ESPN broadcaster Holly Rowe is among the faces who are seen at marquee WNBA, women’s college basketball and college football games on the network.

The longtime ESPN employee shed some light on her personal life during an appearance at the Little Rock Touchdown Club in Arkansas. She recalled dating a bodybuilder who was a Mr. Switzerland champion and revealed why the relationship didn’t pan out.

“I had a really hot boyfriend, and he was Mr. Switzerland, bodybuilder,” she said. “We dated for four years. And when I say smoking hot … And the reason we broke up was we were at the ESPYs and Pat Summitt had just gotten this award, the Arthur Ashe Courage Award, because she had just been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s. And I’m in the audience, and I’m just bawling in the audience, and he asked me, ‘What’s wrong with you? She’s just a coach.’

“And so, we broke up,” Rowe continued. “So I just need you to understand I gave up Mr. Switzerland because of Pat Summitt. This is a true story.”
