Elena Yates, Mark Andrews’ girlfriend, publicly addresses the Ravens TE following the Chiefs’ heartbreaking loss to Patrick Mahomes’ team.
In the 2023 season, Mark Andrews did not exactly have it easy.
The starting tight end for the Baltimore Ravens was limited by injuries from the start, starting with a quad injury that prevented him from playing in the team’s season opener against the Houston Texans. After that, on a tackle by linebacker Logan Wilson in Week 11 against the Cincinnati Bengals, he suffered a broken fibula and injured his ankle. He had to have surgery, which kept him out of action until the team’s loss to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game last Sunday.
Nevertheless, Elena Yates, his girlfriend, posted the following on Instagram, seemingly unaffected by it:
“Loved watching you do what you do bestđź’śCan’t wait to be back & better than ever!! Until next season”

The dual-threat quarterback’s go-to passing target, breaking multiple team records and earning three Pro Bowls, is now Mark Andrews. Apart from the fact that he wears an insulin pump off the pitch and has diabetes, nothing much was known about his personal life until Elena Yates unexpectedly showed up with him. Who then is she?
Yates is a student at the College of Charleston, where she is pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Marketing and is a member of the Tri-Delta Sorority, according to her LinkedIn profile.
In addition, she worked as a part-time sales associate for the women’s fashion and lifestyle brand LoveShackFancy. Currently, she works as a freelance ambassador, promoting items on social media platforms. She has 21,000 Instagram followers and 100,000 TikTok followers.
She had made hints about her relationship with Andrews back in October in a TikTok video:
“…I’ve been going to a lot of football games.My boyfriend is a tight end on the Baltimore Ravens, which is fun… I don’t know what to say because it’s my first time talking about this.
“We’ve been dating for four months, like a week after I turned 21 we went out to dinner, it was great, [we] hit it off… My roommates and I, we watch his games every Sunday.”
