From Reddit:
The girl on Cody Ko's shoulders is the girl he was dating from Vine where he was seen kissing her. If she turned 19 in the Instagram post dated May 24, 2016, she would have been 17 on April 13, 2015.
The Vine was posted on July 27, 2015. That means Cody had been with her and dating publicly for at least 4 months.
He was 24 about to turn 25.
I have tried posting this in codys subreddit, but it was taken down so i’ve been commenting and some people suggested posting it here, for context this girl is Evie and she hung out with Cody when she was 17/18 and Cody was 24/25. the details of their relationship are hard to sort out but this video definitely indicates something more than just friendly. Evie and her friend Rylee are also seen in old vines going around, being friendly with cody and his friend colby leachman around this same time (who if you have not heard of I would look in to).
