Celebrity NFL Wives and Girlfriends Who Outshine Their Hubby

National Football League superstars are legendary in their own right. They’re known for passing yards or receiving yards, or stopping the opponent from going yard. These men are celebrated and exalted for extraordinary athleticism. They are the best of the best. Top players clinch contracts worth millions, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars.

No doubt, these pros live a charmed life. But did you know some NFL superstars marry an influential woman who brings them even more prestige? Let’s take a look at these dazzling couples.

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 wife, Gisele Bündchen, has secured a fortune twice as sweet.

The Brazilian supermodel’s net worth more than doubles her rockstar athlete 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 and 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 and 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.

Eric Decker and Jessie James Decker

Wide receiver Eric Decker dedicated eight seasons to the NFL. Drafted by the Denver Broncos in 2010, he went on to join the rosters of the Jets, Titans, and Patriots. 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 and Madison Oberg

Carson Wentz has had an amazing career with the Philadelphia Eagles. It hit a bump in 2018 when the star had to sit Super Bowl LII out due to an ACL injury. But he’s back! He signed a 4-year contract with the Eagles in 2019 worth $128 million.

 


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 and 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.

Corey Liuget & Faven

WAGS Miami Faven Liuget and Chargers defensive end Corey Liuget is married with two children. 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. He’s been with the franchise since 2011.

He is in the middle of his second contract with the team, a 5-year extension worth $58.5 million. Wife Faven was very pleased to announce the agreement and says he is the best defensive end in the league.

Harold Landry & Danielle Landry

The lovely Danielle Landry married Harold Landry in 2018. They share a son, Greyson, who was born on daddy’s birthday. On Twitter, where she’s “living her best life,” she celebrates their wedding with a pinned Tweet that says, “So glad I get to spend my life with this one, he makes me laugh like no other … love you, baby.”

 


She also frequently updates her Instagram page with adorable pictures of Greyson. Harold Landry is a proud parent too. “Being a father is just more motivation for me. I want to be the best I can be for my son and my family,” he told North State Journal.

Eli Manning and 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. Heather Mitts played professional women’s soccer for the US national team as well as a long list of US pro teams. Her last pro season was with the Boston Breakers in 2013.

In 2010, Freely married the women’s international soccer star in Cabo San Lucas. They have two children, a son, and a daughter. Mitts is a sports reporter for the ABC and ESPN networks. She serves as a soccer analyst and a sideline correspondent.

Tim Hasselbeck & Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Elisabeth Hasselbeck is the dominant celebrity in this household, but at home, former quarterback Tim Hasselbeck calls the shots. She says he’s the quarterback of their household, and she likes it like that. Their household includes three children and three busy schedules. 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 and Jena Frumes

This celebrity couple’s relationship did not last long. Jena Frumes is an Instagram model and influencer with over two million follows. 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!

Christian Ponder and 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.

Russell Wilson and Ciara

Sea-Hawks star quarterback Russell Wilson and award-winning singer-songwriter Ciara have been married for over three years. It was March 2016 when Wilson proposed on Instagram. He wrote, “Since Day 1, I knew you were the one. No Greater feeling. . . .”

The R&B sensation has charted top songs like “I Bet” and “Level Up” and has hit album Goodies to her credit. She also has a Grammy to her credit. Hubby Wilson is a Seattle superstar with a golden arm. In April 2019, Wilson became the league’s highest-paid player with a 4-year contract worth $140 million.

A.J. Green and Miranda Brooke

AJ Green was drafted as a wide receiver in the 2011 NFL Draft. The Cincinnati Bengals picked him up fourth overall out of the University of Georgia. 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 and 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.

Getty Images Photo by Charles Norfleet


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 and 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.

Getty Images Photo by Allen Berezovsky


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. His showbiz creds include joining his wife on the set of the reality TV daytime soap WAGS and playing a role in the hit video game Madden NFL 18.

Jay Cutler and 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.”

Getty Images Photo by Jason LaVeris


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.

Getty Images Photo by Aaron J. Thornton


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 and 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 couple is each other’s No. 1 fan and shares a deep faith, a belief that they find essential in their relationship.

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 and Viviana Volpicelli

The big news in Nelson Agholor’s life is that he’s dating beauty blogger Viviana Volpicelli out of Los Angeles. The Eagles’ Super Bowl champ receiver met Volpicelli at USC. He absolutely dotes 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!”

Philip Wheeler and 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.

Wheeler signed with the Colts in 2008. His NFL career has found him tackling opponents for the Raiders, the Dolphins, the Falcons, and the Cardinals. His last season was with the Cardinals in 2017. He made Second-Team All-ACC in 2006 and 2007 and won a $25 million contract with the Miami Dolphins in 2013.

Robert Woods and 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 and 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 and 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.

DeSean Jackson & Kayla Phillips

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson came to the NFL as an All-American from UC Berkeley. In 2008, he went pro. He’s a three-time Pro Bowler, with over 10,400 receiving yards, 55 of those scored touchdowns. Wife Kayla Phillips is a model and social media celeb. The strikingly cute couple have two children and have been together since 2015.

 


She builds her social media profile and status as an influencer by promoting clothing lines to a following of over 800K on Instagram. She’s doing just fine; Jackson’s NFL salary gives the couple a net worth of about $14 million.

