Who Is

Sean McVay's helped lead the Los Angeles Rams to plenty of touchdowns as the team's head coach ... and it looks like he really scored in his personal life, too, because he got married to and started a family with his wife, Veronika Khomyn, all within a few years!

The professional football figure and his partner were together for several years before they made things official ... although it didn't take long for them to become parents to a baby boy!

We're gonna examine the wife's professional background as a model, and see just how her love story with the coach played out.

Veronika's known for her modeling work after graduating with a bachelor's degree from George Mason University in Virginia.

The coach's wife, who's originally from Ukraine, later obtained her master's degree in global management from Arizona State University.

In addition to her modeling career, Veronika works as a real estate agent, and she obtained her real estate license in 2021, according to her LinkedIn.

She started working with the Beverly Hills-based real estate firm The Agency in 2024, and she mainly focuses on properties in the Westside and San Fernando Valley regions of Los Angeles.

So, remember how we said Veronika attended George Mason University? Well, it turns out she actually met her now-husband when she was a student there and he was working as a coach for the Washington Commanders in D.C.

The pair started dating in the early 2010s, and she followed him to Los Angeles in 2017 when he became the Rams head coach.

Veronika and Sean dated for two more years before he popped the big question, and she shared the news about her engagement on Instagram, according to People.

She showed off her engagement ring and added a short message that she couldn't "wait to call him my husband."

Veronika had to hold on for a few years, but she eventually tied the knot with the coach in Beverly Hills, California, in 2022.

The ceremony ended up having one extra guest when former Rams player Odell Beckham Jr. crashed the wedding ... although Sean said he "loved" the gesture on an episode of the "I Am Athlete" podcast.

Sean and Veronika didn't wait too long to start a family ... she gave birth to a son named Jordan John McVay in October 2023.

Jared Goff's won over lots of fans over the course of his time in the NFL ... and we think his biggest fan of all is his wife, Christen!

The professional football player's been with his spouse since 2019, when they first met online, and they've gone on to start a family together.

Here's a look at Christen's background and how she eventually ended up with the athlete.

Christen Harper Goff was raised in Valencia, California, and she attended California State University, Northridge ... her brother Shane's a professional ice hockey player who's been on several teams over the length of his career.

Christen began modeling at the age of 20, which she started doing to help pay for her college tuition, according to Sports Illustrated.

She went on to appear in Swimsuit Issue five consecutive times ... and she was named 2022 Co-Rookie of the Year.

Christen's also appeared in a handful of shows and films.

Christen and Jared's relationship began after they met on a dating app in 2019, and she later told Sports Illustrated she'd just left a long-term relationship when she met the athlete.

The model claimed she "was trying to stay single for a year" after the end of her past romance, although she was eventually won over by the professional football player.

The pair started dating shortly after their online match, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2019 ESPY Awards ceremony.

Jared waited for three years before proposing to Christen on a trip to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which the model described as "the best weekend ever."

Christen and Jared were engaged for two years before made things official at an intimate wedding ceremony in Ojai, California, in June 2024.

The pair revealed they were starting a family the following February, when they told People Christen was pregnant.

She told the outlet she'd decided to "soak up every second" of her pregnancy, while Jared said he was "looking forward" to becoming a father.

While much of Matthew Stafford's career's taken place on the gridiron, he's got a full life off the field -- and he's spent a lot of it with his wife Kelly!

The spouse of the Los Angeles Rams' quarterback has established herself as a podcasting host and media personality over the past few years, and she's garnered a bit of attention for the comments she's made on her program.

We're going to check out how the podcaster ended up starting a family with the professional football player ... and how she ended up in hot water after making comments about his teammates.

Kelly -- whose brother is former NFL player Chad Hall -- attended the University of Georgia, where she was a member of the cheerleading squad. She met Matthew while they were attending the school, where he played quarterback.

Oh, and get this ... Kelly actually dated one of her now-husband's teammates when they were on a break, and she told KFC Radio the move was meant to "piss him off."

She claimed the brief relationship "had a little effect on Matthew," and she eventually got back together with Matthew.

Kelly entered the medical field after graduating from the University of Georgia, and she became a registered nurse in 2014.

She eventually moved into the podcasting space, starting her own podcast, "The Morning After," in 2021. Kelly got caught up in a minor brouhaha in 2023, when she claimed her husband wasn't able to "connect" with the rookies on his team on an episode.

