After a few spells at different teams, it seems like Demario Davis has found stability both in his professional and personal life. And he definitely owes a lot of thanks to the man upstairs, being a devout Christian, and all. Davis has been happily married to his wife Tamela Gill for a few years now.
She is a very enterprising individual herself, having developed a reputation as a life coach. Tamela even has her own podcast. Together, the couple have plenty to be proud of, especially the five kids they have brought into the world. They have four very happy girls, and a very happy son too.
Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen
Tom Brady is the greatest NFL player of all time, according to pretty much everybody. As New England’s star quarterback, this Patriot ranks fourth-highest paid athlete in league history. With a net worth of $180 million, the sweet smell of success is a fragrance Brady is well acquainted with. However, his now-ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen, has secured a fortune twice as sweet.
The Brazilian supermodel’s net worth more than doubles her rockstar athlete ex-husband’s. Bündchen, a former Victoria Secrets Angel, is worth $400 million. During the height of her modeling career, she was the highest-paid model ever, making $47 million per year. She has donned the cover of 1,200 magazines and worked for every fashion brand in the industry. In 2014, Forbes named Bündchen, the 89th most powerful woman in the world.
Aaron Rodgers & Danica Patrick
Aaron Rodgers and Danica Patrick first met at the ESPY award show in 2012. But the cute pair did not start dating until 2018. They have a lot in common. They are both star athletes in their field.
Patrick was the most successful woman in car racing when she retired at 36. She raced NASCAR and IndyCar, becoming the first woman to win the IndyCar series in 2008. In endorsements alone, she racked up $60 million! Unfortunately, they split, and Aaron found himself a new beau.
Nnamdi Asomugha & Kerry Washington
It’s hard to say who takes the lead in this marriage because both are acclaimed television and movie stars. Nnamdi Asomugha had his breakout performance in 2017 at the Sundance Film Festival for his lead role in Crown Heights. Before that, he was one of the best cornerbacks the NFL has ever seen.
His wife Kerry Washington’s successful career on stage, film, and on TV has spanned over two decades. She is admired for playing Olivia Pope on the popular ABC TV series 'Scandal,' which earned her a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress. The couple met when Washington performed on Broadway and Asomugha attended. She informed him she didn’t date athletes, and he responded that he didn’t date actresses. The couple married in 2013, they have two children, and they are very private about their marriage.
Mitchell Trubisky & Hillary Gallagher
Here is another couple who loves to live their love life on Instagram. For Mitchell Trubisky’s birthday, Hillary Gallagher swooned, “Happy birthday to my best friend! Love doing life with you.”
Trubisky joined the Chicago Bears in 2017, and by the 2018 playoff season, he was named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster, with the Bears making the playoffs. He’s considered to be an up-and-coming star quarterback for the team. Recently the athlete popped the question!
Rodney Peete & Holly Robinson Peete
One thing that keeps this couple together is the “20-second hug.” It’s an emotional bonding pact Rodney Peete introduced to the family. “No matter how mad you are, if one asks for the hug, it’s mandatory.” They’re veterans, having survived 25 years of marriage.
The celebrity couple balances their busy showbiz lives with a family of four children, one child diagnosed with autism as a 3-year-old. Holly Robinson is an actress and author. She starred in 21 Jump Street. Mr. Peete co-hosts the LA radio show “Lunch Time with Roggin and Rodney” on AM 570. He went into broadcasting after retiring from a 16-season NFL career as a quarterback.

In 2014, Decker won a $36.25 million contract when he signed on with the Jets for five years. Throughout his career, he delivered about 6,000 yards and 54 TDs.
Winning country singer-songwriter and actress Jessie James Decker came with some extra perks. Not only is she incredibly beautiful and talented, but the two of them also landed their own reality TV show on E! called Eric & Jessie: Game On. The show premiered in 2013. Jessie is a doting wife and a happy mother of three.
Carson Wentz & Madison Oberg

What he loves most in life is his new wife, Madison Oberg. He proposed two days after his team beat the Patriots at Super Bowl LII. He just adores her. On their honeymoon in Greece, the couple got matching “Agape” tats, which signifies, to them, the unconditional love they share serving their savior, Jesus Christ.
Brian Quick & Michelle Beltran
Michelle Beltran also made it onto the cast of WAGS after marrying NFL player Brian Quick. The E! network show features the travails of being wealthy wives and girlfriends of star athletes and discusses problems like having to move cross-country when their man gets traded. In one episode, Beltran said, dreading a move and uprooting the family, “I’m not ready for it to start.”
Hubby, Brian Quick, is heading into his eighth year with the NFL. Out of Appalachian State in 2012, Quick was the top NFL Draft pick to ever leave that college. He’s a 2-time All-American who signed with the Rams and the Redskins. He’s now a free agent.
AJ McCarron & Katherine Webb
AJ McCarron was a Crimson Tide champion quarterback. Amongst a pile of rings from his days at Alabama is a back-to-back BCS National championship. Sports Illustrated put him in the running for best college quarterback of all time. The Cincinnati Bengals picked up McCarron in the fifth round of the draft.
It was at Alabama he met his wife-to-be. When Katherine Webb won Miss Alabama USA, McCarron was interested. Her career catapulted with the attention he brought to her. Others noticed her beauty. A modeling career took off when she posed for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit edition. Soon after, she scored a reality show gig.
Matt Schaub & Laurie Schaub
The first question we have to ask is, did Atlanta Falcons cheerleader Laurie Schaub date superstar Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Schaub while she graced the cheer squad? If the 2009 passing yards leader met Miss Schaub at a charity golf tournament sponsored by a teammate of Schaub’s, did she know he was a Falcons player?
One thing we know is that the fashionista mama of five children was named “Football’s Hottest Wife.” Also, it turns out that the two-time Pro Bowler and one-time Pro Bowl MVP was warming the bench for the Falcons when he met his future wife, so how could she know he was a player? When they tied the knot in 2008. In their spare time, the couple runs the GR8 Hope Foundation.
Wes Welker & Anna Burns Welker
Wide receiver Wes Welken closed out a solid eleven-season career in the NFL with the St. Louis Rams in 2015. The five-time Pro Bowler has a list of accomplishments in the league, including holding the record, in a tie, for NFL record 99-yard reception. He also holds another sort of record; he’s absorbed six documented concussions. But now he’s on to a safer career in the NFL as a wide receiver coach for the San Francisco 49ers.
Besides being Miss Hooters International and a fashion model, Anna Burns has made some waves as a ferocious WAGS with a fierce hubby-defense launched via social media. The social media blowout happened during the 2013 NFL Playoffs. Clearly, she truly regretted the insult post, yet seven years later, if you search her name, her Ray Lewis burn on Facebook will flood your search results.

