The texter on the other end? Hunky Oakland Raiders quarterback Matt Leinhart, 29, a source confirms in the latest issue of Us Weekly, out now.

Indeed, Holm had a heart-to-heart with ex Kaylee Shepherd about the incident. "He said the story was 100 percent accurate," Shepherd, 21, tells Us. "When she put her phone down, [Jef] picked it up and read through everything. . . Jef said, 'It was that pro football guy . . . She strung me along and was talking to another guy the whole time!'"

Still, as fans have noticed, Holm, 28, and Maynard, 29, have stayed together -- putting a major show of PDA and togetherness -- despite that betrayal.

"Jef said their relationship isn't what it seems," ex Shepherd says.
