Austin Reaves Dating Rumor Debunked: No Proof, Old Accusation, and Clear Signs He’s Still with His Girlfriend
Rumors can travel fast online — but not all of them hold up under even basic scrutiny. The latest buzz claiming Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves is romantically involved with Celina Smith, the former girlfriend of YouTuber SteveWillDoIt, doesn’t match what’s publicly verifiable.
Based on available evidence, Reaves is still openly connected to his longtime girlfriend, Jenna Barber. Both continue to follow each other on social media, and recent posts suggest they are very much together. One notable photo shared by Barber shows her embracing Reaves, captioned “A post-surgery, pre-game Christmas,” referencing a past medical procedure during her chiropractic studies. That post alone directly contradicts claims that Reaves has moved on or is secretly involved with someone else.
The rumor itself isn’t new. It traces back to a November 2025 Instagram story posted by SteveWillDoIt, who alleged that Reaves had made advances toward his then-girlfriend. The post was broad, emotional, and framed more as a general complaint about public figures receiving attention online rather than as a presentation of evidence. While some outlets covered the story at the time, no messages, photos, or third-party confirmations were ever produced. The current wave of chatter appears to be nothing more than that old accusation resurfacing through recycled posts.
Importantly, no new information has emerged to support the claim. There have been no confirmations from Reaves, no independent reporting, and no credible documentation linking him to Smith. Meanwhile, Reaves has been sidelined with a left calf injury, and neither he nor the Lakers have addressed any off-court controversy related to his personal life.
In short, the viral claim lacks proof and conflicts with visible, recent social-media activity showing Reaves and Barber still together. Until verifiable, independent evidence appears, the story remains internet speculation — not established fact.
