American Footballer Michael Oher is one of the most renowned NFL stars, through his playing career as well as for the Hollywood adaption of his life in the big screens. Despite Michael's massive struggle growing up with a terrible childhood, he managed to make a huge name for himself.

Furthermore, the book based on his life 'The Blind Side: Evolution of a Game' and the subsequent movie 'The Blind Side' based on the book were released in 2006 and 2009 respectively.

Neither of them talks about his love life. The American football star seems like a person who prefers not to spill his relationship status to public knowledge.

We can conclude that Michael prefers not to talk about his relationships even if he has any.
