High-school beginnings: where their story started

Drew Allar and Emma Bush met as students at Medina High School in Medina, Ohio. The two became close during their time there and began dating in 2019. They attended school events together, including homecoming and prom, and graduated in 2022 before choosing different colleges.

Different campuses, same support

After high school, Allar committed to Penn State, where he plays quarterback for the Nittany Lions. Bush enrolled at Ohio State University, studying strategic communications and pre-law. She has interned at a Columbus law firm and written for Ohio State’s student newspaper, The Lantern.

Despite attending rival schools, the couple has maintained a steady relationship. Bush joined a Tri Delta sorority at Ohio State, and Allar has attended some campus events with her, including Tri Delta’s spring formal.

Long-distance routine

Emma Bush frequently travels the roughly 325 miles from Ohio to Pennsylvania to watch Allar play at Beaver Stadium. She has been a visible supporter at both his high school and college games, sharing photos and captions like “Saturdays >” from game days.

Public moments and family support

The pair regularly appear in each other’s social media posts, and their families have shown support publicly—for example, Allar’s mother reacted warmly to photos from Bush’s spring formal. These small public moments underline a long-term relationship that began in high school and continued through college choices on rival campuses.

On the field: Allar’s 2025 season and injury

Allar’s college career rose quickly after a standout high-school run. In 2024–25 he helped lead Penn State to the College Football Playoffs semifinals. During the 2025 season Allar suffered an injury in October, which led to him being sidelined for a period. Penn State later played Clemson in the Pinstripe Bowl on December 27, 2025.

Emma’s role off the field

While Allar focuses on football, Bush builds her own path in communications and law. Her internships, reporting experience, and campus life at Ohio State reflect a parallel career track that complements their relationship, rather than competing with it.

Where things stand now

The couple remains together and publicly supportive. Their story is a familiar one in college sports: two young people who grew up together, chose different campuses, and continue to navigate long-distance life while supporting careers—one on the field and one pursuing studies and early professional experience.
