Snelling’s beau, Conner Jordan, was front and center in a handful of posts on the 21-year-old cheerleader’s social media accounts posted in the months before her recent arrest.
However, it was not immediately clear if he was the father of the baby boy Snelling is accused of wrapping in a towel, stashing in a garbage bag and hiding in her closet at her off-campus residence in Lexington.
In one TikTok posted in June, Jordan — who was identified repeatedly by Snelling’s followers — was pictured holding hands with the cheerleader and embracing her in a field.
Another clip captured him kissing Snelling’s cheek as the pair danced together.
It isn’t clear when they started dating.
Jordan, who once played basketball for King University and Tusculum University in Tennessee, appears to have deleted his own social media accounts in the wake of his girlfriend’s arrest.
It comes after it previously emerged that Snelling had listed being a mom as one of her life goals in a social media post just months before this week’s grisly discovery.
In her last TikTok, which was posted June 25, Snelling had included an emoji of a mother holding a baby under her list of “goals” beside a wedding ring, house and cash.
Meanwhile, Snelling faced court for the first time on Wednesday after she was charged with abuse of a corpse, tampering with physical evidence and concealing the birth of an infant.
She was arrested on Aug. 31 after cops responded to a report of an unresponsive infant at the home.
An autopsy has since deemed the baby’s cause of death inconclusive.
“I understand the community’s concern and sensitivity surrounding the death of a child,” Fayette County Coroner Gary Ginn said in the coroner’s report.
“We are conducting a thorough and methodical death investigation to ensure all facts are carefully considered.”

Snelling has pleaded not guilty to the charges.