She ended up regretting her comments, and telling WDIV-TV in Detroit she'd "put my foot in my mouth pretty good" ... hey, everyone makes mistakes!

Matthew and Kelly dated for several years before he proposed to her in March 2013. The two were engaged for more than a year before they made things official and got married in April 2014.

Marcus Freeman's supported lots of players over the course of his coaching career ... and he's been getting plenty of support from his wife Joanna at the same time!

The head coach of the University of Notre Dame's football team and his spouse have been together since their college years, and she's seen him bounce from squad to squad before ending up with the Fighting Irish.

We're going to take a look into the personal life of the coach's wife and see how she's been in his corner for more than a decade.

Joanna's originally from Massillon, Ohio, and she grew up in a family that idolized the Cleveland Browns, according to Yahoo! Sports.

The coach's wife decided to stay local for college, attending Otterbein University in nearby Westerville.

She later became a reporter for WBNS-TV in Columbus, Ohio, covering news and traffic, according to her X account.

Joanna switched to focus on her family when her husband was offered a coaching gig at Ohio's Kent State University.

Joanna and Marcus first met when he was playing football at Ohio State University, and they lived in the same housing complex at the time.

The coach's wife told Yahoo! Sports she didn't exactly have "a super romantic love story" with her now-husband, and admitted they "had a lot of breakups and make-ups" along the way.

The two eventually decided to make things official, and the Freemans held a wedding ceremony in February 2010.

Joanna and Marcus went on to start a family with the birth of their eldest child, Vinny, and they have five other children ... Siena, Gino, Nico, Capri, and Rocco.

Marcus has been pretty open about the support Joanna's provided for him throughout his career, and how she's kept him grounded.

The coach told Yahoo! Sports his wife was "going to be ready to fire back" if he ever acted like "a jerk" ... hey, honesty is the best policy!

Although his coaching career hasn't always been easy for their family to manage, Joanna says, she's been pleased to see the "positive impact" he's made on the lives of his players.

The Manning family's effectively royalty in the world of football ... do the names Peyton or Eli sound familiar? They're Cooper Manning's brothers. The family has a new star in the University of Texas quarterback Arch Manning.

And what's interesting is Arch's father, Cooper, also has a history in sports -- although it's not too similar to the careers of Cooper's brothers

We're going to check out how the Cooper made a name for himself and how he's supported his son through the early stages of Arch's football path.

So, it turns out Cooper's not too different from the rest of his family, because he has a history with football.

The former athlete was an All-State wide receiver in Louisia during his high school career, and he was set to play ball for Ole Miss, according to Bleacher Report.

However, his football career was cut short when he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis -- defined by the Mayo Clinic as narrowing of the spinal canal -- prior to the start of his freshman year.

Cooper ultimately moved on from football to prioritize his health, and Peyton later changed his number from 14 to 18, which his brother wore in high school.

Cooper didn't exactly stay away from football for long, as he began creating content centered on the gridiron for "The Dan Patrick Show" in 2012.

He later joined the hosting team of the NFL pre-game show "Fox NFL Kickoff," and he's hosted a recurring segment titled "The Manning Hour" for several years.

In addition to his broadcasting career, Cooper works as AJ Capital Partners' principal and senior managing director in investor relations, where he helps manage a portfolio of hotels.

The former athlete also worked for investment boutique Howard Weil, and he was involved in its 2012 sale to Scotia Bank.

Cooper started his family with his wife Ellen, who he married in 1999. Oh, and it's worth mentioning his spouse has athletic inclinations, too, because she helped Academy of the Sacred Heart in New Orleans achieve its first volleyball state championship in 1986.

In addition to Arch, the couple shares a daughter named May and a second son, Heid.

May followed in her mother's footsteps and played volleyball for Academy of the Sacred Heart, where she served as a team captain.

Heid decided to stay close to his older brother when picking a college ... he's also a student at the University of Texas, Austin.

Cooper's been supportive of Arch's football aspirations, and he opened up about his feelings regarding his son's career on the field on an episode of the "Subpar" podcast in September 2024.

The former athlete said seeing the attention given to his son was "nerve-wracking," and said he was "trying to enjoy it."

Cooper also stated he wanted his son to be seen as a "good teammate" above all else, as opposed to becoming the focus of "fans and critics."

