- Miami QB Carson Beck has publicly commented on his breakup with social media influencer Hanna Cavinder.
- Beck told ESPN the public nature of the breakup has been difficult.
- Hanna Cavinder previously said she broke up with Beck because of his behavior.
Miami football quarterback Carson Beck has broken his silence regarding his public breakup with Hanna Cavinder.
‘You make mistakes as a person, but it sucks that you have to go through something like that with someone that you care about, and now it’s all over the Internet,’ Beck told ESPN. ‘Half of what you see in the media is true. Half of what you see is not true. So, people pick their side of the story and run with it. The people that know the truth know the truth. But it’s been difficult.’
The 6-foot-4 quarterback entered the NCAA transfer portal on Jan. 9 and announced his transfer to the Hurricanes one day later on Jan. 10, two decisions that came just weeks after he originally declared for the NFL draft.
With his transfer from Athens to Coral Gables, Beck moved in with Cavinder, who was finishing her second season with the Hurricanes’ women’s basketball team as a graduate student. The breakup between Beck and Cavinder happened after the two had their 2023 Mercedes-Benz E635 and 2025 Range Rover stolen from the house they shared.
‘Obviously, the University of Miami is an amazing campus and I think it was the best decision for him,’ Cavinder told ESPN’s Christine Williamson on ‘SportsCenter’ in February on Beck transferring to Miami. ‘… I’m super excited for him and to be able to watch him play.’
Beck’s comments to ESPN on his breakup with Cavinder are the first comments from both of them since Cavinder confirmed it in a video posted to President Donald Trump’s granddaughter, Kai Trump’s YouTube channel, according to the New York Post. Cavinder and her twin sister, Haley, ran into Kai Trump at a UFC event in Miami.
As noted in the New York Post article, Hanna Cavinder told Kai Trump in the video that the reason she broke up with Beck was because of how he acted around others. She referenced a trip to Nashville they took with Haley and her fiancé, Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson, as an example of this.
‘He’d like flip people off at the bar and I’d be embarrassed,’ Hanna Cavinder said in the clip. ‘… I broke up with him and all these cheating (expletive) came out. I had no idea. I didn’t break up with him cause he was cheating, I broke up with him because of who he was.’
In four games at Miami, Beck has bounced back nicely from his underwhelming season last year at Georgia – which ended with a season-ending UCL injury in the SEC championship game – with 972 passing yards and seven touchdown passes with the Hurricanes.
Beck and No. 3 Miami travel to No. 19 Florida State on Saturday, Oct. 4 for a 7:30 p.m. ET kickoff at Doak Campbell Stadium in Tallahassee, Florida.
