Who Is

Jalen Brunson's history with the NBA stretches all the way back to 2018 ... but his history with his wife, Ali Marks, goes even further back!

Get this ... the professional basketball player and his spouse first met before they'd become adults, and they've remained together since their time in high school.

Here's a look at how the athlete's wife established herself professionally ... and how she eventually started a family with her longtime partner.

Ali and Jalen met all the way back in their teenage years, as they both attended Adlai E. Stevenson High School, located just outside of Chicago.

The athlete and his now-wife were pretty open about their relationship during their high school years, as they shared photos featuring each other on their respective Instagram accounts.

And if the photos weren’t enough to convince you already … they were each other’s date to their senior prom back in 2015!

Jalen and Ali’s time in high school was apparently a pretty good experience, because he proposed to her on the basketball court of their high school’s gym -- way, way later on, of course.

Ali stayed in her home state for her college years, attending the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where she graduated with degrees in kinesiology and exercise science.

The professional basketball player’s wife attended graduate school at Northwestern University, and she earned a doctoral degree in physical therapy in 2021.

Ali started her professional career as a rehabilitation aide, and she held the position for two years, according to her LinkedIn account.

She eventually became a full-on physical therapist, and she's documented much of her professional experience on one of her two Instagram accounts.

Ali and Jalen made things official in July 2023, when they held a wedding ceremony at the Ritz-Carlton in Chicago.

The couple spoke about the event in an interview with People, where the physical therapist stated she wanted "nonstop dancing" after the two said their vows.

And it didn't take too long for the couple to start a family, either, because they welcomed a daughter named Jordyn the following July.

Tommy Castellanos has seen some bumps so far in his college football journey ... but at least it's never been boring!

The quarterback's bounced around between several schools over the length of his collegiate career, and he's finally found a home with the Florida State Seminoles.

We're going to see how the athlete ended up playing ball in Tallahassee after switching from university to university ... and check out how his past comments about a rival institution garnered criticism within the sports world.

Tommy first sparked interest from recruiters while playing quarterback for Ware County High School in his hometown of Waycross, Georgia.

Oh, and it's worth mentioning football wasn't the athlete's only interest in high school, as he was on Ware County's basketball, soccer, and track and field squads.

Tommy led the Ware County High School Gators to a 10-2 record in his junior year, clinching them a spot in the state's AAAAA Playoffs.

His prowess on the field attracted the attention of several institutions while he prepared to head to college, including Florida State and the University of Central Florida ... remember those names for later.

Tommy started his college career at the University of Central Florida, where he committed in 2021 ... and he spent the 2022 season playing with the Knights.

The athlete pulled a fast one the following April when he entered the transfer portal, and he ended up at Boston College.

Tommy served as the Eagles' starting quarterback at the beginning of the 2023 season, although he got bumped from the starting position the following season.

He announced his intention to transfer shortly after being losing his starting position, and he began playing for Florida State in August 2025.

Tommy found himself in hot water prior to the start of the 2025 season for comments he made about the University of Alabama's football squad -- in other words, trash talk.

The quarterback told On3 Sports he didn't see the Crimson Tide "stopping me" and said the team didn't have former coach Nick Saban to "save them."

He doubled down on the comments while speaking to On3's Warchant, and claimed he didn't mean any "disrespect" ... he just wanted college football fans to know he had "confidence in my guys."

Braxton Berrios has earned himself a decent-sized fanbase over his career in the NFL -- and his girlfriend, Alix Earle, has a pretty sizable following, too!

The Houston Texans wide receiver's been linked to the influencer since 2023, when eagle-eyed fans shared videos of them out together on TikTok ... and they went public with their romance the same year.

We're going to take a look at the personal and professional lives of the social media powerhouse and see how she ended up with the athlete.

Alix was born and raised in New Jersey to a pair of parents who both attended Lynn University in Florida.

The influencer's parents split up at an early age, and her father later married Ashley Dupré -- who had already become a household name about 20 years earlier when she was involved in a prostitution scandal centered around former New York governor Eliot Spitzer.

Alix's mother and her stepmother eventually grew close, and Alix told Elle she was happy to be a member of what she described as a "very modern" family in 2023.

The social media star followed in her parents' footsteps and headed to Florida for college, where she attended the University of Miami and graduated with a marketing degree in 2023.

Alix kicked off her social media career during her freshman year of college, when she began sharing videos on her TikTok account.