The Ethiopian-born beauty also runs an upscale suit company that specializes in suiting up professional athletes for game day. Corey Liuget has had a long run with the San Diego and LA Chargers.

Eli Manning & Abby McGrew
Eli Manning and Abby McGrew fell in love in college at the University of Mississippi in 2002. As the team’s star quarterback, Manning dominated the field all four years while McGrew cheered him on. Out of Ole Miss, he became the No. 1 2004 NFL Draft pick for the NY Giants. This worked out perfectly since his future wife was already in NYC working in the fashion industry.
Now they have four children, three daughters, and one baby brother. And Manning, brother to Peyton, has kept quarterbacking in the family by leading the Giants to two spectacular Super Bowl wins.
AJ Feeley & Heather Mitts
A pro-athlete pair! Quarterback AJ Freely was picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2001. His decade-long career with the NFL included the rosters of the Dolphins, Chargers, Panthers, and Rams.

Moving out to Nashville from NYC has helped steady the ship. About the relocation, Elisabeth told Fox & Friends, “We just heard God calling us there and did that in time.”
Her husband keeps active as an ESPN analyst. His eight seasons with the NFL included quarterbacking for the Giants, Redskins, Bills, and Ravens. He met his wife, who represented a Christian perspective on The View at Boston College. She got her start winning a Survivor contest in 2001. She is also recognized as a keynote speaker at the Republican National Conventions in both 2004 and 2008.
Antonio Brown & Jena Frumes
This celebrity couple’s relationship did not last long. Jena Frumes is an Instagram model and influencer with over two million followers. You can bet her romance with pro-NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown was all over her Instagram page.
After a public spat and photos of him cuddling him with an ex, Frumes fired back by publicizing his private phone number, she said, to encourage followers to harass him until she gets her stuff back. Back in Brown’s court, he said that he was doing the right thing. That’s some serious drama! And as you can see, she also dated Jason Derulo for a bit.
Christian Ponder & Samantha Ponder
ESPN sideline reporter Samantha Steele was also a sports reporter for Fox Sports Net, as well as a studio co-host for ESPN. When she met Christian Ponder, she fell in love “pretty much” at first sight and became Samantha Ponder, but friends just call her Sam. The couple hooked up on Twitter after Ponder would not give up sending her Tweets. He would ask her sports questions relentlessly. Now, of course, they are married.
In 2011, the Minnesota Vikings drafted Christian Ponder. He’s quarterbacked for the Broncos and the 49ers. Career-wide, he passed over 6,600 yards. Currently, he is a free agent. The couple has three children.

Green made the cut for the 2012 Pro Bowl, the first rookie receiver in eight years to do so. He’s also caught more passes in his first three seasons than any other NFL player snagging 260 catches.
On the bright side, he has been married to his college sweetheart and lovely wife, Miranda Brooke, for five years. They celebrated a gorgeous and extravagant wedding in Atlanta, Georgia, on March 21, 2015. The happy couple has two children.
Alex Smith & Elizabeth Barry
Have you ever wondered if NFL cheerleaders ever fall in love with the players? They do! Quarterback Alex Smith and Elizabeth Barry are proof. And since the couple was employed by different teams at the time, league rules did not forbid it. The football couple fell in love, got married, and have three children together.
Smith’s career took off upon signing a $94 million contract with the Redskins and relocating Washington. Unfortunately, a terrible injury, which was said to be one of the worst the NFL has seen, snapped his leg in half after a brutal sack. His career is now in jeopardy.
Dashon Goldson & Ashley North
The dashing Dashon Goldson has played safety for the Atlanta Falcons since 2016. He was drafted by the 49ers out of the University of Washington in the 2007 NFL Draft. He’s worth $18 million. Yet, Ashley North is arguably the breadwinner in this household. She is a celebrity stylist for the likes of Justin Bieber and The Game. She has co-owned M$A Style since 2006 with Maya Fox Davis.
Besides running her celeb styling gig, she’s been a longtime WAGS star. Her father was also a pro sports star, MLB player Bill North. He advised her not to date pro athletes, but plainly, she did not take his advice. Maybe he knew a thing or two. Ms. North has been vocal as a WAGS celeb regarding the long wait for Dashon to marry her.
Larry English & Nicole Williams
WAGS personality Nicole Williams and linebacker Larry English tied the knot in December 2017 after dating for seven years. The WAGS LA celeb chills with Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner, with whom she chats chic style trends, no doubt, and her Nia Lynn Swim beachwear line. The former model and fashion industry businesswoman wrapped up the reality show gig in 2018.
Hubby Larry English, a former San Diego Charger who signed on with the Southern California team in 2009, was plagued with injuries. He finished his career in the NFL with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2014.

Jay Cutler & Kristin Cavallari
The former Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County reality TV star, Kristin Cavallari, now has her own reality program called Very Cavallari. The new adventure is an E! series show featuring Jay Cutler, her ex-NFL great hubby. When she met Cutler, NFL quarterback for the Chicago Bears and Denver Broncos, Cavallari said, “He was the strong, manly man I wanted but had a sweet, romantic side as well.”
Today, they have two boys and one girl. Though the couple has hit some lows, like two weddings and one called-off engagement, Cavallari says, "there's always a silver lining." As luck would have it, the two ultimately decided to call it a day. Here's hoping they find love elsewhere.
Matthew Stafford & Kelly Stafford
First-round draft pick Matthew Stafford has been quarterbacking for the Detroit Lions since he signed with the team in 2009. He has the distinction of being the fourth quarterback in NFL history to throw over 5,000 yards in a single season. When he extended his contract with the Lions in 2017 for $135 million, he became the highest-paid NFL player in the history of the league.
He met his lucky wife, Kelly Stafford, at the University of Georgia; he was star quarterback, naturally, and she on the cheerleading team. The couple has three lovely children, including a set of twins. Some sad posts shared the couple’s struggle when Kelly was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor and the surgery to remove it in 2019. She also shared her strong recovery.
Zach Ertz & Julie Ertz
These college sweethearts met at a Stanford sporting event when Julie was a Santa Clara University student. Not realizing Zach was a Stanford football star, they spent their first date at Chipotle. Now the all-sports celebrity couple makes many appearances, like posing together for ESPN Magazine, and have a combined net worth of $19 million. Zach’s brings in $16 of it.
