Cleveland Browns’ Aaron Ross & Olympic Athlete Sanya Richards-Ross

This couple is a true example of success and commitment, as well as showing how to act in a relationship. Aaron Ross and Sanya Richards-Ross first met in 2003, in college, and by 2010 they were married, following a three-year engagement.

Sanya saw a lot of success as a track and field athlete and she is the winner of four Olympic gold medals. Aaron, on the other hand, has two Super Bowl rings from his time with the New York Giants. His last team was the Cleveland Browns although his contract with them was up by 2015. They have been together for years and years and show no signs of splitting up.

Minnesota Vikings’ Hank Baskett & TV Personality Kendra Wilkinson

Hank Baskett is a former wide receiver who ended his career playing for the Minnesota Vikings in 2010. In 2009, he married Kendra Wilkinson, well known for her modeling skills and her reality TV shows. Between the pair, they have a fortune of around $8 million.

They have two children together although it hasn’t been without controversy. Baskett was involved in a scandal in 2014 with another woman but it would appear they’ve put all of that behind them. In 2018, Kendra reportedly filed for divorce, although there haven’t been any further official statements or news about this.

New York Giants’ Osi Umenyiora & Miss Universe Leila Lopes

Osi Umenyiora enjoyed a successful career primarily for the New York Giants, although he did spend two years with the Atlanta Falcons. He announced his retirement in 2015 after signing a 1-day contract with the New York Giants.

In 2015, he married Miss Universe and beauty queen, Leila Lopes. She’s absolutely stunning and it’s no surprise that Osi quickly tied the knot to stop her from getting away! They do share a $7-million fortune, so it’s unlikely they’ll run into too many financial troubles even if Osi is retired since 2015.

New Orleans Saints’ Drew Brees & Brittany Dudchenko

New Orleans quarterback Drew Brees met his wife Brittany Brees (formerly Brittany Dudchenko) when they were both still at college. They formed an incredible bond from that moment on and in 2003, the college lovebirds were married. They, no doubt, have numerous insurance policies in place after having four children together, although his net worth of $130 million will no doubt soften the blow of payments. They have a lovely home in New Orleans and it seems that nothing can get in the way of these two.

Kansas City Chiefs‘ Patrick Mahomes & Personal Trainer Brittany Matthews

Patrick Mahomes is an NFL quarterback who was drafted in 2017 by the Kansas City Chiefs and turned out to be one of the fastest rising prospects in the season. He was ranked among the top quarterbacks by all the major sports magazines and channels, like SL.Com, ESPN, and NFLDraftScout.com. Both Patrick and Brittany hail from Texas and they’ve been dating since they were teenagers. Despite them both pursuing further studies in different towns, they’ve stayed together and are an admired couple today. Brittany is a former professional athlete-turned-personal trainer and she runs her own company, Brittany Lynne Fitness. She features her work on her Instagram account under the same name.

New England Patriots’ Tom Brady & Gisele Bündchen

Tom Brady is one of the most successful NFL stars, having won five consecutive Super Bowls. The New England Patriots quarterback has seen a lot of success which explains his net worth of $180 million. Tom is one of the most famous American football players in the world, the winner of six super bowls, and the holder if many records.

His wife, however, whom he first met during a blind date in 2006, is Brazilian supermodel Gisele Bündchen. She is actively involved in charitable causes and is a goodwill ambassador. If you think Brady’s $180 million sounds like a lot, well, Bündchen boasts around $400 million, a figure which dwarfs his earnings.

New York Giants’ Michael Strahan & Former Waitress Kayla Quick

Michael Strahan is best known for the career he had with the New York Giants. He and his team bagged the championship during Super Bowl XLII. Since retiring back in 2008, Strahan has been making money through working at Fox NFL Sunday as a football analyst.

He also spent four years hosting Live! with Kelly and Michael. Since 2016, Strahan has been reportedly dating a woman named Kayla Quick. Kayla once worked at a gentleman’s club as a waitress. Michael has four children from his previous two marriages and currently resides in Manhattan’s Upper West Side.

