Chelsea Cooley, born in Mint Hill and an Independence High School grad, is rumored to be dating Joe Mauer of the Minnesota Twins. Mauer, whose Twins played the Chicago White Sox last night for a chance to reach the playoffs, was the American League batting champion two of the last three seasons. Cooley has appeared on David Letterman and Deal or no Deal in addition to winning Miss USA in 2005. She now is a partner in Standout Productions, a leadership consulting firm.
Cooley and Mauer have not offically announced they are dating, but the chatter on Twins message boards would suggest they are an item.
Last year, former Butler student and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Brooklyn Decker began dating tennis superstar Andy Roddick.
The Mauer rumour is years old… Chelsea is engaged and will be married (to someone else, obviously) in October.
ehh… attractive )
She is actually smart too, it will be a good couple.