At 23, Julie Ertz helped lead the United States to the World Cup finals. She was the second-youngest player, yet she went on to play for the FIFA Women’s World Cup All-Star Team. In 2019, she won another World Cup with team USA. She’s a two-time U.S. Soccer Female Player of the Year honoree.

The fan-favorite Instagram couple has two sweet children, Stella and Steel; plus, successful lives outside of social media. Tannehill is a fashion model and a community advocate. Quarterback Tannehill is a Tennessee Titan these days but served as a Dolphin for many years after he signed a 2012 4-year contract for almost $13 million.
Matt Flynn & Lacey Minchew
Matt Flynn met his beauty queen at LSU. While in college, Lacey Minchew won the 2009 Miss Louisiana crown. She was also on the LSU cheer squad, called LSU Golden Girls, as they prefer. The lovebirds dated for five years, and then Flynn proposed. He took Lacey to dinner at a Washington state winery. When a bottle of “Lacey, will you marry me?” arrived at the table, it complemented the cuisine superbly.
NFL quarterback Flynn signed into the league with the Green Bay Packers. He clinched Super Bowl XLV with the team when the Packers overpowered the Steelers in that 2011 contest. His outstanding career culminated in 2015 with the Saints. Born and raised in Tyler, Texas, the Southern boy followed his father’s footsteps. His dad was a quarterback at Baylor.
Nelson Agholor & Viviana Volpicelli
The big news in Nelson Agholor’s life was that he was dating beauty blogger Viviana Volpicelli out of Los Angeles. The Eagles’ Super Bowl champ receiver met Volpicelli at USC. He absolutely doted over the strikingly pretty 22-year-old, openly and effusively. Volpicelli, a model who shares makeup and skincare beauty tips on a website blog, emphasizes natural products and advises against tanning.
With a net worth of $2 million, she does pretty well promoting beauty products. Last year, after the Eagles celebrated their NFC Championship victory, an elated Agholor wrote, “special shoutout to my soulmate and wonderful girlfriend. Thank you for your support and sacrifice!” With all of that said, it seems like the couple might not actually be together anymore.
Philip Wheeler & Ashley Nicole Roberts
Linebacker Philip Wheeler and WAGS star Ashley Nicole Roberts got engaged right on the show! It was Season 2 of WAGS Miami, airing in 2016. Naturally, a glam wedding celebrated on a beautiful tropical beach came next.

He made Second-Team All-ACC in 2006 and 2007 and won a $25 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in 2013.
Robert Woods & Alexandra Woods
Signing with the Rams in 2017 meant Robert Woods could be near his wife. The strapping wide receiver isn’t shy about exposing his sensitive side. Celebrating their wedding anniversary, Robert Woods wrote, “Still in awe of this day. I married my best friend.” He went on to say, "I appreciate all that you do. I love you @a.barbee, and I always will.” Aww!
Woods kicked off his career with the Buffalo Bills. With his love on the West coast, they spent a lot of time booking cross-country flights. But now that he and “Wifey” are both on the West Coast, she’s his biggest cheerleader.
Baker Mayfield & Emily Wilkinson
Baker Mayfield is a quarterback for the Cleveland Browns. The Heisman Trophy winner has 7,552 passing yards in the NFL. Another career highlight was meeting his wife.
Mayfield was dying to date Emily Wilkinson after he met her through mutual friends who had been encouraging them to date. To get her attention, he followed her on Instagram and then unfollowed her. He tried this strategy several times, following and unfollowing until finally, they began talking. His plan worked masterfully. The couple tied the knot by the next summer.
Tony Romo & Candice Crawford
Tony Romo’s NFL career has been nothing short of stupendous. Now that he is retired, Romo is a broadcaster who is known as one of the best voices in gameday reporting, co-anchoring with Jim Nantz. Romo is CBS Sports’ lead color analyst. Quarterbacking for the Cowboys, Romo racked up records in passing touchdowns and passing yards.
On top of that, Romo married Candice Crawford, a stunning former beauty pageant queen and winner of the Miss Missouri title. The couple married in 2011. In 2017, they welcomed their third son.

They have five children together. Jackie is active with their nonprofit Cornerstone Foundation, which raises funds for critically ill children.
Rob Gronkowski & Camille Kostek
It’s not easy to stay in the spotlight next to Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover model and former Patriots cheerleader Camille Kostek. But Rob Gronkowski has stood his ground. He’s had an outstanding run with the Patriots. Gronkowski’s a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time Super Bowl champ. He led in touchdowns in 2011 and is a four-time First-team All-Pro. Whew!
The two have been dating since 2015 after she resigned from the Patriots cheerleading squad; as per league rules—dating is forbidden. She said, “Once I resigned is when we finally met.” But she did admit to knowing Rob before she quit. It was around the time she got the swimsuit cover when they began dating.
Tony Gonzalez & October Gonzalez
Tony Gonzalez is widely believed to be the best tight end the NFL has ever seen. He’s got a net worth of $20 million to prove it. But it was when he met October that he really scored. With his NFL career behind him, October and family are most important. Gonzalez said, “With three kids, we made a vow to keep each other first. "If we take care of each other emotionally, we can take better care of our kids emotionally.” Aww!

The 8-time Pro Bowler (which gives him the NFL record) and LA Chargers veteran is also arguably the best tight end to have ever played in the NFL. In 2015, he caught an astonishing 100 touchdown passes. In January 2020, Gates retired with 16 years as a San Diego and LA Charger. Wife Sasha, for her part, starred on E!’s WAGS LA (Wives and Girlfriends of professional athletes). Now she is a full-time mother and wife with a music career on the side.

Jared Goff & Christen Harper
As the first pick at the 2016 NFL Draft, Jared Goff has been turning heads quarterbacking for the Rams. With a trip to the Super Bowl under his belt, for the long-struggling team who hadn’t seen one since 2001, he has a great career ahead of him.
But recently, the two-time Pro Bowler’s new girlfriend has been turning just as many heads. Model and actress Christen Harper and Goff went Instagram official when Goff posted photos of the couple together at the ESPY awards. The California girl appeared in movies Auggie and The Obituary of Tunde Johnson before making an appearance in the quarterback’s life.
Julius Peppers & Claudia Sampedro
Former Green Bay Packer’s pass-rusher Julius Peppers snagged the sexy Cuba-born model and actress Claudia Sampedro in 2014. For years, the couple maintained a loving relationship without the bond of marriage. They already had one child together, plus a blended family, so there was no rush.
Sampedro starred in the reality program 'WAGS Miami,' a show about women in relationships with athletes. Before he hit the Packers’ roster, Peppers ranked as one of the greatest players ever for the Carolina Panthers. When he appeared on the reality show, he admitted to Sampedro he didn’t really want to be married. Audiences ate up the drama, but Sampedro ate last. They became engaged in November 2016.