New York Giants’ Eli Manning & Fashion Accountant Executive Abby McGrew

Eli Manning is incredibly successful when it comes to the NFL and it would appear he’s equally successful in love, too. Eli met his wife while she was studying and, as of 2008, Abby McGraw and The New York Giants quarterback have been married.
They are the proud parents of three children and their $100-million fortune secures them a comfortable family life. Eli went down in history as a two-time super own champion and he spent his entire 16 years in the NFL playing for the New York Giants, from 2004 to 2019.

Free Agent Philip Wheeler & Reality TV Star Ashley Nicole Roberts

Philip Wheeler most recently played for the Arizona Cardinals as a linebacker, although he’s been a free agent since September 2017. Quite oddly, he was released three times and resigned his contract twice in-between over the space of just 17 days.

He married Ashley Nicole Roberts, a model and reality TV star on the show, WAGS Miami. The couple seems very happy together and even though he’s a free agent, we’re fairly confident they won’t be experiencing money troubles any time soon with Philip’s $14M fortune. The couple has one son.

Detroit Lions’ Golden Tate & Business Director Elise Pollard

Golden Tate is the wide receiver for the New York Giants and his pro NFL career began in 2010. He also played for Seattle Seahawks, Detroit Lions, and Philadelphia Eagles before coming to Giants in 2019. He tied the knot with Elise Pollard in 2017.

Tate once entered a closed donut shop with his friend, through the back door which was left open and lead to the building he resided at. They got off with a warning. They must have been really hungry for donuts, for it was 3 am. This happened in 2010.

Miami Dolphins’ Ryan Tannehill & Lauren Tannehill

Ryan Tannehill met his wife Lauren back in 2009, in Florida. Three years later, the Miami Dolphins quarterback and Lauren were married and they’re still happily in love after all these years. They have two children.

We assume that, because of Ryan’s career, the family can live happy and carefree, at least in the financial sense. Ryan’s fortune is currently estimated at $30M. He graduated in 2011 with a Bachelors’s degree in biology. Quite unusual for someone who’s playing professional football, but Ryan also planned to work as an orthopedic surgeon, specifically for knee injuries, which is a lot more closer to what his actual professional career turned out to be.

Arizona Cardinals’ Tim Hasselbeck & TV Personality Elisabeth Hasselbeck

Former Arizona Cardinals’ quarterback Tim Hasselbeck has been married to his wife, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, since 2002. She’s well known for being a host on The View although it was her respectable fourth-place finish on Survivor which helped her find fame.

These days, they seem to be enjoying a quiet and rather early retirement so they can spend time with their three kids. With her background on Survivor, she’s probably a very capable “security force” for her children, although we assume they hire a couple of professionals from time to time, too. In 2016, they moved to Nashville in a stunning $2-million home.

Montreal Alouettes‘ Michael Sam & Former University Swimmer Vito Cammisano

American and Canadian football defensive end Michael Sam surprised the public when he announced his intention to retire stating mental health reasons. Sam publicly came out as gay and dated his school sweetheart Vito Cammisano for four years.

Sam and Vito both attended the University of Missouri. The couple reportedly began going out in 2011 and they even got engaged in 2015. However, six months after the betrothal, the couple called it quits. Michael even allegedly deleted all Cammisano’s photos from his Instagram profile after the split. Sam is now an author and motivational speaker.

Baltimore Ravens‘ Joe Flacco & Dana Grady

Joe Flacco, the former Baltimore Ravens’ quarterback, is now a free agent, as of 2020. He and his wife, Dana Grady, both grew up in the same cozy town of New Jersey. They met as seniors at Audubon High School and it was seven years after they graduated that they walked down the aisle together.

The couple had a stunning ceremony at Holy Savior Church, with a memorable reception taking place in Philadelphia, at Hyatt Penn’s Landing. In 2012, they welcomed Stephen Flacco into the world, their eldest of five children together. In September 201, Flacco missed the birth of his second son as he was playing a game which helped the Raven’s score 14-6!

