KATE ABDO was left "stuttering" after Jamie Carragher appeared to let slip the name of her mystery partner live on CBS Sports.
Carragher, Thierry Henry and Micah Richards were on Champions League punditry duty as Manchester United crashed out of Europe.
In recent weeks, the ex-Premier League trio have made jokes about Abdo's alleged new relationship.
And she even jokingly announced her "engagement" during a recent broadcast but the name of her partner had remained unknown.
But Carragher may have let slip who the mystery man is.
It came after he said: "You went to Alabama, how'd it go? What happened?"

Abdo then confirmed: "Yeah. Yeah."
Henry then joked: "Yeah, yeah! Stuttering!"
Fans were left convinced Abdo's mystery man was ex-heavyweight boxer and trainer to Deontay Wilder, Malik Scott.
One said: "Malik Scott, the ultimate Thierry Henry villain."
Another added: "Thierry is calling Tyson Fury non stop after learning Malik Scott is Wilder's coach."
Scott is currently out in Alabama coaching Wilder for his next fight, against Joseph Parker on December 23 in Saudi Arabia.
Are we going to meet Malik?
Jamie Carragher to Kate Abdo
The trainer has been seen in the gym with Abdo in Los Angeles before and gushed about her when the pair were on .
Scott said: "What I'm impressed with the most is she's a sponge for knowledge.
"She's not one of these people that has this type of certain job but don't actually want to be in the mix of boxing - and not just from behind the mic.
"She wants to be in the gym, she wants to ask questions, she wants to film study, she wants to know what fight is next.
"If you ask me, that's more important than the physical aspect. Someone that wants to know the language, the real language of boxing, just not from a casual stand point.
"She materialised that over into the physical and we go hard four or five days out the week."

She was married to investor Ramtin Abdo but the pair are said to have split up while she was previously linked with presenter Barak Bess.
