained in a relationship with his high school sweetheart.