Her popularity on the platform received a serious boost in 2022, when she documented her struggle with acne in several videos shared on her account.

She later gained extra exposure for her widely followed "Get ready with me" videos, in which she shows off her outfits and makeup routines.

Alix currently has 7.5 million followers on her TikTok account, as well as 4.5 million on Instagram, and she was included on the Time100 Creators 2025 list, which ranks the most influential digital content creators in the world.

Social media isn't Alix's only focus ... she's embarked on a career as a podcast host over the past few years.

Alix started the "Hot Mess With Alix Earle" podcast in 2023, and she formerly worked with podcasting star Alex Cooper -- although the show was dropped by Cooper's Unwell Network in 2025.

The show exploded in popularity upon its debut, and it briefly beat "The Joe Rogan Experience" on Spotify's podcast chart.

Oh, and she's going to be heading to TV, too, because she's set to compete on the 34th season of ABC's "Dancing With The Stars."

Alix and Braxton were first spotted together back in 2023, when a video showing them meeting a fan at a restaurant in Miami began circulating on TikTok.

It's worth mentioning Braxton isn't the first athlete the influencer has dated in the past, as she was linked to professional baseball player Tyler Wade for a few months in 2022.

She eventually moved on with Berrios, and they made their red carpet debut at the 2023 ESPY Awards ceremony.

Abby and Brittany Hensel have had interesting lives, as they're one of the only pairs of dicephalic parapagus twins to survive past infancy.

And sharing a body's never held the sisters back, either, as they've graduated from college, seen interesting parts of the world -- and worn a wedding dress on Abby's big day!

Here's a look at how the conjoined twins have earned themselves plenty of achievements over the course of their lives ... and see how they sparked rumors about the start of a family.

Abby and Brittany were born in 1990 in Minnesota, and their condition means they've got two heads and share a body.

Although they have separate hearts and different personalities, they share all their organs below their waist, as well as a single bloodstream.

The twins' father Mike spoke to Time when they were kids and said neither he nor his wife Patty wanted the two to be surgically separated, as that likely would have killed one -- or both -- of the girls.

While the sisters had a small third arm surgically removed after they were born, they haven't required further operations related to their condition.

Abby and Brittany decided to stay in Minnesota for their college years, and they attended Bethel University, where they both graduated with degrees in education.

The pair eventually took a position as a teacher, and they entered the field not long after they graduated from Bethel.

Although they each hold degrees, the twins are only paid a single salary, as they fill a single position in their school district, and they split their pay, according to E! News.

Abby and Brittany also hold separate educational interests, as Abby's more confident in her math and science skills, while her sister's better with language arts.

Abby and Brittany's birth was kind of a big deal, as there's only a few cases of dicephalic parapagus twins surviving past infancy, and their first TV appearance was in 1996 on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."

The two were featured in several other television specials over the years before they began starring in their own series, titled "Abby & Brittany."

The show followed the twins as they graduated from Bethel, traveled around Europe, and looked for their first job.

"Abby & Brittany" ran for eight episodes ... the show's sole season premiered and concluded in 2012.

Abby eventually found love, and she married Army veteran Josh Bowling back in 2021, according to Today.

Abby also became a stepmother to her husband's daughter, who he welcomed with his first wife.

Nina Agdal's had a pretty wild ride through runways and fashion shoots over the course of her modeling career, and it looks like she's finally ready to settle down a bit ... because she finally got married to Logan Paul!

The fashion industry figure and the WWE star started a family prior to their wedding ceremony. Here's a look at how Nina navigated her way through the modeling industry before she welcomed a child with Paul.

Nina was born in Denmark, and she was raised in Hillerød, a small city located just north of the capital, Copenhagen.

She signed with a modeling agency in her teenage years and moved to Miami, Florida at the age of 18 to pursue her career.

The move ended up being a pretty solid decision as Nina's career took off, and she's been featured in campaigns for brands like Billabong and Victoria's Secret.

Nina's posed alongside Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge on the cover of the 2014 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue ... she's been featured in the Swimsuit Issue a total of six times.

Nina and Logan first met in 2022, and she later admitted in an interview with The Daily Front Row she was the one to make the first move, recalling her "gut was screaming that I had to say hi to him."

She said she had to convince him to join her for a drink with her friends, and said it "felt like I had known him for years" after they started joking around together.

