Fans convinced Johnny Manziel is dating ex-MLB star’s daughter after spotting hand tattoo in airplane pic

It appears there could be a new lady in Johnny Manziel’s life.

That’s according to TMZ, which suggested the former NFL quarterback was seen getting close to model Josie Canseco, the daughter of controversial ex-MLB star Jose Canseco, aboard a recent JetBlue flight.

In a photo shared Tuesday on her Instagram Stories, the 27-year-old Canseco is seen highlighting her Alo sneakers next to a passenger, which the entertainment site speculated to be Manziel, 31, citing his hand tattoos and a red and white friendship bracelet.

Manziel sported a similar style brackelet in an older photograph, according to the outlet.

The alleged sighting comes less than two months after Manziel and Canseco took part in Travis Scott’s Cactus Jack Foundation HBCU Celebrity Softball Classic in February.

Canseco’s father, a two-time World Series champion, six-time MLB All-Star and admitted steroid user, also participated in the festivities.

Before being linked to Canseco, Manziel dated beauty specialist Kenzie Werner, with the two being photographed on occasion in 2022.

He was previously married to “Selling Sunset” star Bri Tiesi. The pair quietly wed in 2018 and finalized their divorce three years later.

Canseco was once involved with Logan Paul and Brody Jenner.

A former college football sensation, Manziel shot to fame as Texas A&M’s star quarterback in 2012, becoming the first freshman to win the Heisman Trophy.

Though Manziel took his talents to the NFL, where he was selected 22nd overall by the Browns in the 2014 draft, he flamed out of the league after two scandal-riddled seasons, one of which included a controversial misadventure to Las Vegas in 2016.

Manziel was cut by the Browns that same year.

Two years after his NFL ouster, Manziel spoke candidly in a 2018 “Good Morning America” interview about his struggles with substance abuse and his bipolar diagnosis.

Manziel was recently profiled in the Netflix documentary “Untold: Johnny Football,” telling filmmakers, “I’m very much on the pursuit of happiness in a way more simplistic form than I was years ago.”

A request for comment from Manziel was not immediately returned to The Post, and a rep for Canseco did not comment.