AMERICAN FOOTBALLER CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREY & MISS UNIVERSE OLIVIA CULPO

Christian Jackson McCaffrey needs no introduction if you are a die-hard football fan. He is the highest-paid NFL or the National Football League player. Christian has made numerous records for both NFL and Caroline Panthers. For instance, most receptions in a single game and a single season by a running back, the first player in Panthers history to reach 2,000 yards from scrimmage in a season, etc.

His dating life, too, has brought him nothing but sheer happiness. McCaffrey has been in a relationship with Olivia Culpo for about three years. The couple believes they have a strong connection as they have so much in common.

San Francisco 49ers’ Nnamdi Asomugha & Actress Kerry Washington

Actress Kerry Washington has starred alongside some great actors in her time and is best known for the long-running show, Scandal. Audiences may also recognize her from Django Unchained, The Last King of Scotland, and many other Hollywood hits.

Kerry is married to Nnamdi Asomugha since 2013. The two reportedly met while she was performing in a Broadway play called Race back in 2009. Nnamdi was in the audience and the two hit it off almost instantly. Between the two of them, their net worth in the region of $70 million. Nnamdi played in the NFL from 2003 to 2013 and he is still considered to be one of the best cornerbacks in American football ever.

Oakland Raiders’ Donald Penn & Reality TV Star Dominique Penn

Offensive tackle Donald Ward Penn of the Oakland Raiders married the diva Dominique Penn of WAGS in 2012. The couple shares two sons by the name of Dominick and Donald III, and they have a daughter named Demi.

Donald has one more son from his past relationship with Camilla Poindexter, a former star of Bad Girls Club. He and Dominique are also reportedly in the process of divorce. There have been some reports of trouble and the two have stated that this in their lives is rough, but so far there has been no real trouble, although police did once investigate a domestic violence report.

Cincinnati Bengals’ Joe Burrow & Olivia Holzmacher

All eyes were on Joe Burrow in the 2022 Super Bowl, when he tried his best to win the cup along with his Bengals team. But Burrow’s eyes seem to be on someone else, really close to his heart.

Sparks were flying between the two way before Joe Burrow became the NFL star that he is today. The couple met in Ohia State College in 2015, but it wasn’t until 2017 that they started dating. Later in their relationship the two had to seperate for a while, but it didn’t harm their unique bond. Once Burrow got drafted, the two decided to move their lives to Cincinatti, and the two enjoy a love life of full support and comfort.

St. Louis Rams’ Wes Welker & Model Anna Burns Welker

Wes Welker is a former NFL wide receiver, with his last playing teams being San Diego Chargers, Miami Dolphins, New England Patriots, Denver Broncos, and St. Louis Rams. His professional career lasted from 2004 to 2015.

Today, he works as a coach for San Francisco 49ers. He’s married to former model and the winner of the Miss Hooters Pageant Anna Burns. The pair wed in 2012, in Aspen, and have three kids so far. As of 2020, Welker’s fortune is still strong at $20M, while he still makes $9.5M per year, according to online reports.

Los Angeles Chargers’ Antonio Gates & Model/Musician Sasha Dindayal

The Los Angeles Chargers star Antonio Gates and his wife Sasha Dindayal have been married since 2011 although they were dating for quite some time before tying the knot. They reside in Encino, California.

So far, they have two children together and the couple appears more and more perfect each time they are out in public. Love, trust, and respect are evident from the pair. Financial issues are unlikely to prop up either, thanks to their estimated net worth of around $45million. We have a lot of love for these two!

Indianapolis Colts’ Phil Costa & Music And TV Star Brooke Hogan

The former Indianapolis Colts star Phil Costa unexpectedly called his retirement in April of 2014, a move that shocked a lot of people. Around a year earlier, Brooke Hogan (who, no doubt, doesn’t need security because her dad is only Hulk Hogan!) broke off their engagement.
It’s not clear exactly how long the couple was together, but rumor has it that her dad wasn’t pleased about the relationship and this could have been a factor in their breakup. Or, it could be that she genuinely wanted to focus on her career. We’ll let you decide which one sounds more likely.