The pair eventually started dating, and Logan made their relationship Instagram official in December 2022.

Nina didn't have to wait too long for their romance to go to the next level, because he proposed to her while they were on vacation in Italy the following July.

Nina and Logan revealed they were expecting a child in April 2024, when he shared several photos online. The model gave birth to their daughter Esme that September.

Nina and Logan eventually decided to tie the knot, and they held a wedding ceremony in Lake Como, Italy, in August 2025.

Carson Beck's earned lots of fans throughout his college football career ... although we don't think his ex-girlfriend Hanna Cavinder is on that list anymore.

The University of Miami quarterback and the social media star were linked throughout much of 2024 and the early part of 2025, but they ultimately went their separate ways ... and she had some choice words about him in an interview conducted after their split.

We're going to see how the TikTok personality rose to fame ... and why she decided to end things with the athlete.

Hanna's been playing basketball since her high school days, and she continued with the sport when she began attending California State University, Fresno in 2019.

And she wasn't alone when she started playing for the Bulldogs ... her twin sister Haley signed up to play alongside her the same year!

The twins remained with Fresno State until 2022, when they announced their intention to transfer schools, and they ended up at the University of Miami in Florida.

Hanna and her sister stayed with the Hurricanes all the way up to the end of the 2024-2025 season ... Hanna started in all of the team's 29 games.

Hanna's public profile began to rise after she started creating content for TikTok with Haley during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The pair's fame only grew after the NCAA started allowing student athletes to monetize their names, images, and likenesses in 2021, and they signed endorsement deals with companies like Boost Mobile and Under Armour, according to ESPN.

The sisters' popularity continued at Miami, and they ended up on the 2025 Forbes 30 Under 30 Sports list.

Speaking with ESPN, Hanna claimed her her sister's lives had "changed tremendously," and she described their newfound roles as influencers as "the most surreal job."

Hanna and Carson were first linked in July 2024, when she shared a now-deleted photo of him wearing his Georgia Bulldogs uniform on her Instagram account.

The quarterback confirmed he was dating the social media personality in an interview with ESPN the following month.

Carson wasn't camera-shy when he was dating Hanna, showing up in several of her social media posts over the length of their relationship.

The two had their cars stolen in February 2025 -- Beck's Mercedes and Lamborghini and Cavinder's Range Rover were taken as they slept ... two of the vehicles were eventually found, according to ESPN.

The thing is, Hanna and Carson's love story eventually came to an end -- and it wasn't a pretty breakup.

The influencer talked with Kai Trump -- Donald's granddaughter -- in April 2025, and when she was asked about the quarterback's personality, Hanna claimed her ex had "an ego" and said she was often "embarrassed" by his conduct, according to Fox Sports.

Hanna said she was aware of rumors of "cheating" on her ex's part, she didn't know about any infidelity.

Arch Manning's making a name for himself in the world of football ... where he's following in the footsteps of his uncles Peyton and Eli.

The University of Texas, Austin quarterback's relatives had their own time on the gridiron, and they each racked up impressive achievements -- like leading their respective teams to the Super Bowl multiple times.

We're going to check out how the athlete's uncles' careers in football played out and see what they've had to say about their nephew's skills on the field.

Peyton became a household name during his career as a quarterback in the NFL, which lasted for 18 seasons.

The retired athlete spent the first 14 seasons of his career with the Indianapolis Colts, starting in 1998, leading the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2007.

Peyton remained with the Colts until 2012, when started playing for the Denver Broncos.

Peyton took the Broncos to Super Bowl 50 in 2016 -- which they won -- and he decided to go out on top, retiring shortly after the victory.

Peyton's brother Eli, on the other hand, stayed with a single team -- the New York Giants -- for the length of his NFL career.

The quarterback led the Giants to Super Bowl XLII in 2008, where they pulled off a major upset against the New England Patriots.

Eli took the Giants to the Super Bowl for the second time in 2012, defeating the Patriots again to win it all.

Eli remained with the team for another seven seasons, announcing his retirement from professional football in January 2020.

Peyton and Eli stayed in the game, however, co-hosting "ManningCast," an ESPN2 program where they watch live football games and mess with each other at the same time.

Oh, and the former quarterbacks have been pretty open about their support for their nephew's path in college football over the past few years, too.