Steve Sarkisian has been a popular leader as the head coach of the University of Texas, Austin football team, and we're thinking one of his biggest fans has to be his wife, Loreal.

The collegiate sports figure and the personal stylist have been together for several years, and they've started a family over the course of their marriage -- which almost fell apart.

Here's a look at how the coach's wife established herself professionally ... and how she weathered a potential divorce.

Loreal's originally from Tallahassee, Florida, and she's been involved in the sports world for much of her life, as she played softball and ran track when she was a kid, according to WFAA.

Her athletic career continued into her college years, when she was on the North Carolina A&T State University track and field team.

Loreal's involvement in sports translated into professional opportunities, as her hard work in athletics "allowed me to pick up assistant jobs and internships" in the field.

She eventually ended up landing a position as an assistant track and field coach at the University of Southern California. Steve also happened to be coaching football there at the time.

Loreal has made a name for herself as a personal stylist, and her looks at Texas game days have brought her plenty of attention.

She spoke about her professional life with WFAA and said she wants her clients to "look good but also feel good" about themselves.

She's grown her personal brand through her Instagram account, where she often shows off her curated gameday 'fits.

Loreal has acknowledged a good chunk of the public would "probably only see me as a fashionista and in the fashion industry," especially with the frequency of her posts.

Loreal and Steve made things official when they tied the knot in 2020.

Loreal is stepmother to Steve's daughters Taylor and Ashley and his son Brady, who he shares with his first wife, Stephanie.

Loreal and Steve started a family of their own when she gave birth to their son Amays in April 2025.

She made an announcement about her child's birth on Instagram, and wrote her heart was "so full of love and gratitude."

Things haven't always been exactly perfect in the Sarkisians' marriage ... it appeared to be ending in 2024 when Loreal announced they were planning to divorce.

She posted the split on Instagram, and wrote they'd "amicably" decided to end their marriage, according to Sports Illustrated.

The pair said they planned "to remain the best of friends" and to "support each other personally" following their split.

NBA star Jaylen Brown's not the only athlete in his family, as his father Quenton Marselles Brown -- who goes by his middle name -- maintained a career in professional boxing for several years.

However, the pro baller's dad found himself in hot water in August 2025, when he was arrested and charged with attempted murder.

We're going to check out how Marselles navigated his way through the boxing world ... and how he's now possibly facing time behind bars.

Marselles, who stands 7 feet tall and weighs 300 pounds, maintained a career as a boxer for several decades.

Marselles started fighting professionally in 1989, and he finished out his career in 2016 with a record of 33-18-1 -- including 25 knockouts -- according to Boxing Undefeated.

He won several titles as a professional fighter, and he became the World Boxing Union's world heavyweight champion in 2016.

Marselles also worked behind the scenes in the boxing world, and he was a member of the Hawaii State Boxing Commission.

Marselles spoke about helping his son navigate the early stages of his professional career on the "Dad Is Not A Noun" podcast in 2024, and said he told Jaylen to skip hiring an agent prior to the 2016 NBA draft.

Jaylen left the University of California, Berkeley, after just one year to focus on his pro basketball aspirations.

Marselles recalled his son being shocked by his idea of going into the draft without an agent, and said Jaylen "thought I was crazy at first."

However, the boxer was able to convince his son to go along with the move, and Jaylen ended up playing for the Boston Celtics.

Marselles Brown was arrested in August 2025, and we revealed it allegedly stemmed from a dispute over a parking space. The girlfriend of the alleged victim -- youth football coach Cross Tupuola -- in the incident claimed the Marselles dinged their car door, and Marselles then began arguing with Tupuola.

The pair apparently agreed to have a fight to settle things between them, and when the victim turned his back to Marselles, the boxer allegedly stabbed him multiple times. Although Tupuola tried to fight back at first, he eventually attempted to run away, and he was allegedly chased by Brown.

Tupuola and his girlfriend were able to flee the scene, and they called 911. The victim ended up in the ICU in critical condition.

Authorities later caught up with Marselles Brown, and he claimed the violent incident took place over a door ding. He was taken to a hospital and received treatment for a broken toe, scraped knees and an abrasion on his right cheek.

Marselles Brown's lawyer, Arnold Weinstock, later spoke to a News3LV reporter and claimed his client was defending himself from being attacked.

Weinstock said Tupuola first pistol-whipped Brown, and stated he didn't believe the boxer "initiated anything."

