Mya Lesnar, daughter of WWE icon Brock Lesnar and accomplished shot putter, recently showed her support for her boyfriend Drew Moss, who plays as a guard for the San Francisco 49ers. Lesnar shared a video on Instagram featuring Moss rallying the crowd during a practice session, demonstrating his role in building excitement for the team ahead of their August 10 game against the Denver Broncos.
The connection between Lesnar and Moss became public a few weeks ago when they both confirmed their relationship on social media. Moss shared photos of them together, captioning one post simply, “Forever wedding date❤”, signaling their commitment to each other.
On the athletic front, Mya Lesnar recently competed in the Eugene Prefontaine Classic, part of the Wanda Diamond League, where she finished tenth with a best shot put distance of 18.23 meters.
Mya Lesnar Reflects on the Challenges of Living in Her Father’s Shadow
At 23, Mya Lesnar is establishing her identity in track and field, particularly in shot put. She has spoken candidly about the pressure of being the daughter of one of wrestling’s biggest stars. In a June 2024 interview with The Denver Post, she acknowledged her father’s unwavering support while expressing her desire to be recognized for her own achievements.
“I think I’ve been in his shadow for so many years, which is cool I guess but honestly, to me, at the end of the day, what I want people to know is he’s dad to me. I honestly don’t look at him as this superstar of a person. Him just being in my corner and now me kind of being in the spotlight and him in my shadow a little bit, watching me, I think that’s super cool.”
She also shared a significant lesson her father taught her about success and humility, learned after winning her NCAA title:
“Right after I won my NCAA title he was like, ‘Take it all in, enjoy it. And then, you know, put it away. And, you know, we move on.’ At first I was like, ‘What do you mean? I have been literally dreaming about this day and it was such an incredible moment.’ Then I kind of thought about it… that is kind of just how life happens — you win some, you lose some and it’s important to recognize all the hard work that you have put in. I think the biggest thing that he has taught me is, ‘Do not let your trophies or anything that you’ve done change you as a person’.”
Looking Ahead: Brock Lesnar’s Potential WWE Return
Meanwhile, Brock Lesnar himself is considering a strong comeback in the WWE scene after not competing in a match since 2023. As Mya advances her own career in athletics and supports Moss in the NFL, both father and daughter continue to make headlines in their respective sports.
Mya Lesnar’s support of Drew Moss during the 49ers’ training sessions highlights not only her connection to professional athletics beyond track and field, but also underscores a growing story of young athletes creating their own legacies while staying true to family roots.
