Detroit Lions star Aidan Hutchinson became the latest NFL player targeted by AI-generated misinformation after a fake marriage post went viral on November 26, 2025. The doctored image showed the defensive end in a groom’s suit next to a woman in a wedding dress, falsely claiming he had secretly tied the knot.
Melissa Hutchinson Calls Out Fake AI Marriage Rumor
Hutchinson’s mother, Melissa Hutchinson, quickly shut down the hoax on Instagram. Sharing the fake post to her Story, she joked:
“Love seeing who Aidan’s married to this week,” adding laughing emojis.
Her response exposed the latest round of AI-created stories spreading online about her son.
Fake Quotes and Fabricated Storylines Go Viral
Along with the fake wedding photo, the viral AI post included completely made-up quotes attributed to Aidan Hutchinson—claims that he had been in a decade-long relationship and allegedly commented on “race” in a message that had no connection to his real life or beliefs.
The hoax is one of several AI-driven rumors that have circulated about the former No. 2 overall pick.

Melissa Hutchinson also addressed other false AI-generated stories, including claims that her son:
Secretly had a child
Bought a diner
Donated huge sums of money

This is not the first time the Hutchinson family has confronted AI misinformation. In July 2025, the House of Hutch brand and Aidan himself released a public statement warning fans about fake AI headlines on Facebook.
They urged fans to “think twice before believing anything on the internet” and rely only on official sources such as:
Aidan Hutchinson’s verified social media
Detroit Lions official pages
House of Hutch
Reputable sports news outlets
Past Fake Headlines Included Position Changes and Massive Donations
The list of previous fake headlines pushed by AI included claims that Hutchinson:
Was switching positions
Donated his signing bonus
Purchased an animal shelter
All of these stories were proven false.
What’s Actually True About Aidan Hutchinson

After recovering from a tibia and fibula fracture sustained in 2024, Hutchinson remains focused on his NFL career and helping lead the Detroit Lions’ defense.