We obtained police documents related to the stabbing ... and there's no note of a gun.

Professional wrestler Stuart "Syko Stu" Smith became the subject of intense attention in August 2025 when a video of his beatdown at the hands of Raja Jackson went viral on social media.

The wrestling figure's appearance at an event for KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles turned into a nightmare when Raja, a pro MMA fighter, pummeled the Army veteran into apparent unconsciousness in front of the crowd.

We're going to take a look at how the competitor entered the world of professional wrestling and how he started a period of recovery after the violent incident.

Smith served in the U.S. Army, and he began wrestling in 2009, starting his career just six months after leaving the service.

The wrestler spoke about his decision to turn to the sport in a promotional video for Knokx Pro, expressing he "needed something to focus on" when he returned to civilian life.

Smith also described himself as having dealt with post-traumatic stress disorder, and he said wrestling helped him "adjust" to life outside the armed forces.

He said being in front of a crowd didn't give him "as much anxiety and aggression" as he had expected.

Smith and Jackson's first interaction at the event took place prior to the official start of the wrestling match ... the wrestler was seen smashing a beer can into Raja's head on a live stream, although they appeared to mend their differences shortly afterward.

The MMA fighter entered the ring in the middle of Smith's subsequent match, picked up the wrestler, and body-slammed him on the mat, after which he punched Smith multiple times in the head.

Several other wrestlers entered the ring to pull Jackson off Stu, who appeared unconscious during and after the beatdown.

Wrestling reporter Sean Ross later claimed the pair had planned out Jackson's entry into the ring ... although the MMA fighter apparently went way over the line with his punches.

Smith was taken to a hospital after the violent incident, and Ross reported Smith suffered "serious injuries" during the beatdown.

Wrestler Douglas Malo -- one of the individuals who pulled Jackson off Smith -- told USA Today the competitor had several broken bones in his face, as well as missing teeth.

The wrestler's brother Andrew posted on Facebook two days after the event that Stu was "conscious and able to talk" ... although he was facing a lengthy recovery.

Raja Jackson followed in the footsteps of his father, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, as he's made a name for himself for his actions in the ring.

The thing is, the MMA fighter's son's appearance at a wrestling event put on by KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy in Los Angeles in August 2025 instantly became infamous, as he repeatedly punched unconscious wrestler Syko Stu in the ring.

We're going to take a look into Raja's background and see how his actions resulted in a huge public backlash.

Raja decided he wanted to follow his father into the MMA world in his early adulthood, and his first amateur bout took place in 2021, according to Sherdog.

The athlete won his first fight, and he went on to come out on top in his second and third amateur matchups in 2022.

Raja began competing in professional fights in 2023, and he'd racked up one win and one loss by the time he encountered Syko Stu in the wrestling ring.

Raja's built up 30,000 followers on his Instagram account, where he's shared various photos documenting his journey in MMA.

Jackson and Syko Stu were first seen interacting prior to the official start of the wrestling event, when Stu slammed a beer can into the MMA fighter's head ... after which they appeared to sort things out before the match.

However, Raja, who live-streamed much of the event, later entered the ring, picked up the wrestler in the middle of the match and body-slammed him ... then punched him a bunch of times in a row, as Stu laid motionless on the mat.

Multiple wrestlers jumped into the ring to pull Jackson off of the unconscious Syko Stu ... and Raja was dragged out of the venue.

Wrestling reporter Sean Ross later claimed the pair's altercation had been planned ... though the punches were apparently unscripted. Syko Stu was later hospitalized, and a GoFundMe was set up for his recovery.

Raja's beatdown of Syko Stu went viral on social media, and it was met with plenty of reactions, many of which were loudly negative.

The MMA fighter's father, Rampage, posted a message about the incident on his X account and said his son "had no business" being involved in a wrestling match. Rampage also said he didn't "condone my son’s actions AT ALL!"

KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy issued a statement of their own, describing the incident as an "irresponsible act of violence" and described Raja's actions as "reprehensible."

Giannis Antetokounmpo's had lots of support from teammates and coaches throughout his time in the NBA ... but we're thinking his biggest fan has to be his wife, Mariah Riddlesprigger.

The Milwaukee Bucks star and his spouse have been together since their early adulthood, and they've become partners in both their personal and professional lives.

Here's a look at the background of the professional basketball player's spouse, with whom he shares four kids.

