NextImg:Lukas Van Ness’ wild NFL draft scene causes girlfriend confusion on Twitter

The Packers certainly had their eyes on Lukas Van Ness Thursday night, but social media was captivated by the former Iowa defensive end’s inner circle.

As Van Ness was selected 13th overall by Green Bay, cameras captured the exciting scene at his home, where his loved ones — including family members and girlfriend Frankie Kmet — got the celebrations rolling.

Twitter, however, expressed confusion over the ladies in Van Ness’ life.

Another tweeted, “Does Lukas Van Ness have 3 girlfriends??”

Van Ness is currently dating Kmet, who appeared to kiss the Iowa product as he got the call from Green Bay.

His father also appeared to get playful with Kmet on another instance when the camera flashed to the family.

His sister, Ella Van Ness, also took to her Instagram Stories to share photos of the emotional scene.

“Packers baby,” she gushed.

Although Van Ness and Kmet keep much of their relationship under wraps, she did share a playful photo of the pair during a shopping adventure earlier this month.