Mason Cole & Madison Davis
Arizona Cardinals Mason Cole is somewhat of a newbie to the NFL. In 2017, at Michigan, the 6 ft., 4 in., 307-pound center was named All-Big Ten offensive second team. He signed a four-year, $3.32 million contract with the Cardinals the following year. Cole recently proposed to his childhood sweetheart, Madison Davis, and the couple officially announced their wedding date. It was a Tampa wedding on February 22, 2020.
The two lovebirds met in junior high school. They dated on and off ever since then but didn’t become an official couple until sophomore year in high school. These days, Madison is a rookie WAG. They have a bright future ahead of them!
Nick Foles & Tori Foles
Nick Foles came into the league in 2012 as a quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles. He will always be honored for leading the team to their first Super Bowl title over the Patriots as Super Bowl MVP. These days he is a Jacksonville Jaguar, but a broken clavicle has slowed him down some.
He and his wife Tori Foles suffered a terrible blow last year. She announced on Instagram that they lost a pregnancy at 15 weeks. The tragedy was described in detail. She said that the couple, who have a daughter born in 2017, lost a baby boy. Nick Foles tweeted in support with a beautiful heartfelt message.
Jordan Poyer & Rachel Bush
Free safety Jordan Poyer was drafted into the NFL by the Philadelphia Eagles in 2013 but switched over to the Browns after one season. These days, he’s a strong component of the Buffalo Bills defensive team. He married his sweet young wife Rachel Bush in 2018 after dating for three years. The beautiful Instagram model gave birth to their adorable daughter Aliyah in 2017. She has her own Instagram page.
As an Insta-model with well over a million followers, it’s no surprise her private life splashes onto her page in dramatic waves. When it came clear that Poyer cheated on the former beauty pageant girl, a tidal wave of emotions flowed back and forth between the two (with her revealing some infidelity on her part). It culminated with his apology and her acceptance. So, it appears they’re even with the cheating thing. Point is, they made up.
Golden Tate & Elise Tate
New York Giants wide receiver Golden Tate proposed to Elise on September 12, 2015, back in the days when he was scoring touchdowns for the Lions. His story of secretly surprising her with the perfect ring is worth sharing. He told The Knot, “I flew Chase [Gregory] out (literally with a case of loose diamonds) to examine each one myself and pick the perfect rock. From there, we designed the setting and band.”
By now, they have two children. A little controversy arose after trying to conceive baby number two. The fertility medication caused a false-positive for performance-enhancing drugs forbidden by the NFL. After signing a $37.5 million contract with the Giants, he began fertility treatment in April. The random testing results cost him a four-game suspension and $1.2 million of lost salary.
Donald Penn & Dominique Penn
After an injury and well over a decade with the league, offensive tackle Donald Penn’s career may be trickling out with a one-year contract with the Washington Redskins. But he’s had an astounding career guarding quarterbacks for the Vikings, the Buccaneers, and the Raiders. In a rare move, he signed to the NFL as a free agent when the Minnesota Vikings brought him on in 2006.
Dominique Penn came into his life after they married in 2012. They have three children together. As a proud NFL wife, she starred in WAGS LA until E! canceled the show. At the end of it, she said, “It was a great experience for me because it came right on time, but I don’t think it really showed who I was.” She pointed out that she has her own business, and she’s into women empowerment, and those parts were left out.
Patrick Mahomes & Brittany Matthews
This adorable couple hooked up in high school. As childhood sweethearts, one thing they share is extraordinary athleticism. Brittany Matthews played professional soccer for an Iceland team. In her first year, the team won the league championship. Patrick Mahomes, for his part, had a stellar start with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2018. He scored 50 touchdowns and ran 6,000 yards in his first year. That season he earned the NFL MVP award.
Meanwhile, Matthews launched Brittany Lynne Fitness, a celebrity fitness website offering specialized training programs.
Eric Johnson & Jessica Simpson
Country-pop star and fashion magnate Jessica Simpson is happily married with three children. If you’re asking, “Who is Jessica Simpson married to?” You are not alone. Most people will recall her performance at Super Bowl XXXVIII before they can say which NFL team hubby Eric Johnson signed with.
So, here it is: Johnson played for the San Francisco 49ers six of his seven seasons with the league. Out of Yale, he was picked No. 7 in the 2001 draft. His career net worth of $10 million seems pretty solid, that is until you compare it with his superstar wife. Jessica Simpson has raked in a net worth of $200 million. Meanwhile, success remains sweet as the chart-topping artist continues to record music and design clothing for her trendy label.
Aaron Ross & Sanya Richards-Ross
Cornerback Aaron Ross is a two-time Super Bowl winner with the NY Giants, the team that snagged him in the first round of the 2007 NFL Draft. He also landed on the rosters of the Jaguars, Ravens, and Browns. He sprints the 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds, but that’s nothing compared with his wife, four-time Olympic Gold Medalist track and field athlete Sanya Richards.
The Jamaican-born Olympian ran the 4x400 meters relay at 2004, 2008, and 2012 Summer Olympics. People also know her for Glam and Gold. The reality show following the busy entrepreneur’s hectic daily schedules and routines premiered in 2013. She co-owns two companies, plus a nonprofit. Today she is the proud mother of son “AJ.” The question on everyone’s mind is: track and field or football?
Saquon Barkley & Anna Congdon
Saquon Barkley scored Rookie of the Year his first season with the NY Giants, devouring over 2,000 yards. The NFL team made a good decision bringing him onto the roster as their second overall pick in the 2018 draft. According to Forbes, he secured a $31.2 million contract and pulls in another $4.5 million in endorsements.
The former Penn State superstar met his rife Anna Congdon at the university. The couple started dating in 2017 and welcomed a baby daughter the next year.
Osi Umenyiora & Leila Lopes
Osi Umenyiora is a British-born NFL player who rakes in $250,000, signing autographs for one hour. During his long run with the NY Giants, he won two Super Bowls, one in 2007 and another in 2011. Both wins overcame the formidable Patriots franchise.
Wife Leila Lopes has been just as much of a celebrity. She’s a model, TV host, and Miss Universe 2011 beauty queen. As Miss Angola 2010, she represented the British Angolan community. She was born in Angola and is heavily involved with HIV/AIDS awareness. She married Umenyiora in 2015. Together they launched a record label. Uprise Music “unifies Africa, England, Brazil, and America,” Umenyiora told the Telegraph.
