Sarah Palin, the former governor of Alaska and 2008 Republican vice presidential candidate has confirmed that she's dating former NHL star Ron Duguay, according to a report by The Daily Beast.
The revelation came as Duguay showed his support for Palin during her defamation case against The New York Times. Rumors about their relationship were circulating for some time, but Duguay's confirmation has shed light on the speculated romance.
Palin, who divorced her husband of 31 years, Todd Palin, in 2019, has been in the public eye for her political career and conservative activism. Duguay, meanwhile, made a name for himself as a professional ice hockey player, notably with the New York Rangers. Since retiring from the sport, Duguay has been involved in various media and broadcasting roles.
Initially, Duguay referred to Palin as a friend and expressed his support for her during the trial. However, when asked about their relationship, he confirmed that they're indeed dating. The couple was seen leaving the Manhattan Federal Courthouse together, where Palin's defamation case is taking place, and later spotted enjoying a dinner in Little Italy.
The unexpected pairing of a former vice presidential candidate and a retired hockey star has garnered public and media attention, leading to speculation about the nature of their relationship and what drew them together.
While Palin focuses on her legal battle against The New York Times, her romantic involvement with Duguay has become an additional point of interest. Fans will eagerly await further details about this unexpected union between a former governor and a legend.
