Johnny Manziel and Colleen Calway first met after being introduced by mutual friends. At the time, she was only a sophomore at Texas Christian University. "We went to a dinner together [with friends] and just clicked," the model recounted of their first meeting to the New York Post. Given their instant connection, Manziel and Calway soon found themselves entangled in a summer fling. Their whirlwind romance, however, became more serious after Manziel asked Calway to be his girlfriend. "He [said], 'I want you to come up [to Cleveland] every weekend [or] I'll come down there,'" Calway told The Post.

In total, Manziel and Calway were together for 14 months. While this might seem like a short time, it was long enough for the model to witness the athlete's transformation from a sweet, loving boyfriend to an unfaithful partner struggling with substance abuse. Finally, in January 2016, Calway broke up with Manziel, having caught him in a lie two months prior. Despite their attempt to patch things up, their relationship was never the same. She said he broke down in tears, but "it was just fake crying," and she had grown used to seeing it.

Though neither Manziel nor Calway spoke about their split at the time, the model soon came forward with disturbing claims about their time together.