Baltimore Ravens‘ Earl Thomas & Homemaker Nina Heisser

Earl Thomas used to play for the Seattle Seahawks, but as of March 2019, he’s been with the Baltimore Ravens under a $55M agreement for four years, with a guarantee of $32M. His fabulous wife is Nina. They got married in April 2016 in Houston, during a beautiful ceremony at Chateau Cocomar. At the time, the couple already had a cute little girl named Kaleigh Rose, who was born in 2012. A graduate of Bellevue Community College, Nina was Earl’s girlfriend in high school. Her name at birth was Nina Teresa Baham- Heisser, but after marriage, she took Earl’s surname. Thomas loves to tell the world how wonderful his wife is.

Green Bay Packers‘ Aaron Rodgers & NASCAR Driver Danica Patrick

Danica Patrick and Aaron Rodgers met back in 2012 but their romance didn’t begin until early 2018. At the time when they met, Danica was about to divorce her husband, Paul. Rumors about a possible relationship between the Green Bay Packers football player Aaron and the former race car driver Danica began at the start of 2018. And a little while later, Danica confirmed the two were in a relationship. Both of them are pretty busy making money as they are very successful at what they do. However, they still find time for romance. In June 2018, Danica and Aaron attended Davante Adam’s wedding.

Pittsburgh Steelers’ Troy Polamalu & Wife Theodora Holmes

Troy Polamalu and Theodora Holmes have known each other since they were studying at the University of Southern California. However, They only tied the knot in 2005, after having dated for years. They were together since before the Pittsburgh Steelers even drafted Troy.

Theodora is the sister of Alex Holmes, who was also a player in the NFL. Troy converted to become a Christian Orthodox to start his life with Theodora officially. Today, they’ve had two beautiful baby boys, Paisios and Ephraim. Troy’s career has earned him a $30 million fortune.

Dallas Cowboys’ Ezekiel Elliott & Fitness Trainer Halle Woodard

Ever since 2017, Ezekiel Elliott has maintained an on-again, off-again relationship with Halle Woodard. Though they’re not always in a good place, they’ve been able to last through time. Ezekiel’s playing for the Dallas Cowboys, and by now, he’s worth $20 million.

According to Halle’s Instagram, she works as a trainer at the Body Machine Fitness gym on top of also working as a nurse. This couple is a bit private with their personal life. Thankfully, Ezekiel’s mother, Dawn Elliott, hasn’t shied away from posting pictures of Halle with her son on her Social Media.

Atlanta Falcons’ Matt Schaub & Laurie Schaub

Atlanta Falcons’ quarterback Matt Schaub might be aging but that isn’t stopping him from earning a lot of money playing professional football. With a net worth in the region of $40 million, bankruptcy won’t be following him around, or his wife Laurie, any time soon. As chance would have it, Laurie Schaub used to be a cheerleader for the Atlanta Falcons way back when. The pair occasionally does charity work together and the love they share is very apparent.

Buffalo Bills’ AJ McCarron & Model Katherine Webb

AJ McCarron is showing the world what he can do after signing a new contract in 2018 worth an estimated $10 million for the Buffalo Bills. His wife is the absolutely gorgeous Katherine Webb, a former beauty queen. They were married in 2014 and in 2016, they welcomed a son to the world. While the pair isn’t as wealthy as a lot of NFL couple tend to be, they both boast at least a cool $1 million each which should be enough to keep the loans at bay.

Buffalo Bills’ Reggie Bush & Dancer Lilit Avagyan

Armenian beauty Lilit Avagyan started dating Reggie Bush in 2011, a year or so after he split from the now global entity that is Kim Kardashian. Reggie last played in 2017 for the Buffalo Bills but in October 2017, he announced his retirement from the game. Retirement must surely help make his health insurance cheaper! Reggie and Lilit were married in 2014 and have three children together. Let’s see what the future holds now for this very happy couple.

