Olympic Rugby player Ilona Maher is currently single. In previous interviews, she’s discussed the possibility of dating. But at the moment, she’s just too busy for romance.

Definitely have some work to do: be nicer to men being the main issue here,” Ilona captioned her Instagram video. 

“Joey teaching me to be the next bachelorette cause y’all keep spreading these rumors,” she wrote over the footage. In the video, Joey tells Ilona he’s going to show her the ropes. He hands her a rose and tells her to pretend she’s at the rose ceremony.

“Thank you all for coming. This has been so fun. And you all are beautiful. But I don’t like all of you,” Ilona pretends to tell her contestants. Joey corrects her and tells her to work on the ending. Then they move on to the rose part.

“Joey. Your vibe has been terrible this whole time. I just don’t know if you’re for me,” the Olympian tells him as she calls him up to take a rose.

“Why would you say that if you’re giving me a rose?” Joey jokes back.
