When San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones posted graduation photos with former sports medicine intern Sophie Scott on Instagram in January 2021, a commentator speculated on the timeline for their love story, saying, “I’ll give it 4 years. And that’s at best.” After March 2025, there were no new photos of Jones with Scott. “NEWS: San Francisco #49ers Pro Bowl QB Mac Jones and his long-time girlfriend Sophie Scott have reportedly BROKEN UP. Scott is a former college cheerleader and model whom Mac has been dating since their days at the University of Alabama in 2019. Mac is reportedly on the market,” reported MLFootball on X.
Mac Jones and Sophie Scott Breakup Signs
The most telling sign of a relationship or breakup in today’s time is social media presence. Mac Jones’ last appearance on Sophie Scott’s Instagram was in March 2025. Then, in June 2025, Scott shared a photo with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce, which could mean Jones was around her at the time but not in the photos with her. However, when the 2025 season started, Sophie did not post any game-day photos on Instagram, as she did during the 2024 season. In her December 2025 Instagram post, a commentator asked, “You’re very pretty. Are you and Mac still together?” Other commentators replied, “I don’t think so, she doesn’t post him anymore or on game days,” and “my guess is he waited too long to put a ring on her finger.”
Eight Years of Commitment
They had been dating for eight long years, a whole lot of commitment. Mac and Sophie began dating in 2019. She had been the biggest fan of Jones’ career. When he declared for the 2021 NFL Draft, she wrote on Instagram, “I’m so proud of you for following your dreams and declaring for the 2021 NFL Draft. I’m so excited to see where the next chapter takes us.” This support remained constant throughout game days in the 2024 NFL season. But in the 2025 season, there was no game-day presence, one clue of a breakup right there.
Are Mac Jones and Sophie Scott Still Together?
Two days ago, Mac Jones posted a few snapshots on his Instagram detailing his partnership for a youth football event in his hometown of Jacksonville, Florida. A commentator wrote on the post, “We want [Sophie Scott] back.” Even today, there’s speculation about Jones and Scott. People want to know if they are together. Reports of them splitting after eight long years are still circulating on the internet because the report came out in March 2026, and it has been two months today; there is still no confirmation from either party about the split. However, keeping their photos in Instagram’s memories directory could signal something else. Heavy Sports’ Erik Anderson reports that some couples keep older photos even after a split, while some archive them quickly. There is no universal rule to link the absence of photos to a breakup.
Privacy or Breakup?
Even if the couple is not posting any photos together, it could mean they are prioritizing privacy, are on an off-season, or simply posting less. With the last linked photo dating back to June 2025, the question still remains whether they have broken up or are still together. Without a clear statement or verified reporting from a credible source, there is no answer to the split rumors.