Peyton spoke to Sporting News in June 2025 and said he was "proud" of Arch for making a "commitment" to sticking with the University of Texas and improving his game with the Longhorns.

French Montana's been linked to some pretty big names in the past -- like Khloe Kardashian and Iggy Azalea, just to name a couple -- now it looks like he's ready to settle down, because he's engaged to Sheikha Mahra!

We broke the news about the happy couple's engagement in August 2025, and it appears as if the rapper's ready to stick it out with his future wife for the long run.

Here's a look at how the life of the rapper's fiancée looked before she started planning out a life with the songwriter.

Mahra's a member of the royal family of the United Arab Emirates ... she's the daughter of Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, who's the Ruler of Dubai -- a city in the UAE -- and holds the positions of Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE.

And Mahra's not the Sheikh's only daughter -- by a long shot! -- as he's fathered numerous children with several partners.

Sheikha eventually pursued higher education in London, and she shared several photos from her 2023 graduation on Instagram.

She's also got a bit of an entrepreneurial streak to her, as she launched a fragrance line, Mahra M1, in 2024, although her brand appears to have shut down.

French Montana's not Mahra's first partner, as she was formerly married to Sheik Mana Bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, who's also a member of the royal family.

The pair tied the knot in a lavish wedding ceremony in June 2023, and Mahra later gave birth to a daughter.

However, the rapper's future wife ultimately split up from her first husband in 2024 via Instagram ... she posted a message to let him know about their breakup, which partially read "I divorce you, I divorce you, and I Divorce You. Take care. Your ex-wife," according to CNN.

The message appeared to contain a reference to triple talaq -- or "instant divorce" -- a practice in some Muslim-majority countries where a man can immediately divorce his wife by declaring his intention three times in a row. It's not typically done to husbands though.

Mahra and French Montana were initially linked back in 2024, when she shared a set of photos on Instagram showing the rapper around Dubai.

The rapper and the royal family member were subsequently seen together on various dates, mainly around Europe and the Middle East. French is from Morocco, and he's produced a documentary film detailing his family's history.

The thing is, they'd been engaged for a little while before letting the public know, as the performer popped the big question during Paris Fashion Week in June.

Bruce Willis has been through ups and downs in his career ... and his wife Emma Heming's definitely seen her share of hills and valleys, too.

The actor's spouse has gone from strutting down some of the most glamorous runways in the world to starting a family with her partner ... before he received a devastating dementia diagnosis.

Here's a look at how the fashion industry figure made a name for herself ... and how she embraced her role as a caregiver after her husband began his battle with a degenerative disease.

Emma was born in Malta, and she was raised between London and Costa Mesa, California, according to her CAA profile.

Her modeling career kicked off at an early age, and she was featured in publications like Vogue, Marie Claire, and Elle, among others.

And she's spent plenty of time on the runway, as she's modeled for numerous brands -- do the names Chanel or Ralph Lauren sound familiar at all?

On top of all that, Emma's done various campaigns for Dior Cosmetics ... all in all, it's a pretty stacked resume.

Emma and Bruce first met in the late 2000s, and she later accompanied him to the premiere of his movie "What Just Happened?" at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.

The pair moved quickly with their relationship, and she married the "Pulp Fiction" star in Turks and Caicos in March 2009.

Emma and Bruce's eldest daughter, Mabel, was born in 2012, and their second child, Evelyn, arrived two years later.

Oh, and the model's established a close friendship with her husband's ex-wife, Demi Moore, with whom he shares daughters Rumer, Tallulah, and Scout.

Emma's been around for the length of her husband's battle with dementia, and she shared a message on her Instagram account to let her followers know he'd be stepping away from his acting career to focus on his health in March 2022.

She shared another update the following February that Bruce had officially been diagnosed with frontotemporal dementia, a catchall term for a group of diseases affecting the areas of the brain associated with things like personality and language, according to the Mayo Clinic.

Emma's since become one of Bruce's main caregivers. She said she had "a really hard time" acclimating to the challenges presented by her husband's battle with the disease in an interview with ABC News.

She also revealed Bruce had moved into a separate home, and said he would have wanted their daughters to live in a home "more tailored to their needs" than his own.

Emma's since embarked on several ventures related to her experience of managing her husband's battle with frontotemporal dementia, and she launched a wellness supplement company, Make Time Wellness, in 2023.

She went on to start the "Make Time Podcast," where she offers tips about healthy living and personal wellness.

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.