Mariah's originally from Fresno, California, and she attended Rice University in Texas, where she played on the women's volleyball squad for four years.

Mariah graduated from the institution in 2014 with degrees in sports management and sociology, according to her LinkedIn.

And it turns out Giannis isn't the only one who's got experience working within the NBA ... Mariah interned with the organization's Summer League for two consecutive years.

The professional basketball player's spouse also interned in the Philadelphia 76ers' Basketball Operations department after graduating from Rice.

So get this ... Mariah's love story with Giannis almost didn't happen, as she apparently wasn't interested in the basketball player when they first met!

Giannis spoke about his initial encounter with his now-wife during a 2025 livestream with IShowSpeed, and recalled seeing Mariah at a Summer League game when he was just 21 years old.

Giannis claimed she "kind of rejected me" after he asked a friend to get her number for him, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.

Giannis described himself as "kind of shy back then" and said he "had no game" when he first tried connecting with Mariah.

Mariah and Giannis eventually began dating, and they made their relationship Instagram official in December 2016.

The pair dated for four years before they started a family with the birth of their first child, Liam Charles, in 2020.

The couple welcomed a son named Maverick in 2021, and their first daughter, Eva, was born in 2023.

Mariah and Giannis got married in his native Greece in 2024 ... and they expanded their family the following year when Mariah gave birth to a baby girl named Aria!

Mariah's taken an active role in the Charles Antetokounmpo Family Foundation, which her husband's family launched in 2022.

Mariah has helped organize various drives and events for the organization. She told People she was happy to be able to work with the charity, as she "struggled personally" with her role as a WAG of an NBA star in previous years.

Mariah said she'd developed "so much drive to figure out how I can help other people" since taking an active role.

Anthony Davis' wife Marlen Davis might spend most of her time behind the scenes ... but she's still a major part of the Dallas Mavericks star's life.

The athlete's spouse has been there for several of his biggest moments ... including the night when they made their union official.

Here's a look at how the professional basketball player and his partner started a family together ... and tied the knot at a lavish wedding ceremony.

Anthony made his relationship known to his fans in February 2020, when he brought Marlen to the Vanity Fair Oscars Afterparty.

The thing is, his romance with Marlen actually started a few years prior to then -- because they started a family with the birth of their daughter Nala in 2017.

The pair's eldest child has accompanied her father during various interviews ever since her birth, and he brought her to the 2021 premiere of "Space Jam: A New Legacy," in which he voiced a character. Talk about a baller daddy-daughter date!

Oh, and both Marlen and Nala were featured in a video shared after the Los Angeles Lakers won the 2020 NBA Championship, and the athlete's wife shared she was "extremely happy" about the win.

Marlen and Anthony expanded their family further following Nala's birth, and the athlete confirmed he was looking to welcome another child in 2021.

Marlen subsequently gave birth to a son, whose name hasn't been publicly revealed, and he apparently arrived between the pair's September 2021 wedding -- we'll get to that in just a minute.

The professional athlete confirmed his wife had given birth to a third child -- a baby boy -- in a September 2022 interview with Spectrum News.

By the way, Marlen's got the initials NAD -- likely for Nala -- JAD, and KAD in her Instagram bio ... hey, any hint's better than no hint at all!

Anthony and Marlen decided to make things official when they held a wedding ceremony at the Beverly Hills Hotel in California in September 2021.

The affair ended up being pretty star-studded, as celebs like Adele, Rich Paul and Anthony's then-teammate LeBron James were in attendance for the ceremony.

Anthony also showed off a bit of showmanship at the event, as he serenaded his wife with a cover of Dru Hill's "Never Make a Promise" during one of their dances.

Luka Doncic has earned himself a massive NBA fan base -- but we're thinking his biggest fan has to be his future wife Anamaria Goltes!

And it turns out the athlete's been close to his fiancée for way longer than most would expect, as they first met before they'd even hit their teenage years.

We're taking a look at the professional background of Luka's partner, as well as how she ended up starting a family with her future spouse.

Goltes studied at the University of Ljubljana's School of Economics and Business in her native Slovenia, and she continued her studies after moving to Dallas, according to Sports Illustrated.

She eventually began a career as a model, and she kicked off her career by signing on to become an ambassador for Lisca Lingerie in 2017.

The athlete's fiancée's gone on to appear in various campaigns, and she was featured on the cover of Cosmopolitan Slovenia in 2019.