Charles Tillman & Jackie Tillman

Chicago native and legendary Bears cornerback Charles Tillman played 12 seasons with the Chicago Bears. He’s a two-time Pro Bowler and the 2013 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year. After a sensational career of slick moves, executing over 900 tackles, he made a new move.

They have five children together. Jackie is active with their nonprofit Cornerstone Foundation, which raises funds for critically ill children.

Rob Gronkowski and 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!

Getty Images Photo by Gregg DeGuire


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 and 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!

Getty Images Photo by David Livingston


Alongside her pro football hubby, October is no stranger to celebrity. She is a reality TV star and has hosted ET and Rachel Ray. Her latest gig is playing a DJ on Beat Shazam, a Fox network program produced by Jamie Foxx. It’s brought her tons of celeb attention; Tony simply dotes.

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.

Jared Goff and 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.

Getty Images Photo by Allen Berezovsky


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 and 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 and 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.

Getty Images Photo by David Crotty


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.

Cam Newton and Kia Proctor

When Cam Newton had a good year, he had a good year. Within 12 months, he won the Heisman Trophy, won a national championship, and was the No. 1 first pick overall in the 2011 NFL Draft. He’s the only player in the modern era to have accomplished all three. He’s also a 3-time Pro Bowler and 2015 NFL MVP. Currently, he quarterbacks for the Carolina Panthers.

 


Rumor is, Cam met Kia at the 2013 Kentucky Derby. Newton and his girlfriend Kia Proctor have four children. They’ve been together for over six years. Newton has taken to fatherhood. “Fatherhood has been great… I’m not as bad as I thought I was!!” Newton enthused.

Golden Tate and 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 and 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 and 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 4×400 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 and Anna Congdon

Offensive lineman Saquon Barkley scored Rookie of the Year his first season with the SF 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 and 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.

Le’ Veon Bell and Marliesia Ortiz

Although these two are no longer together, they made a relatively well-known pair. Mariliesa had previously been linked to rappers Swae Lee and Rae Sremmurd, and Bell has also been linked to many other women.

Bar Stool Bets


But it’s unclear what the relationship status of this couple really is, and sadly, they are more famous for their personal drama than anything else. Judging by some of the reports, Bell isn’t supportive of monogamous relationships. He supposedly dated Ortiz along with another woman. Could Ortiz really be alright with that?

Jeremy Stevens and 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 and 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 and 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 are now going through a divorce, but Jana is pressing on and making a whole new life for herself.

Jeff Garcia and Carmella DeCesare

Jeff Garcia had a roller coaster of an NFL career, but one woman remains 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. Garia and DeCesare married in 2007, share four children together, and are known for their charity work with the Pass It On Foundation.

Sterling Shephard and Chanel Iman

Model Chanel Iman is one NFL wife who greatly outshines her wide receiver 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.

Getty Images Photo by Rob Kim


Shephard and Iman were engaged in 2017, married in 2018, and now share two daughters together. The top model may outshine her NFL player, but the couple looks to be in a blissfully supportive relationship.

Wes Welker and Anna Burns

Anna Burns was a model before settling down with now-retired Wide Receiver. Welker and Burns began dating in 2010 and married in 2012. The couple shares three kids together.

Getty Images Photo by Gustavo Caballero


Burns gained a little fame when she heavily criticized a teammate of Welker’s, subtly blaming him for the team’s loss. Certainly not her best moment, an apology was later issued. She has since put the incident behind her and now focuses on her family and her own personal jewelry line.

Travis Kelce and 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. Hopefully, they can work through their relationship challenges.

J.J. Watt and 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.

Getty Images Photo by Icon Sportswire


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 and 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 Seahorn and 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 Seahorn.

Seahorn 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.

Odell Beckham Jr. and Lauren Wood

Odell Beckham Jr. and Lauren Wood have been dating since 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 makes an appearance on her feed, and theirs was also a classic social media love story of direct messages that turned into a first date. The two appear to still be going strong!

Colin Kaepernick and 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.

Getty Images Photo by Theo Wargo/WireImage


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 and Brittany Williams

Josh Allen, the quarterback for the Buffalo Bills, has been in a relationship with Brittany Williams for many years. The former college cheerleader is a pilates instructor and is very supportive of her man both on and off of the field.

The duo loves to travel together and has been seen at other sporting events. Although Williams may not be a big star, she might make a name for herself just by being the loving, supportive partner that she already is to Allen.

Reggie Bush and 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.

Kyle Boller and Carrie Prejean

The controversial beauty queen first gained public attention as a contestant on the Miss USA pageant in 2009. Her conservative values were not well-received and most likely cost her the title of Miss USA, but Prejean still went on to be well-recognized.

Prejean married the now-former NFL quarterback Kyle Boller with whom she has a son and a daughter. In 2009, Prejean wrote a book called “Still Standing” about the difficulties she faced as a conservative in the public eye.

Glenn Cadrez and 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.

Aaron Rodgers and Shailene Woodley

Aaron Rodgers has had public, long-term relationships with a handful of well-known women. But fans were shocked when it was discovered that Aaron Rodgers was not only dating actress Shailene Woodley but that the two were engaged!

 


What makes this couple even more unusual is that Woodley isn’t much of a football fan! They may seem like an unlikely pair, but they started out as friends and eventually found something more between them. The two reportedly share a deeper bond that goes beyond what is seen in the public eye.

Christian McCaffrey and 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.