Detroit Lions’ Matthew Stafford & Kelly Hall

This loving couple met when they were students at the University of Georgia and things haven’t slowed down since. Along with his successful career with the Detroit Lions, he can also add ‘being a proud parent’ to his list of achievements. In 2016, Matthew Stafford and his beautiful wife Kelly Hall welcomed to the world two identical twins. We wonder if identical twins make it harder for insurance companies. After all, they’d never know who was who really.

St. Louis Rams’ AJ Feeley & Former Soccer Star Heather Mitts

A.J Feeley wasn’t the most prolific player of all time. In fact, his professional starts come in at 18 games. That being said, the former backup quarterback for the St. Louis Rams has managed to make a career out of this sport, something his wife similarly did, too. Heather Mitts is a former soccer star who even represented the U.S at the FIFA Women’s World Cup and has won gold medals for her skill. The couple has two children and despite both being retired from sports, they have a $12-million net worth to lean on when credit card bills arrive!

New Orleans Saints’ Eric Johnson & Musician/Actress Jessica Simpson

Eric Johnson didn’t have a career in the same sense that someone like Tom Brady has, but he still managed to make a career out of what he loved doing. His last stint of professional playing ended in 2008 after the New Orlean Saints had released him. Just two years later though, in 2010, he would begin dating music star, Jessica Simpson. They were married four years later and have since had two children. Given how good these two seem to be, we can’t imagine the divorce lawyers being drafted at any time soon.

St. Louis Rams’ Jason Sehorn & Actress Angie Harmon

Jason Sehorn had a career involving the New York Giants as well as the St. Louis Rams although now, he spends his spare time with other pursuits, like owning a car dealership. We wonder if it gives him access to cheap car insurance. His wife is actress Angie Harmon and between them, they hold an enviable net worth of over $40 million. The pair kept their relationship quite private until Jason went onto The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, where he proposed to Angie. They were wed in 2001 and have been together happily all these years later, except now they have three kids, too.

Cincinnati Bengals’ George Iloka & Gaby Barcelo

George Iloka, strong safety for the Cincinnati Bengals, boasts a net worth of around $12 million although that is likely to increase as the years roll by. Who needs a credit card when your latest contract offer is worth $30 million? Don’t feel bad if you haven’t heard of him, he isn’t the most prolific NFL star in the world. He’s been in a relationship with the absolutely beautiful Gaby Barcel, who’s Cuban and looks amazing. The two have been dating since around 2013 and got engaged in 2017.

San Francisco 49ers’ Garrett Celek & Hooters Model Sarah Hinton

Garrett Celek is a top performing tight end for the San Francisco 49ers’ and it would appear he’s succeeding off the pitch as well as on it after his catch of Sarah Hinton. You might be wondering who she is, which is understandable as she isn’t a famous TV star. She is, however, incredibly beautiful and is arguably one of the hottest NFL WAGs around right now. The two have been together for years, having originally met at Michigan State, although we’re sure any student loans she might have had would have been paid off in full by now, especially with Garrett’s $10-million net worth.

JAMIE TAYLOR & AMERICAN FOOTBALLER LAMAR JACKSON

On one hand where most football players are known for showing off their skills on the field as well as their partners at events. On the other hand, some people prefer to keep their love lives hidden from the public eye. American Football Quarterback Lamar Jackson is a true example of this.

Despite the fact that he is known to be dating his high school sweetheart Jamie Taylor since 2017, the two have been rarely seen together. There have been numerous rumors about their breakup, but nothing was ever confirmed from either side. Lamar is reported to be currently single; however, there is no witness to that as well.

San Diego Chargers’ Kyle Boller & Supermodel Carrie Prejean

If you want to be in a relationship with a supermodel or beauty queen, then becoming an NFL star seems to be the way to do it. Kyle Boller, a former quarterback for the San Diego Chargers, has been married to the Miss California USA Carrie Prejean since 2010. She’s had some controversy in her life after having her title stripped from her and her contract terminated for alleged breaching. In turn, she called in the lawyers and made a case at court. She later opted to settle out of court, allegedly due to a private movie that emerged…

Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ Jerramy Stevens & Soccer Player Hope Solo

What a pair these two make! Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star Jerramy Stevens and his soccer playing wife Hope Solo both have their ups and downs, although Hope has probably seen more success. They both share a combined net worth of around $5 million. Hope is regarded as one of the best female goalkeepers in the world and the couple has only been shadowed by their off-pitch antics. Hope, for example, has needed lawyers to help her with assault charges while Stevens has had several cases of traffic violations, drug possession, and assault against his name. Like we said, they make a good pair and were married in 2012 – one day after he was arrested for allegedly assaulting her!