Hank Baskett & Kendra Wilkinson
When former Eagles wide receiver Hank Baskett met Kendra Wilkinson, she was living in the Playboy Mansion as one of Hugh Hefner’s three extra-special Playboy models. Appropriately, the marriage was held at the mansion when she wedded out of it. Her brother gave her away to hubby Baskett in 2009. At the time, Baskett was on board with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he also caught yard for the Vikings and the Colts. He made Eagles special teams MVP in 2007.
Unfortunately, with the birth of their first child, Baskett’s NFL career was closing in on him while Wilkinson was dealing with postpartum depression. Their life was a mess, but at least the glamour model’s reality show "Kendra" paid the bills as it documented the couple’s drama, which included an act of infidelity set squarely on Baskett's shoulders. Alas, the demise. The marriage succumbed to divorce by the end of 2018.
Jeremy Stevens & Hope Solo
Soccer star Hope Solo gained major acclaim for her combination of exceptional athleticism on the field and flexibility within different soccer leagues. She even went to the FIFA Women’s World Cup and Olympic games for multiple years.
In 2012 she married NFL tight end, Jerramy Stevens. Despite them both being athletes, Solo is probably the better recognized of the two. Before their marriage, Stevens was suspected of some controversial acts against Solo, but the marriage went through, and the pair have been together ever since.
Kroy Bierman & Kim Zolciak
Kim Zolciak quickly became a household name from her casting on Bravo’s "Real Housewives of Atlanta." Zolciak was known for her extra bold personality and equally bold style. She eventually settled down with former defensive end and linebacker Kroy Bierman.
Kroy adopted Kim’s two daughters from her previous relationships, and the couple went on to have four kids of their own! They have been married since 2011 and appear to still be very supportive of one another and still very much in love.
Mike Caussin & Jana Kramer
Jana Kramer starred on the soap “One Tree Hill” and went on to marry Mike Caussin (the tight end for the Washington Red Skins) in 2015. Between the two, most may recognize Kramer’s face from her multiple television roles over Caussin's.
While the pair struggled initially with infertility, they were ultimately still able to have two children together. But this couple’s love story came to a very sad end due to Caussin’s infidelity. Kramer and Caussin have since got divorced, but Jana is pressing on and making a whole new life for herself.
Jeff Garcia & Carmella DeCesare
Jeff Garcia had a roller coaster of an NFL career, but one woman was by his side, Carmella DeCesare. Carmella DeCesare was a Playboy Playmate, Sports Illustrated model, and a former contestant on WWE’s Diva Search.
DeCesare has been on many magazine covers throughout the years and is most noted for winning the Playboy Playmate of the year award in 2005. Garcia and DeCesare married in 2007, share four children together, and are known for their charity work with the Pass It On Foundation. However, they revealed that they were divorced as of 2020.
Sterling Shephard & Chanel Iman
Model Chanel Iman is one NFL ex-wife who greatly outshines her wide receiver ex-husband, Sterling Shephard. Iman has modeled since a very young age and has been a familiar face for major brands like Versace, Tom Ford, Gucci, and even Victoria’s Secret, to name a few.
Shephard and Iman were engaged in 2017, married in 2018, and have since shared two daughters together. The top model may outshine her NFL player, but the couple looked like they were in a blissfully supportive relationship. However, in 2022, they announced they were getting divorced.
Travis Kelce & Kayla Nicole
Travis Kelce and Kayla Nicole have had a spotty relationship, going through breakups and makeups. The tight end for the Kansas City Chiefs and Nicole met through Instagram.
The model and host must have caught the attention of Kelce, who decided to slide into her DMs. The two began dating in 2017 but have had their share of rough patches. The two split for a number of months before reuniting in early 2021. But eventually, that split became permanent.
J.J. Watt & Kealia Ohai
J.J. Watt and Kealia Ohai are an athletic match made in heaven. The defensive end and the soccer star started dating in 2016 and married in 2020. Ohai was a part of the winning team for the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in 2012.
The pair are very supportive of one another, and Watt especially made his support for his now-wife known when she was referred to as “J.J. Watt’s fiance.” Watt spoke out against the article that referred to Ohai as just his fiance, reminding the public that she herself is a successful athlete.
Tim Tebow & Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters
Known for his conservative values and upbeat personality, Tim Tebow has been a recognized athlete for a while now. After dating a few women, Tebow finally chose a South African beauty queen, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters.
Nel-Peters was born in Sedgefield, South Africa, was crowned Miss Universe in 2017, and currently has 1.6 million Instagram followers. The pair started dating in 2017 and bonded over their shared values. Tebow and Nel-Peters married in early 2020 in South Africa, and it appears to have been blissful ever since.
Jason Sehorn & Angie Harmon
Many will easily recognize actress Angie Harmon from her roles in numerous films and TV shows throughout the years, and few may remember that she was married to NFL cornerback Jason Sehorn.
Sehorn is now retired, and though Harmon herself is not very active in Hollywood, you can still easily find her face on TV show reruns. As for their marriage, the pair sadly split 13 years and three kids later. Harmon has since moved on with actor Greg Vaughn, and Sehorn is now with Meghann Gunderman.
Odell Beckham Jr. & Lauren Wood
Odell Beckham Jr. and Lauren Wood started dating back in 2019. Wood seems to have a thing for athletes (and sons of star athletes), having been previously connected to Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Lauren Wood is well-known in her own right as a fitness trainer with her 1.5 million Instagram followers. Beckham occasionally made an appearance on her feed, and theirs was also a classic social media love story of direct messages that turned into a first date. However, the two have since gone their separate ways.
Colin Kaepernick & Nessa Diab
Quarterback Colin Kaepernick is an iconic NFL star, but mostly for his controversial political beliefs. Nessa Diab is a well-known radio personality and also a passionate activist. While there is no ring yet, with their long-standing relationship, wedding bells are not too far off.
Diab will also be well-recognized from her time hosting MTV’s "GirlCode." She has thousands of Instagram followers and has even been a DJ. The busy pair have been together since 2015 and must share some pretty strong, common bonds. Always an activist, Diab reportedly fired back at the NFL for listing Kaepernick as “retired” instead of the free agent that he actually is.
Josh Allen & Brittany Williams
Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, was in a relationship with Brittany Williams for many years. The former college cheerleader is a pilates instructor and was very supportive of Allen both on and off of the field until their eventual breakup.
The duo loved to travel together and had been seen at other sporting events. Although Williams may not be a big star, she seemed to make a name for herself just by being the loving, supportive partner that she already is to Allen. But alas, they are no longer together, and Allen is now with Hailee Steinfeld.
