Many of the stars of the NFL are an open book. We know their salaries, their eating habits, their luxurious homes, cars, and other big buys. Their love life is one of the most personal and private aspects of their lives, which make it that much more interesting to us!
Football stars usually get any girl they fancy, so it's no surprise that the wives and girlfriends of NFL stars are gorgeous, talented, and some have some pretty surprising jobs. Here are the top notch women behind the biggest stars in the NFL.
AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb McCarron
AJ was the starting quarterback for the Crimson Tide at the University of Alabama. He is not the quarterback for the Houston Texans. He is success off the field as well, nabbing himself a woman such as Webb.
Webb was a Miss USA 2012 finalist and a model who was featured in a 2013 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The beautiful couple married in 2014 and have since welcomed two sons.
Tom Brady and Gisele Bundchen
There is no NFL couples list without these two! New England Patriot's quarterback, Tom, and former Victoria's Secret model, Gisele, have been together since 2009. They have two children together in addition to Tom's son with ex Bridgette Moynahan.
They live a super lavish lifestyle thanks to both of their mega-salaries. Tom's net worth is said to be around the $360 million mark, something that Gisele doesn't bat an eyelash at since she is also incredibly successful.
Julius Peppers and Claudia Sampedro
Claudia Sampedro is an Instagram influencer in her own right, with over 2 million followers. She is all about fitness and health and writes about it all on her blog. She is an entrepreneur as well, with her own fitness clothing line.
Sampedro was on the show WAGS Miami, which showed her life with Peppers. They have a 10-year age gap between them but they don't let it get between them. They welcomed their first kid together in 2015.
Eric Decker and Jessie James
Jessie is no shy NFL wife, she has a very successful singing career, as well as a cook book that just launched. They allowed the world to see their private life on their reality television show 'Eric & Jessie: Game On' when it was on for one season on the E! Network.
Jessie is all over Instagram, showing NFL fans (or not) their lives as working parents. The beautiful couple is seen around the country touring with Jessie.
Ryan Tannehill and Lauren Tannehill
The Tennessee Titan's quarterback nearly made it to the 2020 Super Bowl, but while he didn't quite get there, he won anyway with the stunning wife he has, Lauren. The two have been married since 2012.
She is a cardiology nurse, model, and the representative of Levinson Jewelers. She is always seen at her hubby's games and is as supportive as it gets.
Golden Tate and Elise Pollard
Tate is very good when it comes to gestures of love. He proposed to Pollard in San Diego, her hometown, where else but on the beach. He did everything he could to make it the perfect proposal, but was interrupted by a drunk individual who was being held up by the police of all things!
Pollard had a good sense of humor about it all and replied with an emotional 'YES' to his proposal.
Viviana Volpicelli and Nelson Agholor
Viviana is a beautiful girl who makes sure to use what was naturally given to her to gain a following on her blog and Instagram pages. She is a model and beauty blogger when she isn't with her NFL man.
The two met while they were at the University of Southern California. She got her degree in real estate development back in 2017.
Matt Stafford and Kelly Hall
Matt and Kelly met when they were both at the University of Georgia; he was the quarterback and she was the cheerleader. They get more attention in the press than they like, as they are private about their personal life.
Matt was one of the highest paid NFL players in the league with a 5-year $135 million contract with Detroit.
Odell Beckham Jr. and Polyxeni Ferfeli
Odell Beckham Jr. has bounced around the ladies for years. His most recent link after rapper Stephanie Acevedo is Polyxeni Ferfeli. She is far from an open book, but she does have one seriously open social media game.
The two have been seen in Mexico together, vacationing during the off season. It's hard to tell if they are in it for the long hall, but they sure do look good together.
Rob Gronkowski and Camille Kostek
New England tight end Gronkowski, has always had a woman on his arm. However, he found an added interest in Camille Kostek, a former Patriots cheerleader. They first got together in 2015, but didn't have their first official appearance as a couple until 2016.
Both of their social media profiles have them all over each other, showing no sign of slowing down (or of getting married for that matter). They are happy together just as they are.
Julian Edelman and Adriana Lima
Julian, a wide receiver for the New England Patriots, was linked to former Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima. The two were together from 2016 to 2017 and was the last known girlfriend who Edelman.
They were on and off throughout the year of their relationship, but the focus for Edelman was always on the game; which is good since he helped win several Super Bowl championships.
Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari
If we are being honest, it was Kristin who made Jay more known to the world than the other way around. Cavallari was on the reality show The Hills before she met Cutler. They married in 2013 and have three kids together.
Cavallari is now a fashion designer and Instagram influencer who doesn't do the whole reality television gig anymore. She certainly doesn't need the money, not with Cutler's $126.7 million deal with the Bears that he signed in 2014.
Cam Newton and Kia Proctor
The world didn't know much about Kia Proctor when she first met Cam Newton. The couple met at the 2013 Kentucky Derby. At the time, Proctor went by the name Hazel, which she took up as her modeling name.
The couple has yet to marry but have a son together who they welcomed in 2015.
Tony Romo and Candice Romo
Candice was one of the top 10 finalists of the Miss USA pageant as Miss Texas. It then only made sense that she would end up with former Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo. They married back in 2011 and have three sons together.
Candice was also a former journalist for the Dallas television station KDAF. She also happens to be the sister of actor Chase Crawford!
Alex Smith and Elizabeth Barry
Alex met his wife, Elizabeth, while he was a part of the San Francisco 49ers as their quarterback, and Elizabeth was the cheerleader for the Oakland Raiders.
