Love in the League: These NFL Power Couples Scored More Than A Touchdown With Each Other
Sports is the passport to glamour and riches, indeed, but as these NFL players will attest, it also opened the door to the most important thing of all: love. Real-life meet cutes turned either into instant, sizzling romance or the hottest slow burn, eventually leading to a wedding ceremony straight out of a fairy tale.
For some, staying in the bubble of their domestic bliss is just perfect. As this list will show, through good times and bad, love endures.
Adam Thielen and Caitlin Thielen
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen and his wife Caitlin have a pregame ritual: he searches the seats for her, so she stands up to wave. Seeing her is enough encouragement for Adam.
They were college sweethearts, although prior to their marriage, Caitlin was a substitute teacher before becoming a lifestyle blogger. Supportive of each other since the early days, they have channeled this as well to the Thielen Foundation, which focuses on youth development and as well as empowerment.
Jared Goff and Christen Harper
Celebrities do use dating apps, as Jared Goff and Christen Harper will attest. The Detroit Lions quarterback and “Sports Illustrated” model met through one. Goff, according to Harper, was very persistent, and it took her a while to agree to a date.
They got engaged in 2022. In between possibly planning for the big day, the couple does charity work. Harper volunteers for the non-profit Girls Inc. of L.A., and Goff donated $250K to the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank.