Reggie Bush & Lilit Avagyan
The former NFL running back Reggie Bush was formerly connected to Kim Kardashian, but he eventually settled down with Lilit Avagyan. Fans noted how similar Avagyan was to Bush’s ex in her looks and that the two both have an Armenian background.
Similarities aside, Lilit is an accomplished dancer and even made a guest appearance on “Dancing with the Stars.” These days she enjoys showcasing her and Bush’s relationship, working out, promoting her sister’s fitness business, and being a mom to her three kids.
Glenn Cadrez & Brande Roderick
NFL linebacker Glenn Cadrez played for eleven teams over the course of his career. He was married to Playboy model Brande Roderick for ten years. Brande was probably seen on far more magazine covers than her husband at the time.
The couple’s relationship didn’t begin in a good situation as Cadrez was already married at the time. He divorced his first wife to be with Roderick, but the two eventually called it quits in 2017 after ten years of marriage.
Christian McCaffrey & Olivia Culpo
After a rocky and ultimately disappointing relationship with quarterback Danny Amendola, model Olivia Culpo moved on with Carolina Panthers Running Back Christian McCaffrey.
At this point, at least, the model has graced many more public platforms than McCaffrey, but he certainly doesn’t seem to mind. Judging by the look on his face in this photo, he looks proud to be next to her. Culpo first came into the public eye after winning a number of beauty pageants and amassing a social media following.
Jonathan Owens & Simone Biles
It's remarkable to think that she's still so young, and yet Simone Biles is already regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time. And the twists and turns have also shown up in the love department over the last few years. The Olympian first met Green Bay Packers strong safety, Jonathan Owens, on the dating app Raya back in 2020.
One thing led to another, and the couple have since tied the knot. And it seems like one wedding wasn't enough. They first signed marriage papers at a Texas courthouse before having the real ceremony in Cabo San Lucas. Despite their busy schedules, this sports power couple looks amazing together.
George Kittle & Claire Kittle
San Francisco 49ers' George Kittle isn't the only half in his relationship who knows his way around a ball. The tight end met his wife Claire back in college. And it was just a matter of time before he became enamored by both her charm and her basketball skills.
Why do we say this? Because she played for the University of Iowa's women's team back in 2012. It was just a matter of time before the college sweethearts took their love to the next level. As Kittle's fame rose, so did their love, and the couple finally exchanged vows in 2019.
Travis Kelce & Taylor Swift
We think we know who's the bigger name in this relationship. While Travis Kelce certainly sells a lot of jerseys, it was his girlfriend Taylor Swift who helped NFL viewership skyrocket. The iconic pop star started to attend many of the tight end's games for the Kansas City Chiefs, which both the NFL and NBC capitalize on through their social media channels.
In fact, a Chiefs-Jets game that Swift was at became the most-watched Sunday-night show since Super Bowl LVII, raking in 27 million viewers! And it goes both ways. Kelce absolutely loved going to some of Swift's tours during her Eras Tour and was desperate to meet her backstage. The sky is the limit for this power couple.
Fred Warner & Sydney Hightower
While Sydney Hightower didn't go the distance in season 24 of "The Bachelor," it didn't take too long for her to win the heart of San Francisco 49ers star Fred Warner. The linebacker fell head over heels for Hightower and soon proposed to her. He got down on one knee and even gave her a red rose!
In the caption of the post, Warner wrote, "When you know, you know." We had no idea that NFL players could be so romantic! Just a year later, in 2022, the couple tied the knot and have been enjoying the honeymoon period ever since.
Jake Funk & Hannah Ann Sluss
Another contestant from "The Bachelor" who shacked up with an NFL star is Hannah Ann Sluss. But she had to kiss a few frogs before meeting her prince - most notably, the action titular bachelor, Peter Weber! That's right, despite winning season 24 of the show, it was later revealed that Weber and Sluss had called off their engagement.
Despite this, Sluss soon moved on and found the love of her life - Jake Funk. The Baltimore Ravens running back has also had his fair share of setbacks. After winning the Super Bowl with the LA Rams, Funk was cut from the team and has since played for the Indianapolis Colts and the aforementioned Ravens. But it seems like his personal life is more stable, having got engaged to Sluss in 2023.
Joe Burrow & Olivia Holzmacher
Here's a great example of a couple who have stayed loyal throughout their rise to fame and fortune. Quarterback Joe Burrow started dating Olivia Holzmacher when they were both at Ohio State University. Even after transferring to Louisana State and eventually signing with the Cincinnati Bengals, the two kept the love going up until the present day.
As for Holzmacher, she works as an analyst and senior process specialist at Kroger. So we know for sure who brings the brain and who brings the brawn in this relationship. And Olivia's very proud of her man, regularly posting photos of the two of them on her Instagram.
Jason Kelce & Kylie McDevitt
If Jason Kelce's love life has as much success and longevity as his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, then he's going to have a very, very fruitful relationship. The iconic center met Kylie McDevitt on a dating app, and surely enough, the algorithm made them a perfect match.
In 2018, the couple tied the knot, and since then, they have had three beautiful daughters together. Amazingly, despite being 38 weeks pregnant with their third, Kylie still made it to watch her hubby play at Super Bowl LVII. And even though Kelce made it onto People's "Sexiest Man Alive" list, he only has one woman on his mind - Kylie.
Isaac Rochell & Allison Kucharczyk
Unfortunately, Isaac Rochell has had a couple of ups and downs in his NFL career in recent times. In late 2023, he was released by the Las Vegas Raiders and is currently looking for his next team. But the defensive end is having much more consistency in the love department - specifically with his wife Allison Kucharczyk.
The couple first met during their college years and formed a close bond even during Rochell's rise to fame. In 2021, the couple eloped and exchanged their vows in a private ceremony. And Isaac's probably not so bothered about his lack of game time, especially since the couple welcomed their first child into the world.
Braxton Berrios & Alix Earle
We think it's pretty clear who is the bigger name in this couple. Many regard Alix Earle to be the "it girl" of TikTok. Her "Get Ready With Me" confessional vids have become the stuff of legend. And it seems that her reach is only getting further after starting a relationship with NFL star Braxton Barrios.
The Miami Dolphins wide receiver won the Super Bowl LIII back in 2018 with the Patriots, but that is now a distant memory since shacking up with Earle. The social media star teased her fans by keeping it a secret, before confirming the relationship by turning up at one of Braxton's games. Despite this, it seems that the couple are keeping things pretty casual.
Trevor Lawrence & Marissa Mowry
Marissa Mowry has been madly in love with Jacksonville Jaguars' Trevor Lawrence since their high school years. After starting their relationship very early, the two lovebirds continued to see each other throughout college. In 2020, the talented quarterback proposed to Mawry in the Clemson University stadium, of all places.
