  • Dominykas Dirkstys shared a photo of 18-year-old athlete Ieva Šadžiūtė wearing a ring, prompting a joking message from his mother.
  • A TikTok video showing Dirkstys appearing to move in for a kiss intensified followers’ speculation about their relationship.
  • The pair have not officially commented on or defined their relationship, while some followers questioned whether the public moments could be a planned promotional project.

A ring on Ieva Šadžiūtė’s finger quickly caught attention after fighter Dominykas Dirkstys shared her photo on social media. The 18-year-old athlete added the teasing caption, “Dominykas, maybe someday...”, and Dirkstys replied, “Maybe tomorrow?”

His mother soon joined the exchange with her own joke. “So maybe introduce me to your mother,” she wrote to her son, turning the ring into another playful moment around a relationship that has already attracted online attention.

Dominykas, maybe someday...

· Ieva ŠadžiūtėShe wrote the caption accompanying the photo showing a ring on her finger.

Dirkstys and Šadžiūtė have been linked for some time. They appear together in public and increasingly share moments online, but they have not commented on their relationship or presented themselves officially as a couple.

Maybe tomorrow?

· Dominykas DirkstysHe replied playfully to Šadžiūtė’s social-media caption.

A recent TikTok video added more fuel to the speculation. The pair danced to “Perlai,” a song by Egidijus Dragūnas, known as SEL. The dance itself was not what drew the most attention. At one point, Dirkstys appeared to lean toward Šadžiūtė as if trying to kiss her. She turned away flirtatiously, smiling.

Followers quickly focused on that moment. Some asked whether the two were a new couple, while others joked that Dirkstys had tried to kiss her and been rejected. Other commenters took a more skeptical view, asking whether the public images and suggestive moments might form another carefully planned “project.”

So maybe introduce me to your mother.

· Dirkstys’ motherShe joked with her son after noticing the ring and the exchange online.

After his breakup with Oksana Pikul, Dirkstys reportedly said that relationship had been a carefully planned publicity stunt. Some followers now wonder whether the new friendship also contains more backstage planning than the social-media images reveal.

New couple?

· Social-media commenterThe comment reflected followers’ speculation about the pair’s relationship.
