Major League Baseball pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver and fashion model Josie Canseco appear to have ended their relationship, according to reports published by the New York Post. Speculation regarding the split intensified after both figures removed photographs of each other from their respective Instagram accounts.
Instagram Profiles Cleared of Couple Content
The separation rumors surfaced after fans noticed that Josie Canseco, a 29-year-old Victoria’s Secret model and daughter of former baseball player José Canseco, deleted all images featuring Smith-Shawver from her social media feed. According to reports from the New York Post, the model also refrained from publicly commenting on her partner’s recent athletic appearance.
AJ Smith-Shawver, a 23-year-old pitcher for the Atlanta Braves, mirrored the move by clearing pictures of Canseco from his own Instagram profile. Despite scrubbing the joint posts, the athlete remains among the model’s more than 1.1 million followers on the platform.
Timeline of the Relationship
The pair first connected in 2025, marking their one-year anniversary in May with a shared digital post that featured a 20-image gallery celebrating their time together. Captioned with the phrase “One year with you,” the now-deleted post drew supportive comments from members of the athlete’s family, including Smith-Shawver’s mother, Laurie.
Representatives for Josie Canseco did not respond to inquiries seeking comment on the status of the relationship, as reported by the New York Post.
Athletic Context and Prior Public Profiles
The social media changes coincided with Smith-Shawver returning to the mound for the Atlanta Braves for only his second appearance of the season, following an athletic operation earlier in the week.
Canseco’s previous high-profile relationships include past public pairings with professional football player Johnny Manziel, media personality Logan Paul, model Brody Jenner, and musician Mike Stud.
Neither Smith-Shawver nor Canseco has issued a formal public statement regarding the reported split.