They would go on to tie the knot just a year later after Lawrence was drafted into the NFL. And it seems like the newlyweds are still very much in the honeymoon phase, with Marissa regularly posting romantic photos of them on social media. It seems their just enjoying young married life before things get really serious.
Andrew East & Shawn Johnson
Becoming an Olympic athlete is no easy feat, which is why gymnast Shawn Johnson is so impressive. She’s a gold and silver medalist and even competed in “Dancing With the Stars” a few years after her athletic success. To top it all off, she’s a high-achieving WAG who is married to football player Andrew East.
Shawn and Andrew are both retired from their athletic careers, and now run a successful YouTube channel that has over one million followers. Since then, the couple have also welcomed two beautiful kids into the world - daughter Drew, son Jett, and son Barrett - the most recent of which was born toward the end of 2023.
Joe Flacco & Dana Grady
While her husband Joe Flacco plies in his trade in the NFL as a quarterback, Dana Grady has also been a very sporty individual over the years. Back in the early 00s, she played for the Philadelphia Charge in the Women's United Soccer Association.
Since then, she fell in love with Flacco back in high school, tied the knot in 2011, and have had five kids along the way. Specifically, four boys and a girl. While Flacco currently plays for the Cleveland Browns, Dana is the director of the Joe Flacco Elite Quarterback Camp, which was founded by her hubby back in 2013.
Orlando Brown Jr. & Holly Luyah
Sure - Orlando Brown Jr. may be a Super Bowl winner and a high-flying offensive tackle for the Cincinnati Bengals. But his girlfriend's credentials put him to shame! Holly Luyah is a real jack of all trades, having varying levels of success as an entrepreneur, a model, a stylist, and as a social media influencer.
Based in Phoenix, Luyah has styled various celebrities, including the likes of Lucy Hale, Draya Michele, and Ariel Winter, among others. Outside of work, Luyah loves nothing more than going to one of her man's games. Holly and Orlando have had one kid together (so far).
Aaron Donald & Erica Sherman
Widely regarded as one of the best defensive players in the history of the NFL, Aaron Donald has had no reason to transfer over the years, playing solely for the Los Angeles Rams. In fact, he was integral to their Super Bowl LVI victory.
And yet, the defensive tackle's love life hasn't been quite as consistent - having had kids from two different relationships. After proposing to Erica Sherman in 2020, the couple tied the knot shortly after in a beautiful private ceremony. They have had two kids together, while Erica also loves Donald's two kids from his previous relationship.
Marcellus Wiley & Annemarie Wiley
Truth be told - it's been a while since Marcellus Wiley has been tearing it up on the field. The former defensive end used to play for the Buffalo Bills and San Diego Chargers (among other teams) before calling time on his career in 2006.
But his biggest success has come in the love department having been married to nurse anesthetist Annemarie for many years now. They have four beautiful kids (including one from a previous relationship) and are loving life. And Annemarie has recently reached the headlines after joining the cast of "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" in 2023.
Adam Archuleta & Jennifer Walcott
It's been a while since Adam Archuleta was doing his thing as a safety for the likes of the St. Louis Rams and the Chicago Bears. The retired NFL star tied the knot with Playboy Playmate Jennifer Walcott back in 2010. Two years before their nuptials, the couple welcomed their first child into the world - a son.
And in 2009, the family was featured in an episode of "Football Wives" on E! True Hollywood Story. Since then, they have had two more kids - another son and a daughter. Walcott has also starred in several TV shows over the years, including "MTV Cribs," "The Other Half," and "Russian Roulette," to name a few.
Tyreek Hill & Keeta Vaccaro
Tyreek Hill has had his fair share of personal problems over the course of his career. The wide receiver has taken many trips to court and was previously in a tumultuous relationship with Crystam Espinal. But thankfully, he's still able to do what he does best - play football, now for the Miami Dolphins.
And Hill has moved on with Keeta Vaccaro, a graduate from the University of Miami who majored in marketing and entrepreneurship. In fact, Keeta's brother, Kenny Vaccaro, is also an NFL player. But she won't let her brother (or Hill) outshine her. She founded her own fitness brand called Own Flow. In November 2023, Tyreek and Keeta tied the knot after being engaged for two years.
Derrick Henry & Adrianna Rivas
2016 was a pretty good year for Derrick Henry. Not only did her become the backup running back to veteran DeMarco Murray, but he also started a relationship with Adrianna Rivas. This Texan native is quite the match for the Tennessee Titans man. Adrianna graduated from the University of Texas with a Bachelor's Degree in Public Relations.
But that's not all. She also has a decent following on social media, where she posts many photos of herself with her man. Although they haven't tied the knot just yet, this hasn't stopped Derrick and Adrianna from welcoming their first child into the world - a girl called Valentina Allure.
Davante Adams & Devanne Villarreal
When you're name is Davante, it only makes sense to fall in love with someone who has a very similar name. This talented wide receiver was with the Green Bay Packers for 7 years before trading over to the Las Vegas Raiders in 2022. Along the way though, his soul mate Devanne Villareal has been there by his side.
They met at Fresno State University back in 2012 - and got married about five years later. On her wedding day, Devanne wore a stunning Vera Wang dress, with many people on social media taking notice. Since then, the couple have had two daughters.
Maxx Crosby & Rachel Washburn Crosby
Maxx Crosby has had his fair share of demons during his time with the Oakland/Las Vegas Raiders. The defensive end ended up in rehab midway through his career. And it seems like his loyal lady helped save him - Rachel Washburn. Upon recovery, Maxx proposed to her and they eventually tied the knot in 2023.
Prior to that, the couple had welcomed their first child into the world - Ella Rose. Rachel Washburn majored in sports management while studying at Eastern Michigan University. What's more, is that she played for the college's soccer team for four years. She also runs "Mad Maxx Merch," which is Crosby's merchandise website.
Zack Martin & Morgan Martin
This talented guard has been playing for the Dallas Cowboys since 2014 and still looks like he has a lot to offer the team. And Zack Martin can owe a lot of thanks to Morgan Eifert for all of the support and love she has given him along the way.
Funnily enough, Martin was teammates and roommates with Morgan's brother, NFL tight end Tyler Eifert, at Notre Dame. The couple got married in 2016 and have since had a boy and a girl. Morgan is a corporate executive at Price Waterhouse Coopers, and also worked with companies such as Cold Stone Creamery and The Yancey Family.