It is normally not allowed for players and cheerleaders to be romantically linked, so these two found a way around that one.
Antonio Brown and Chelsie Kyriss
Antonio Brown and Chelsie have not always been in the best of places but they do share three children together and that means more than anything. There were photos of Brown with another woman while Chelsie was pregnant with their third child.
Chelsie publicly criticized her man since it was such a sensitive time, but she ended up deleting the post. They are still on this journey together and that's what counts.
Mark Sanchez and Hilary Rhoda
The former quarterback for the Washington Redskins was linked to model Hilary Rhoda.
She is known best for her work with Estee Lauder and her multiple appearances in the Sport Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 2009, 2010, and 2011.
Jeff Garcia and Carmella DeCesare
Carmella DeCesare is much tougher than she looks. The beautiful lady of former NFL quarterback, Jeff Garcia, is a former WWE wrestler and model. She got her big break when she was featured in Playboy.
Garcia is best remembered for his time with the 49ers back in the early 2000s. These two love birds married in 2007 and have four kids together.
Derek Carr and Heather Neel
These two started off as friends and ended up becoming so much more. What changed the course of their relationship was Neel writing Carr a letter in which she wrote, "you're not being the person I thought you were," which in turn made Carr change his ways.
They now have two sons, Deker and Dallas, and are devout in their faith and marriage to each other. They are as stable as NFL couples come.
Greg Olsen and Kara Olsen
Greg and Kara have been together since Greg's freshman year at the University of Miami. They were married in 2009 and have since welcomed three kids into the world - Tate, Talbot, and TJ.
These two are definitely considered an NFL power couple. They work hard to bring awareness to hypoplastic left heart syndrome, a heart condition that their son has.
LaMichael James and Courtney Eckhart
Former running back for the Miami Dolphins, LaMichael James, has been linked classically to cheerleader Courtney Eckhart.
The two have been together for several years now. There is something special about a football player and his cheerleader significant other, it's meant to be!
Lance Moore and Kasey Trione
Moore was the wide receiver for the New Orleans Saints and Atlanta Falcons. Naturally, with more time on his hands, he has been linked to an Instagram model.
Trione is a swimsuit model who worked as a bartender prior to meeting Moore.
DeMarco Murray and Heidi Mueller
This incredibly photogenic couple announced their engagement in 2015. This was after the two had a daughter together in 2013, named Savanna. They also had a son together, Parker.
The couple founded the DeMarco Murray Foundation in an effort to help provide families with ill children with support.
Matt Flynn and Lacey Minchew
Matt was the quarterback for the New Orleans Saints and New York Jets. He and Lacey were together for many years and finally married in June 2013.
The adorable couple is a private one, other than the years that she was a cheerleader that cannot be ignored.
Joe Haden and Sarah Mahmoodshahi
Joe proposed to Sarah at a family event with her entire family there. She had no idea that was presented as a goodbye party for her brother, was actually a proposal for her.
The cornerback is always full of surprises. He married Sarah in 2013, in Miami, Florida. They live in Ohio at the moment.
Golden Tate and Elise Pollard
Tate is the wide receiver for the New York Giants. Behind the scenes and off the field, he is supported by his wife Elise Pollard (now Tate).
Elise loves to show the public her life with Tate and their two kids, which you can find on her Instagram.
Richard Sherman and Ashley Moss
These two made is official that they were in one another's life in 2013 when Ashley appeared on Richard's Instagram post. These days that is the equivalent to a coming out party.
They are now married and have two children together. They are very dedicated to each other and don't allow any typical NFL drama to come into their relationship.
Jordy Nelson and Emily Nelson
The longest couple by far on this list! Jordy and Emily have known each other since they were in kindergarten and have been crushing on each other since the sixth grade - there's no beating that!
They were married in 2007 and share sons Royal and Brooks together. They are devout in their faith and are committed to each other.
Luke Kuechly and Shannon Reilly
Luke is the classic boy next door. He found his perfect match in Reilly, who grew up playing lacrosse and field hockey. These two were two peas in a pod.
Reilly got her Bachelors degree from the University of Cincinnati in biology, and her Masters in Physician Assistant Studies.
David Johnson and Meghan Brock
Just from this photo we know that these two are a fun couple. They got together before Johnson's big break as the running back of all running backs in the NFL.
They love showing off the fun they have as a family with their two children all over his Instagram feed.
Matt Ryan and Sarah Marshall
Sarah put it best herself when she said, "Together since 18, married since 25. Have loved growing up by your side." They have been together since their college years at Boston College.
Ryan was first a basketball player before he turned his sights to football. They were married in 2011 and are happily parents today.
Patrick Peterson and Antonique Larry
Patrick's the cornerback for the Arizona Cardinals and has been in that position with this team since 2011. Larry is very private, so much so that her social media profiles are set to private.
She is a doctor and mother of one with Peterson. It seems that they have it all!
Garrett Celek and Sarah Hinton
Sarah Hinton was a model for the famous restaurant chain Hooters! She met and married Garrett in 2014 and (obviously) doesn't work for the restaurant anymore.
Her hobbies are bowhunting and surfing. She is one unique lady, that's for certain!
Reggie Bush and Lilit Avagyan
Reggie is known for playing ball and being Kim Kardashian ex-boyfriend. He married Lilit, who looks remarkably similar to Kim and is from the same Armenian origin as her, in 2014 after having met in 2011.
They have three kids together, Briseis, Uriah, and Agyemang. Interesting names for an interesting and beautiful family. Lilit is a dance teacher as she has a background in dancing.