Goltes has also made a name for herself through her social media presence, and she regularly shares updates about her home life with the athlete on her Instagram and TikTok accounts.

So it turns out Doncic and Goltes go way, way, back, and their first meeting took place before they'd even reached their teenage years, according to the New York Post.

The model made the revelation about her personal life as part of an Instagram Q&A session in 2020, and she recalled hanging out with her now-husband for the first time "when we were 12 years old at the seaside in Croatia."

The pair's connection stayed strong after their initial encounter, and the professional basketball player popped the big question to his now-fiancée on a trip to their native Slovenia in July 2023.

Oh, and Luka proposed on July 7, which looks like it might have been a nod to his usual jersey number, 77!

Doncic's proposal wasn't the only big thing to happen for the couple in 2023 ... because their daughter Gabriela was born that same year!

Although it's unclear exactly what date the couple's child was born, Doncic and Goltes shared the news about her arrival in December 2023, when they shared photos of their baby girl on their respective Instagram accounts.

While Goltes usually keeps her daughter's face obscured in her social media posts, she's still shared several photos featuring her child on Instagram ever since her arrival.

Kylie Kelce's way more than just one of the WAGs -- wives and girlfriends, in case you didn't know -- as she's accomplished plenty on her own over the course of her relationship with her husband Jason Kelce.

The former athlete's wife has gone from matching with the NFL star on a dating app to starting a family and establishing a smash-hit podcast -- all within a decade.

We're going to check out how she made a name for herself through her media career ... and see how she ended up being associated with Taylor Swift.

Kylie was raised in Narberth, a suburb of Pennsylvania, and she attended nearby Cabrini College, from which she graduated with a degree in communications in 2017.

And Jason's not the only one with a history in athletics in his family, because his wife played field hockey for four seasons while attending college.

Her career with the sport didn't end after she left Cabrini, either, as she went on to become a field hockey coach for her former high school.

Kylie spoke about working with high school-level athletes in an interview with People and expressed she was happy to be able to lead "a wide range of athletes" through her coaching position.

Kylie eventually began a career as a podcaster, and she launched her own podcast, "Not Gonna Lie," in December 2024.

The podcast proved to be a hit with listeners, and it shot to the number one spot on both Spotify and Apple Music following its debut.

She's also established herself as a philanthropist, and she's helped organize an annual event for the Eagles Autism Foundation since 2022.

The podcaster and her husband helped raise over $1 million for the foundation at an event in New Jersey in June 2025, according to the Eagles' official website.

Kylie and Jason's love story's a pretty modern one -- they met through Tinder, and they made their relationship Instagram official in 2015.

The pair dated for two years before the former NFL star popped the big question, and they tied the knot in Philadelphia in April 2018.

Kylie and Jason started their family the following October, when the podcaster gave birth to a baby girl named Wyatt.

The philanthropist's family only grew from there, as she subsequently welcomed another three daughters named Elliotte, Bennett, and Finnley.

Just in case you've been in hibernation for a few years ... Kylie's brother-in-law is Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, who's been dating Taylor ever since 2023.

Swift showed some love to Kylie after the philanthropist gave birth to Finnley, as she liked an Instagram post commemorating the baby girl's arrival.

Malik Beasley's had quite the experience in the NBA, as he's gone from playing in some of the highest-profile basketball games to dealing with legal probes into his behavior off-court.

The professional hoops star made a name for himself for bringing serious talent to several teams in the league, as well as for his 2020 arrest and subsequent gambling probe.

We're going to check out how the shooting guard carved out a space for himself in the league -- and had to deal with some troubling matters in between games.

Beasley received several offers to play college ball when he was in high school, according to Sports Illustrated, and he eventually signed on to join Florida State's team.

The athlete only spent a single season with the Seminoles before he was drafted by the Denver Nuggets in 2016, and he remained with the organization for four years.

Beasley bounced around from team to team after he left the Nuggets, and he joined the rosters of the Minnesota Timberwolves, Utah Jazz and Milwaukee Bucks, among others.

The professional basketball player eventually ended up with the Detroit Pistons, signing with the organization in July 2024.

Beasley found himself in hot water back in 2020, when he was arrested after authorities said he'd pointed a gun at a family who'd stopped their vehicle in front of his house in Plymouth, Minnesota.

Officials later found marijuana and a stolen gun at his residence after obtaining a warrant to search the athlete's property.

