Will Levis’ ex Gia Duddy has something to say to WAGs at the 2026 NFL Draft | NFL News
Gia Duddy knows exactly what it’s like to be the girlfriend sitting in that room when the cameras are hunting for a reaction. She was there in Kansas City in 2023, watching Will Levis wait through round one, then slip into round two as the 33rd pick to the Tennessee Titans. The moment went viral, but not for the reasons most people expect from an NFL Draft story. Duddy’s expressions were everywhere. And now, with the 2026 Draft approaching, she has something to say about it.
What is Gia Duddy’s advice for WAGs ahead of NFL Draft?
Gia Duddy has stayed mostly quiet about that night, even as her social media following grew rapidly in its aftermath. But ahead of another draft cycle, she offered a candid reminder that the cameras rarely blink. Her message, shared previously on Instagram, mixes humor with a clear edge of caution.“I know I know what tonight is, but do you guys know what tonight is? It’s the Caudalie event, obviously so let’s get ready,” Duddy said. “I’m just messing with you guys, I know it’s the NFL draft, you guys actually won’t let me forget. But I do actually have an event with Caudalie so I do need to get ready. I feel like I’ve never really talked about the draft, and I don’t really like talking about it, just because it just genuinely wasn’t about me. So I just like never felt the need to speak on it, but I do wanna say is congratulations to all the hard-working men that are in this draft class.“Genuinely so excited for all of you, I know I have some friends in it this year, and for those who are attending, beware of your resting [expletive] face. Because the media loves media, and they will start a story that you’re just a [expletive]. So from one RBF to another, good luck.”What makes her advice valuable is the honesty behind it. As Levis waited longer than expected before the Tennessee Titans selected him at No. 33, every glance and expression from his table became content. Duddy, then a college student at Penn State University, found herself at the center of a narrative she did not shape.That experience has since informed her public presence. While her relationship with Levis, which began in 2021 and ended in 2023, is now part of the past, the lessons from that night have lingered. The draft is still about careers changing in real time, but the ecosystem around it has shifted. Cameras search for reactions as much as selections.Duddy’s advice is simple, but it reflects a broader truth. For partners in the room, the moment is shared, whether they want it or not. And in an era where clips travel faster than context, even a quiet expression can become a headline.
