April Beckner and Drew Drechsel’s Relationship

April Beckner and Drew Drechsel have reportedly been in a long-term relationship. They welcomed their son, Korey Kade Drechsel, on December 1, 2019. The couple shared the news on their now-deleted Instagram pages.

Beckner and Drechsel were dating when the American Ninja Warrior star allegedly began a relationship with a minor in 2015. According to reports, Drechsel met the then-15-year-old girl at an ANW event in New Jersey.

They exchanged numbers and corresponded through texts, which is how Drechsel allegedly made arrangements for the girl to visit his gym in Hamden, Connecticut for her 15th birthday. They allegedly made “plans for sexual activity” when she visited the gym.

When she did visit the gym, Drechsel and the young girl allegedly got intimate in his office after Beckner reportedly left the premises.

The girl later revealed details about her time with Drechsel to her mother. When the girl’s mother confronted Drechsel, he denied knowing the teen’s age at that time.

Dreschel and the girl reportedly had many sexual encounters between the time she was 15 and 17 years old. On one instance, after they allegedly got intimate, Drechsel got takeout from the nearby restaurant to use as an excuse for Beckner.

The victim came forward with the allegations in June 2019. Drechsel was arrested and evidence was found against him, including recordings of the sexual encounters.

He has been charged with various sexual misconduct crimes, including the manufacture of child pornography, enticement of a minor to travel for illicit sexual conduct, travel with the intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct with a minor, and use of interstate commerce to entice a minor. His lawyer stated that Drechsel intends to plead not guilty to the charges.

Following the reality TV athlete’s arrest, April Beckner deleted her social media profiles. She has remained silent on the issue so far.

Drew Drechsel’s business partner, Tom Alberti, distanced himself and the gym from the scandal and announced that he’d taken over the gym since Drechsel’s arrest. It’s unknown whether Beckner is still associated with the gym.