LIVERPOOL’S MOHAMED SALAH & MAGGI | TOGETHER FOR 9 YEARS

Mohamed Salah is a professional footballer who was born in Egypt. He stands out among the countless professional football players owing to his exceptional skills. Presently, Mohamed plays as a forward for Liverpool as well as the Egyptian national team. A majority of sports lovers have been intrigued by this golden boy.

Salah has been given the title of CAF’s Most Promising African Talent of the Year in 2012, as well as CAF’s African Footballer of the Year. And, through all of this, his wife Maggi stood by him like a rock. The couple got hitched in 2013 and are blessed with two beautiful daughters.

Buffalo Bills’ Kroy Biermann & TV Personality Kim Zolciak

Free agent Kroy Biermann most recently played for the Buffalo Bills before being released in 2016. He’s married to TV star Kim Zolciak-Biermann, who you might recognize from The Real Housewives of Atlanta. They were married in 2011 and have four children together, although she also has two daughters from a previous relationship. In 2013, Kroy, Kim, and a lawyer helped Kroy legally adopt her two daughters. Now, the eight of them are one big happy family!

San Francisco 49ers’ Christian Ponder & ESPN Host Samantha Ponder

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Christian Ponder might be a free agent at the minute following his release from the club, but life is certainly going well for him. He is married to ESPN Sports Caster Samantha Ponder (formerly Steele) and she’s quite the catch. Between the pair, they boast a collective net worth of just under $20 million, although it’s Samantha who brings home the higher net worth (roughly around $12 million). Undoubtedly, they have a string of insurance companies lined up trying to cover their business, and with the addition of two children to their family, health insurance is a must.

Atlanta Falcons’ Tony Gonzalez & October Gonzalez

Tony Gonzalez might be retired from the game now but the former Atlanta Falcons tight end certainly left behind quite the legacy. He’s in a long-term relationship with stunner October Gonzalez. The pair isn’t legally married (probably wanting to save on lawyer fees perhaps?) but they did undergo a commitment ceremony in 2007 and they refer to themselves as husband and wife. They have two kids together and everything seems to be rosy for the happy couple.

Miami Dolphins’ Danny Amendola & Model Olivia De Culpo

Model Olivia De Culpo has been in an on-and-off relationship with NFL pro player Danny Amendola since 2016. However, it is reported that recently, the couple is at their best this time around. Perhaps they took a bit of practicing before getting into the swing of things! It was revealed by a source that distance was responsible for the couple’s last split, in March. Amendola was signed to the Miami Dolphins and De Culpo wasn’t keen on the thought of relocating. In fact, news of the couple’s reunion was only confirmed in September 2018 by their Social Media posts – and there are already rumors of an engagement around the corner!

San Diego Chargers’ Larry English & WAGS Star & Model Nicole Williams

Larry English may be famous for playing the defensive end for the San Diego Chargers but perhaps he’s more famous just for dating a hot model – Nicole Williams. They were an item for about five years before they wed at Laguna beach in 2017 and you can watch their love story play out in WAGS. Williams was breath-taking in a wedding gown designed by Michael Costello, with a plunging neckline that would make any man weak in the knees! We bet that dress cost a lot too – but a girl like Williams is nothing Larry English’s credit can’t afford!

