This story gained traction because the NY Post wrote a piece on them claiming she is his “gal pal”. Her name came up because she is one of the Top 24 finalists on American Idol. Janell is a very good country singer and is of very strong faith just like Tim. I don’t know where the NY Post got their info that she is his girlfriend … maybe they just saw a picture of them together and came up with their conclusion. Here’s a video of Janell on American Idol.

We had a comment posted on the original Janell Wheeler – Tim Tebow Girlfriend post almost a year ago from Taylor who claimed he knows both Janell and Tim.

I know both of them. She hosted a Gainesville TV show and had the same group of friends as Tim. Shes not a random, they were actually friends. Just friends though, so don’t be mean. She is a sweet girl.

So I’m not exactly sure what is going on. It’s possible that when the pictures were taken that Janell and Tim were just friends and now over the course of a year or two they’ve developed a relationship. Who knows? I don’t have any confirmation if she is in fact Tim’s girlfriend. What we do know is they are at least close friends, share a common faith and have been photographed together. If you know anything more, please post a comment to help clear things up.

Here are the only two know photos of them together.

Who is luckier in this picture? Tim Tebow… or the blond on his arm? Generally if you see a guy with a woman more attractive then him, you’ll say… “oh man that guy is so lucky”. That’s not necessarily the case when it comes to Tim Tebow. Any woman would consider herself extremely lucky to have Tebow’s arm around them.

I doubt she’s a new girlfriend… this girl is probably a student at UF and just a big fan of Tim. If we see more pictures of these two together, then we can start thinking ‘relationship’.

How does she compare you the other prospective Tim Tebow girlfriends?