Beasley eventually pleaded guilty to one felony count of threats of violence, and he claimed he "was not in my right mind" when the incident occurred and wanted to "humbly apologize for my actions."

He was sentenced to 120 days in prison, and he was ultimately released in August 2021 after serving just 78 days.

Beasley became the subject of an investigation into allegations of gambling, which were related to both NBA games and prop bets, in June 2025, according to ESPN.

A gambling industry source spoke to the outlet and claimed heavy betting activity centered on the athlete's statistics by at least one major U.S.-based sportsbook, beginning in January 2024.

However, Beasley's attorneys Steve Haney and Mike Schachter stated they were able to clear the athlete of wrongdoing after having extensive contact with the Eastern District of New York regarding the gambling probe.

Caitlin Clark's earned herself plenty of attention as the superstar face of the WNBA ... but, unfortunately, not all of that attention has been positive.

The professional basketball player had to deal with a stalker, Michael Lewis, from late 2024 to early 2025, and he was eventually sent to prison for his extensive harassment of the athlete.

We're going to take a look at how Clark's stalker found himself behind bars after exhibiting troubling behavior centered on the Indiana Fever.

Lewis was living in Denton, Texas, when he began trying to get in contact with Clark, sending her over 800 messages, many of which contained threatening and sexually-charged content, between December 2024 and January 2025, according to The Athletic.

Caitlin's stalker was also recorded as having driven all the way from Denton to Indianapolis.

Lewis reportedly drove past the Gainbridge Fieldhouse, where the Indiana Fever play their home games, on several occasions after reaching Indianapolis.

Police reportedly discovered Lewis had bought tickets to a women’s basketball game at Butler University, which Clark was set to attend.

Lewis' actions didn't go unnoticed by the authorities, and he was actually questioned by FBI agents in January 2025, when they found him at an Indy hotel.

The athlete's stalker downplayed his actions and messages to Clark, and claimed he was simply in "an imaginary relationship," and added his connection with her didn't "involve any threats."

Lewis told the agents he was in Indianapolis for vacation, and he allowed the agents to search his room to make sure he didn't have any weapons with him.

The agents warned him to stop posting about Clark, and they left after he agreed to be more judicious about his online activity.

Lewis didn't stay out of the authorities' sight for long, as he was arrested and charged with stalking, just a few days after his visit with the FBI agents.

We obtained court documents which showed Clark had been rattled by her stalker's behavior, and she was said to have changed her public appearance schedule out of concern for her personal safety.

Lewis' appearance in court was particularly troubling, as he described himself as "guilty as charged" just after sitting down, and he told the judge to "throw me the book" before complaining about not receiving medication for unspecified issues related to his mental health.

Jalen Hurts has racked up his fair share of achievements during his time with the Philadelphia Eagles ... and we think he's ranking marrying his longtime partner Bry Burrows pretty high on that list!

The thing is, the quarterback and his spouse had actually met well before he started his NFL career ... all the way back in college, to be exact.

We're going to check out what the pro football player's wife has accomplished in her own life and see how she ended up married to the athlete.

Bry holds multiple degrees, and she double majored in Spanish and political science at the University of Alabama, from which she initially graduated in 2017.

She ended up sticking around Tuscaloosa, and later earned her MBA from Alabama's Manderson School of Business.

Her hard work at school ended up paying off, too, because she started working for tech giant IBM before she'd even finished her master's degree.

Bry filled multiple roles at the company, and she eventually began dealing with IBM's artificial intelligence-focused ventures.

Burrows' time at the University of Alabama was a game changer for another reason -- it's where she actually met Jalen for the first time!

And it's worth mentioning the NFL superstar spent three seasons with the Crimson Tide before transferring to the University of Oklahoma for his senior year.

The pair remained close for years before Bry was spotted at one of her now-husband's games in 2023, and at the time, he told Essence he knew his partner was the one for him "a long time ago."

While the athlete admitted they weren't married yet, he referred to himself as "spoken for" when speaking about his relationship.

Hurts eventually decided to take his relationship with Burrows to the next level, and he proposed to her in September 2024.

And if you weren't convinced about their romance by now ... he referred to her as his "rock" at a press conference just before the 2025 Super Bowl, according to Essence.

Bry and Jalen held a private wedding ceremony later in the year, and then tied the knot for the second time with a big multi-day June event in Napa Valley.
