‘DWTS’ Does Ilona Maher Get Men Sliding In Her DMs?
DWTS Season 33 contestant Ilona Maher isn’t just a phenomenal Rugby player and Olympian. During her time in the ballroom, she also strives to show that she’s also feminine and body-positive.
Right now, the 28-year-old is single. But she might be open to romance if the right person comes along.
Ilona Maher Dishes On Who’s Really Sliding Into Her DMs
Right now, Ilona Maher’s DMs are wide open for potential suitors. But in a new interview with PEOPLE, she shared that eligible men rarely message her.
“It’s all very positive moms that are like, ‘I love what you’ve done for my daughter,’ and I’m like, ‘Where’s the NFL players? I thought there’d be more. No billionaires in here?’” she joked in the interview.
When asked about her dating life, Ilona admitted that she hasn’t been on a date in years. PEOPLE reports that the Olympian has been so busy she just hasn’t had time to think about romance. But the idea does intrigue her.
“I was heading home from rehearsal, and I saw these people going out to bars, and I was like, ‘I’m young, I should be going out meeting people, talking to hot people,” she shared, adding the feeling quickly faded. “I was like, ‘I’ve got to get to my couch, I’m tired, I’m doing too much.’”
But when Ilona does fall in love, she has a checklist for her future partner.

“I recently was told by a man, ‘You flirt by making fun.’ I hear that, but I think it’s also just like I flirt and then you come back with something, and it’s like a back-and-forth that I really like, that sort of banter, I guess,” the DWTS contestant added.
But she also needs someone who can handle her success and show support in all her endeavors.
“I’ve never really had somebody who’s come to my rugby games,” Ilona said. “Somebody who’s really proud to see me shine and wants me to keep growing — someone who shows me off.”
The Rugby Player Had A Scary Experience With A Man Recently
Although Ilona Maher is open to dating, she’s being cautious around men who make her uncomfortable. On TikTok, the Olympian opened up about a negative experience with a strange man at a nail salon.
After receiving a pedicure, salon workers asked Ilona to stick around for a little bit until an unnerving man in the salon left. When Ilona went outside, the man asked if he could go home with her, which she promptly turned down.

As much as the Rugby player would love to find romance someday, she wants to steer clear of uncomfortable men.
