Packers Rookie Breaks Up with 0nlyFans Star Girlfriend Right After Making the 53-Man Roster

Published August 28, 2025

The Green Bay Packers are ramping up preparations for the 2025 regular season, settling roster battles and turning their focus to Week 1. But off the field, an unexpected story has drawn attention beyond football.

As the team zeroes in on defending its title, the personal lives of young players remain under the microscope. Dealing with fame, pressure, and outside distractions is simply part of life in Green Bay.

This week, one rookie made a decision to put his career above everything else. It wasn’t about a playbook check, receptions, or preseason targets—it was about personal priorities away from the field.

That rookie is Barryn Sorrell, who decided to end his relationship with his girlfriend — Emma Johnson, a 21-year-old OnlyFans and TikTok creator from California known for cosplay, bikini shoots, and lifestyle content.

She has built a following of around 50,000 across platforms, drawing mainly anime and gaming fans with a brand considered more “PG-friendly” than that of more explicit creators. Her rising profile brought increasing attention to Sorrell.

The young defensive end was candid about the breakup:

My top priority right now is to focus on building my career with the Packers. She brought too much noise—too many eyes on me—and I can’t marry someone whose body is out there for everyone to see. I need peace, I need focus—otherwise I’ll miss my chance and be left behind in Packers Nation.

Barryn Sorrell

Fans reacted quickly—some praised Sorrell for prioritizing football, while others expressed sympathy for his ex. The story highlights the thin line between private life and public scrutiny that rookies often face when entering the NFL.

For Sorrell, the decision comes as he embarks on his first season on Green Bay’s 53-man roster. In a locker room built on accountability and discipline, he’s sending a clear message: football comes first.

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
