Penn State University quarterback Drew Allar’s No. 1 fan is his longtime girlfriend, Emma Bush.
The couple have been together since at least 2019, when they were students at Medina High School in Ohio, according to Instagram. Despite attending different colleges — Allar plays football at Penn State and Bush is a pre-law student at Ohio State University — they’ve successfully navigated a long-distance relationship.
In his third year at Penn State, Allar has led his team to the semifinals of the 2024-25 College Football Playoffs. They will face Notre Dame in Miami on Jan. 9, and the winner will advance to the College Football Championship on Jan. 20.
“Love you so much,” Bush wrote in the comment section of one of Allar’s Instagram posts following Penn State’s quarterfinal win over Boise State on Dec. 31. The quarterback responded, “I love you too.”
So who is Drew Allar’s girlfriend? Here’s everything to know about Emma Bush and her relationship with the Nittany Lion.
She and Allar are high school sweethearts
Bush and Allar both attended Medina High School in Medina, Ohio — a small city just outside of Cleveland.
They have been dating since at least 2019 and were each other’s dates to several school dances, including homecoming in 2021 and prom in 2022.
Allar and Bush graduated from high school in 2022 and chose to attend different colleges. The quarterback committed to Penn State, while Bush selected nearby Ohio State.
She attends Ohio State
Bush is a junior at Ohio State studying strategic communications and business. According to her LinkedIn page, she is pre-law and had an internship at Clark & Lowe Attorneys At Law in Columbus, Ohio.
She is also a reporter for Ohio State’s campus newspaper, The Lantern.
She is in a sorority
During her freshman year at Ohio State, Bush joined Tri Delta.
“Ran home to the 229,” she wrote on Instagram after receiving her sorority bid in January 2023.
A few months later, Allar joined Bush in Ohio for Tri Delta’s spring formal. She shared photos from the evening on Instagram, including a cute selfie of the couple.
“Love this!” Allar’s mom, Dawn, wrote in the comment section.
She’s attended several of Allar’s high school and college football games
Bush has been Allar’s biggest fan since their high school days in Medina. She now frequently makes the 325-mile trip from Ohio to Pennsylvania to watch her beau play at Beaver Stadium.
In October 2022, during Allar’s first season as a Nittany Lion, Bush shared a photo of her hugging the quarterback before a game.
“Saturdays >,” she captioned the sweet image on Instagram. Allar responded in the comments with a “🫶🏼” emoji.
She’s been supporting Allar throughout the College Football Playoffs
Allar has led the Nittany Lions to the 2024-25 College Football Playoffs. After finishing the regular season 11-2, they defeated Southern Methodist University in the first round before securing a quarterfinal win over Boise State at the Vrbo Fiesta Bowl in Arizona, which Bush proudly attended.
Now, Penn State faces Notre Dame in the Capital One Orange Bowl on Jan. 9. Ahead of the game, Bush was already soaking up the sun in Miami, per her Instagram Stories.