Los Angeles Chargers’ Corey Liuget & Businesswoman Faven

Famous businesswoman Faven is recognized for her Suit Company and for dressing professional athletes in style. Faven is married with Corey Liuget, who is the defensive tackle for the Los Angeles Chargers. The husband and wife duo feature in Wags Miami. The couple shares two daughters. In 2017, Liuget complained on WAGs that his wife was giving too much of herself into her clothes business and he seemed to feel he was neglected, mentioning he missed her and her cooking and them spending time together. Well, things look alright so far, so maybe Faven decided to ease up a bit!

Free Agent Dashon Goldson & Celebrity Stylist Ashley North

Ashley North is a celebrity stylist who has graduated with a degree in communications from the University of Washington. North has acted as the stylist and creative director for the likes of H & M and for magazines like Entertainment Weekly and Rolling stone. Well, North’s best accessory is NFL free agent, Dashon Goldson. Dashon Goldson has $18 million in his account as of 2018! The couple has a daughter together named Charly Goldson. Since 2015, the couple has been officially engaged, but no news of furthering their relationship status has been given. Well, it seems that this is an open-ended betrothal!

Former Dallas Cowboys’ Tony Romo & Co-owner of Hawk+Sloane Candice Crawford

Tony Romo was the quarterback for the Dallas Cowboys and he is a man off the market (in both senses of the word, since his retirement in April 2017) – he got hitched in 2011, to Candice Crawford. The blonde bombshell that is Crawford is a co-owner of a natural spray company called Hawke+Sloane. Crawford is a journalism graduate, having studied at the University of Missouri. In August 2017, the happy couple welcomed a third son into their family! Their sons are Jones McCoy Romo, Hawkins Crawford Romo, and Rivers Romo. What a crowd!

Former Chicago Bears’ Charles Tillman & Jackie Tillman

This couple has certainly gone through a hard time alright – their daughter underwent a heart transplant that saved her life after she experienced fatal complications owing to dilated cardiomyopathy – or an enlarged heart. Well, the experience sure helped their hearts grow too, in a good way – the couple were hosts of a 5K in 2014, raising funds in support of Cornerstone Foundation, a charity organization that provides support for families with kids who are critically ill. The couple’s kids are Talya, Tiana, Tysen, and Tessa. In 2018, Charles Tillman retired from the NFL and joined the FBI.

USC Trojans’ Rodney Peete & Actress Holly Robinson Peete

Holly Robinson Peete wasn’t always an actress, though you may remember her from 21 Jump Street. Holly actually graduated from college with majors in French and Psychology. She is the wife of Rodney Peete, former NFL quarterback, since 1995. The husband and wife duo founded the HollyRod Foundation, an institute dedicated to searching for a cure for Parkinson’s Disease. Peete’s father was diagnosed with the disease and so they feel it in their hearts to help other families in the same position with resources that can support them. The foundation offers support for family members of those suffering from autism as well after one of their four kids was diagnosed with Autism.

Oakland Raiders’ Derek Carr & Heather Neel

It is commonly believed that it takes a woman to make a man of a boy – and this old adage may be quite true if we take a look at Heather Neel and Derek Carr, whose love relationship blossomed from a friendship. Apparently, Neel once wrote Carr a letter that simply told him very plainly that he wasn’t being the person she thought he was. It looks like it was enough to trigger the change in Carr that she needed! Five years later, Neel was in her wedding dress, ready to exchange their vows in 2012! They have Dallas and Dekker, their two sons, to keep them going from day to day!

Carolina Panthers’ Greg Olsen & Kara Olsen

Greg Olsen and Kara Olsen married in 2009, after a long relationship. The couple actually first got together when Greg Olsen was a freshman at the University of Miami, and so was Kara. He was eighteen and she was seventeen. Today, they have come a very long way, and they have three children. This is a couple that’s been hitting headlines since 2012, for their struggle with one of their twin sons, who has a severely underdeveloped heart and required three open heart surgeries to correct it. It’s a good thing they have a good relationship to support each other as well as their children through this difficult time! Others would’ve gotten a divorce!