Andrew Luck & Nicole Pechanec
It's difficult to say which name is the most famous. But one thing's for sure, both Andrew Luck and Nicole Pechanec have excelled in each of their respective sports. Luck was a successful quarterback at the Indianapolis Colts before making the transition to coaching. As for Nicole, well many will recognize her for her exploits in the world of gymnastics.
While pursuing a major in Architectural Engineering at Stanford, Nicole was the capital of the Cardinal gymnastics team and even competed at the NCAA Championships - twice! She has also interned at NASA and even worked as a website designer for a company in Silicon Valley! In 2019, Andrew and Nicole got married and they have had two kids since then.
Ben Roethlisberger & Ashley Harlan
There are a few examples on this list of NFL wives/girlfriends who work in medicine, and Ashley Harlan is a prime example. While hubby Ben Roethlisberger has won two Super Bowls with the Pittsburg Steelers, Harlan has been making a living as a physician assistant. She ended up getting a job at the Cardiac Surgery Department in Pittsburgh's UPMC Presbyterian Hospital.
It's also worth mentioning that during his active years in the NFL, Ben benefited from Ashley's expertise to optimize his health and fitness. Ashley has been married to the quarterback since 2011 and has had three beautiful children along the way.
Matt Ryan & Sarah Ryan
When you are the NFL's MVP of any year, you know you're doing something right. Matt Ryan is undoubtedly a legend of the Atlanta Falcons. Despite not having played since 2022, this awesome quarterback still hasn't officially retired yet. On a personal level, things have been great for Matt and his wife Sarah for about two decades now, having met in college.
Sarah was also the sporty type, playing basketball for Boston College and being named Maine Gatorade Player of the Year twice! The couple who ended up having twin boys in 2018, followed by another son in 2023. Sarah is also a very passionate philanthropist, working for multiple charities.
T.J. Watt & Dani Rhodes Watt
Here is an NFL player whose wife is also great at football - albeit a different kind of football. Dani Rhodes is a pretty talented soccer player, having played for the Wisconsin Badgers at college level. Although she struggled a little to turn pro, Rhodes still loves the beautiful game.
And she has also developed a deep appreciation for football ever since her partner T.J. Watt made a name for himself as a linebacker for the Steelers. She also graduated with a degree in life sciences communication. The couple ended up tying the knot in 2022, having a beautiful ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.
Cameron Heyward & Allie Schwarzwalder
Cameron Heyward has been on the Steelers' books for more than a decade though, and shows no signs of changing anytime soon. During his freshman year at Ohio State, the song of Craig "Ironhead" Heywood started a relationship with Allie Schwarzwalder.
Allie played volleyball in college but decided to put sport to one side upon graduation. She now works in healthcare, taking care of at-risk children with mental health illnesses. As his career progressed, Cameron built up the courage to ask Allie for her hand in marriage. And in 2013, they got married. Since then, the couple have welcomed three kids into the world - two girls and a boy.
Dion Dawkins & Daiyaana Muhammad
When you have been playing for the same NFL team for the good part of a decade, you know you're doing something right. Dion Dawkins has been a loyal servant to the Buffalo Bills for a while now. So if he's able to share the same level of loyalty to his long-time girlfriend Daiyaana Muhammad, then they might just go the distance.
The offensive tackle has been with Daiyanna for a while now, and the couple even have three kids to their name. The couple are often spotted at red-carpet events and have plenty of fun on their social media accounts.
Eric Kendricks & Ally Kendricks
After his loyal service to the Minnesota Vikings, linebacker Eric Kendricks ended up being transferred to Los Angeles Chargers. While it was a major change in his career, his love life has been more stable. Eric met Ally Courtnall during her time at UCLA. She competed for the school in both track and soccer.
Ally is the daughter of a former NHL star and Paris Vaughan - an actress who's appeared in shows such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." After a beautiful decade of dating, the couple decided to die the knot in 2022. Since then, they have welcomed their first son into the world - Knight.
Demario Davis & Tamela Gill-Davis
After a few spells at different teams, it seems like Demario Davis has found stability both in his professional and personal life. And he definitely owes a lot of thanks to the man upstairs, being a devout Christian, and all. Davis has been happily married to his wife Tamela Gill for a few years now.
She is a very enterprising individual herself, having developed a reputation as a life coach. Tamela even has her own podcast. Together, the couple have plenty to be proud of, especially the five kids they have brought into the world. They have four very happy girls, and a very happy son too.
Chuck Clark & Aysha Clark
After a relatively successful five years at the Baltimore Ravens, safety Chuck Clark saw himself traded over to the New York Jets. Sadly though, Clark was devastated when he learned he would have to miss the entire season after suffering a torn anterior cruciate ligament injury.
Despite these setbacks, Clark has plenty to be happy about. The biggest reason for happiness? His wife, Aysha. She has been with him through thick and thin, and the couple are often seen together at plenty of red-carpet events. Chuck and Aysha are also extremely proud of their two daughters, welcoming them into the world in 2019 and 2022, respectively.
William Gholston & Gabby Balkman
Not many people out there can say they lifted a Super Bowl trophy with Tom Brady. But William Gholston is one of them. He finally got that major glory when Super Bowl LV came along. The defensive end has been a loyal servant of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers since 2013 and is also a loyal servant to his wife - Gabby Balkman.
According to her, William is an amazing dad to their three sons. "They see his car pull up and that's it, that's a wrap," she said in an interview with Tampa Bay Parenting. "No more mommy time - it's daddy."
Christian Kirksey & Kendra Mikelle
Truth be told, Christian Kirksey's career has been a little unstable in recent times. The linebacker first made a name for himself at the Cleveland Browns. However, after a semi-successful spell at the Houston Texans, he was ultimately released. After training at the Buffalo Bills, he ultimately called time on his NFL career.
But around the same time, Kirksey celebrated one of the greatest days of his life - marrying Kendra Mikelle in a beautiful Los Cabos wedding. "I was blessed to be able to marry my bestfriend [sic], my soulmate, my better half, my companion, my Queen!” He wrote on social media. And the couple already have two kids together, so they have plenty to celebrate.
Jalen Hurts & Bry Burrows
There is no denying that this is one of the more private couples on this list. Sure, Jalen Hurts is busy throwing it down for the Philadelphia Eagles. But behind the scenes, the quarterback is pretty low-key and likes to keep his relationship with Bryonna Burrows on the down-low.
Amazingly, the two have been dating on and off since their time in college together. They were both at the University of Alabama, and their fates have been intertwined ever since. According to Jalen, although he isn't "married or anything like that," he did admit that he is "spoken for." Of course, he was referring to Bry.
