Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift

When it comes to our favorite NFL girlfriends, how could we not mention Taylor Swift? Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce might have been the most talked about couple to spark a romance in 2023. After plenty of speculation and rumors about the pair, Swift finally opened up about her relationship in her Time Person of the Year 2023 feature.

“This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell,” she said. “We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I’m grateful for, because we got to get to know each other. By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple. I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date.” Swift and the 35-year-old NFL star seem to be going strong, especially after connecting with Jason and Kylie Kelce at the Chiefs vs. Bills game in Buffalo, New York, on January 21, 2024.

From meeting on Tinder in 2015 to tying the knot in 2018, Jason Kelce and wife Kylie McDevitt have proven that you really can find your soulmate on a dating app. McDevitt grew up in the suburb of Narberth just outside of Philly. She was familiar with the sports world long before meeting Kelce, having played field hockey in both high school and college.

According to Philadelphia Magazine, Kelce and McDevitt got married on April 14, 2018. They said “I do” in front of 170 guests, along with Winnie, their 120-pound Irish wolfhound. The couple now share three daughters: Wyatt Elizabeth Kelce (4), Elliotte Ray Kelce (2) and Bennett Llewellyn Kelce (11 months).

Brock Purdy and Jenna Brandt

San Francisco 49ers’ quarterback Brock Purdy and his fiancée Jenna Brandt have been engaged for over a year now, which means a wedding could be right around the corner.

Although, we probably won’t know any details until after the Super Bowl LVIII, which, depending on what happens in this weekend’s NFL Conference Championships, Purdy could play in. (The 49ers will be playing against the Lions and the Chiefs will play the Ravens this Sunday, January 28.)

Like Purdy, Brandt is also familiar with the world of sports. A talented athlete in her own right, she played volleyball competitively throughout high school and university.

The couple went public about their relationship back in November 2022 and got engaged in July 2023. She recently had her bachelorette party in Colorado, where she spent the weekend with eight of her closest friends.

The Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow and Olivia Holzmacher met in college and went official on Instagram in August 2017. Holzmacher posted a cute snap of the pair to her account, along with a sweet caption that says: “10/10 …1 being the best.”

After graduating from Ohio State with degrees in data analytics and social sciences, Holzmacher scored a job as a data analyst for Kroger. Throughout Burrow’s football career, she has cheered him on from the sidelines and celebrated his successes with social media shoutouts.

After the Bengals scooped him up during the NFL Draft in April 2020, Holzmacher shared a series of photos dedicated to her boyfriend. “Tonight a new chapter starts for you!” she wrote in the caption. “Thankful to be by your side joe and to be a part of the past three seasons. I’ve had the best experiences and met the best people along the way. So excited for what the future holds. Tonight will be once in a lifetime night for you.”

Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott and his girlfriend Sarah Jane Ramos were first linked in September 2023. Just a few weeks after making their relationship public, the couple announced that they are expecting their first child together. You can see some stunning pregnancy photos of Ramos on her Instagram account, where she shared that they are expecting a baby girl.

“A little bit of Heaven sent down to Earth 🤍,” she wrote in the caption. “Our immeasurable blessing. I cannot wait to raise a strong, confident, beautiful baby girl with you @_4dak.”

In response, Prescott left a comment that says: “How thankful I am to do this with you can’t be explained! God makes no mistakes and nothing is coincidental and for that, I thank Him Daily! ❤️ I love you, and y’all can always count on me ♥️🙏🏽 Let’s do this Mama 😍.”

According to her social media profiles, Ramos is from Tampa Bay, Florida. She studied criminalistics and criminal science at Florida State University and currently works as a distribution manager at Southern Glazers Wine & Spirits.

Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and girlfriend Bry Burrows have had an on-again, off-again relationship for at least seven years. Apparently, they met at the University of Alabama in 2016, where both Burrows and Hurts studied, but they only made their first public appearance at the 2023 NFC Championship match.

While Burrows graduated from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s degree in political science, Hurts transferred to the University of Oklahoma for his last college season. Despite the distance, it is believed that the two kept in touch. Afterward, Burrows pursued a master’s degree in business administration at her alma mater. According to her Linkedin, she now works for IBM as an AI Partner in Dallas, Texas.

The couple like to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, so you won’t find much in regard to cute IG posts or TikTok videos — but perhaps that’ll change in the future.

Patrick Mahomes and Brittany Matthews

When it comes to NFL players’ wives who have been there from the start, look no further than Brittany Matthews. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wife Brittany Matthews go way back — they’re actually high school sweethearts. They even went to prom together in 2013.

Mahomes proposed in 2020 at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Missouri, just after the team received their Super Bowl 54 rings. The pair were married in a lush destination wedding in Hawaii on March 12, 2022. Matthews wore an elegant Versace wedding dress with cutouts on the bodice, while the groom rocked a gray suit with sparkly loafers.

So far, they’ve welcomed two children together; a daughter, Sterling Skye, and a son, Patrick “Bronze” Lavon Mahomes III.
