Throughout their relationship, Haqq rarely spoke about McCray, but she opened up in 2019 about how the sports star initially caught her eye.

“I was very attracted to his stature and the fact that he’s this 6’7 at the time, 260 [lbs.], large, Black, adorable man,” she said on Kin’s Side By Side at the time. “And he would put on tights every Sunday and cleats and crack quarterbacks for a living. I thought that was amazing.”