Oakland Raiders’ Jordy Nelson & Emily Nelson

Jordy Nelson married Emily Rothlisberger in 2007, and there was a confusion that Emily was somehow related to Benjamin Todd Roethlisberger (note the different spelling!), but of course, she is somebody else entirely, and not related to Pittsburgh Steelers’ quarterback ‘Big Ben’ at all! Well, Jordy and Emily have been in each other’s lives since kindergarten – it doesn’t get sweeter than that! They fell for each other in the sixth grade and today, they have two sons, named Brooks and Royal. However, Nelson relates more to being a farmer than he does to football – he prefers working on the Riley farm in Kansas after the season. It’s not always about making money!

Arizona Cardinals’ David Johnson & Meghan Brock

The woman who kept David Johnson warm at night was there long before the NFL player emerged as one of the league’s best young running backs. That woman is Meghan Brock. Johnson’s rookie season may have been promising, but it was a quiet one, too, and it was shortly after this that the couple wed. The famous picture of Johnson with Brock in his arms in her wedding gown and a football too was taken in 2016! A couple of months later, it was officially revealed during a game between Johnson’s Arizona Cardinals and the Seattle Seahawks that they were expecting! In 2018, Johnson just signed a $39-million contract extension – that’s a big bank balance boost!

Cincinnati Bengals’ Chad Ochocinco & Evelyn Lozada

Chad Ochocinco’s sports career may have dwindled recently but by no measure is this true of his romantic life! This Pro-Bowler met his love, Evelyn Lozada, through Twitter – what a love story! True to their roots, Lozada shared the news of their engagement via a ‘Tweet’ as well, with a picture of her 10-carat engagement ring. The lovebirds got married but then things turned upside down with another shocking picture – a gash across her forehead and claims of domestic violence! The couple married in July 2012 and by September they were done. Talk about a whirlwind romance!

Arizona Cardinals’ Thomas Jones & Actress Meagan Good

He was once the star running back for both New York Jets and the Chicago Bears, and later with the Kansas City Chiefs – we are looking at Thomas Jones! Jones was the main man on the field, but off the field, he was a taken man – he was dating the stunning actress, Meagan Good. The long-time couple has had a couple of tricks up their sleeves for keeping their love going, but they hung on for four years. In 2009, Jones revealed that Meagan knows everything that goes on in his life. Trust is key, hey! But they had officially broken it off by 2010. Jones is building his portfolio as an actor these days.

Cleveland Browns’ Kellen Winslow II & Janelle Winslow

This is Kellen Winslow II, Kellen Winslow’s son, and he’s established a name all on his own, from his days at the University of Miami, to when he played for the Cleveland Browns. Kellen met his wife, Janelle, way back in middle school. The lovebirds dated all the way through middle school, high school, and even college. It was in June of 2006 that they sealed the deal. In 2018, Winslow II is facing a shocking trial – he is being taken to court for forcing himself on two homeless women. Winslow II faces eight counts, including kidnapping, and he had better have a great lawyer because things are looking grim…

San Diego Chargers’ Quentin Jammer & Alicia Jammer

Quentin Jammer is a former Longhorn football star from the University of Texas, who made a phenomenal NFL transition in 2002 as the 5^th pick in the draft, by the San Diego Chargers. He has not changed teams since then and his loyalty seems to extend to his love life as well – he and Alicia Jammer stayed married until 2011. Alicia is widely considered among the hottest NFL wives. Not much is said about the cause of their separation, and it was simply said that Jammer’s game suffered during the divorce – and no more than that. It’s a mystery!

San Francisco 49ers’ Deion Sanders & Pilar Sanders

Deion Sanders is the NFL player who was married to Pilar Sanders. Pilar Sanders and Delon divorced in 2013, with rumors of infidelity on Pilar’s part. The Hall-of-Famer decided that it would be a good idea to put their Texas home up for sale. As it turned out, it wasn’t a good idea and the home was put on auction in 2017 as ‘Chateau Montclair’, but pulled off just before the big auction. It went up for sale $14,5 million in 2017, and whoever snapped it must have had loads of money! The 109-acre property sports a massive lake and a 29,000-square-foot Mediterranean-style home of nine bedrooms and 10.5 bathrooms!
