The mystery blonde who was spotted out with Anthony Volpe on Monday night has been identified, all while folks are still trying to put a name to the face of the Phillies “Karen” who bullied a family into giving her a home run ball last Friday.

The Yankees star, currently in his third season with the team, has been struggling so far this season and has been treated to boos from his own fans.

He went viral this week after attending a silent auction hosted by the Carlos Rodon Foundation in Delamar Greenwhich Harbor in Greenwhich, Connecticut, arriving with a date who got everyone talking after a video hit Twitter/X.

Anthony’s mystery date has since been ID’d as Elle Jowett.

Jowett grew up in Maine but later moved to New York and has close to 16,000 followers on Instagram, which should increase following her night out with the Yankees star.

Interestingly, Elle claimed she wouldn’t date Italians in late 2023.

“I was dating an Italian guy for a year and he was still talking to other girls,” she said.

It appears she may have backtracked on that, given that she might be dating Anthony Volpe. Neither of them has commented on their viral appearance together, but it’s probably safe to assume that the 2023 Golden Glove winner hasn’t been friend-zoned.

Meanwhile, the player has received some advice and encouragement from Derek Jeter amid claims that fans have lost faith in him because of his bad form.

“You just gotta keep at it. You gotta stay positive. Gotta keep working. From everything I’ve seen, he’s gotten a lot of support from his teammates and from the front office. That’s a good sign. So, you just gotta go out there and try to be as consistent as possible,” Jeter said.

The 80-63 Yankees will play the 82-62 Detroit Tigers this Tuesday evening. It will be interesting to see how Volpe does.

All About the NCIS Spinoff Tony & Ziva , Including One Detail That Calls Back to the Early Tiva Days

What’s the Buzz About the New Tony & Ziva Spinoff?

If you’ve been part of the NCIS fandom for more than a hot minute, you already know that Tony DiNozzo and Ziva David—affectionately known as Tiva—were the heart and soul of the show for years. And now? They’re back with their own spinoff. Yep, it’s real, and it’s happening. Fans have waited over a decade for closure, and this spinoff promises not just that but so much more.

A Quick Refresher: Who Are Tony and Ziva?

Before we dive into the juicy spinoff details, let’s hit rewind for a sec. Tony DiNozzo (Michael Weatherly) was the charming, wise-cracking NCIS Special Agent. Ziva David (Cote de Pablo) was the badass Mossad operative turned NCIS agent. Their chemistry? Off the charts. For years, fans watched as the two danced around their feelings, forming one of TV’s most slow-burn, emotionally charged romances.

Why Did They Leave NCIS in the First Place?

Both characters exited the original show years ago. Ziva was presumed dead, and Tony left the agency to raise their daughter, Tali. It wasn’t until seasons later that Ziva returned—very much alive—and fans got a glimmer of hope for a proper reunion. But it never quite happened… until now.

What’s the Title of the Spinoff?

The show’s working title is NCIS: Europe (subject to change), and it’s more than just a crime drama. It’s an emotional, globe-trotting journey that picks up with Tony and Ziva raising Tali while running a private security firm. Think: crime-solving meets co-parenting with some unresolved romantic tension on the side.

Who’s Behind the Series?

Michael Weatherly and Cote de Pablo are not just reprising their roles—they’re also executive producers. That means they’re hands-on with the storytelling. This isn’t just fan service—it’s fan respect.
