Nelly Korda Reveals the American Artist Her Father Secretly Wanted Her to End Up With —Here’s The Name That Shocked Fans Worldwide
In a surprising and lighthearted moment during a recent interview, Nelly Korda opened up about an unexpected part of her personal life — her father’s secret wish for who she would one day date. And no, it wasn’t a fellow golfer or an athlete.
“My dad used to joke that he always saw me ending up with someone like Bruno Mars,” Korda said, laughing.
“He said he liked his energy, his talent, and that he’d bring ‘good music into the family.’”
The confession instantly caught fans off guard, with many taking to social media to express their surprise and amusement. Some even began imagining the unlikely pairing and sharing AI-generated photos and mashups of the two.
Nelly clarified that while it was never serious, her dad genuinely admired Bruno Mars as an artist and thought his charisma and “classy style” made him the ideal kind of guy for his daughter.
“It was more of a running family joke than anything,” she explained. “But he did bring it up a lot… before I met my boyfriend.”
While she didn’t name her current partner in the interview, fans were quick to comment that her father must have eventually approved, even if it wasn’t Bruno.
