If you’re a fan of the Philadelphia Eagles, you’re surely aware of the team’s super-star quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Super Bowl LIX champion and MVP honoree has made major waves this year, and has rapidly grown to become one of the most celebrated and recognizable faces in the NFL. Since the Houston native has been successfully collecting rings lately, you may find yourself wondering if he’s married yet. Luckily, according to a brief comment made during an interview with Men’s Health, we can confirm that Jalen Hurts and his longtime girlfriend Bryonna “Bry” Burrows have officially tied the knot. When asked about his engagement with the lovely University of Alabama graduate, Hurts simply stated, “You can call her my wife.”
The couple initially announced their engagement during the second half of 2024. Their journey from college sweethearts to apparent newlyweds has captured the hearts of fans and the media alike, despite Hurts’ extremely private nature. Since the happy couple have officially inked their marriage license, now seems like as good a time as any to explore their history, relationship and see what we can learn about what the future holds.
When Did The Couple Meet?
Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows first met each other while attending the University of Alabama back in 2016. Hurts, a standout quarterback, and Burrows, a dedicated student, quickly formed a bond. Their relationship blossomed despite the demands of the athlete’s burgeoning football career and his other half’s academic pursuits. Though they first began seeing each other romantically in 2018, this duo didn’t confirm their relationship to the public until 2023. This was after Hurts made his first career appearance in the Super Bowl. They were spotted cozying up during an NFC Championship celebration that year, prompting reporters to inquire about their relationship status.
Later that year, Jalen got candid about his relationship with Burrows, explaining in an interview with Essence magazine, “I’m not married or anything like that. But I am spoken for.” When prompted about whether Burrows is “the one,” Jalen Hurts simply responded “I knew a long time ago. I mean, to this point in my life, that’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.”
Who Is Bry Burrows?
Though she has become a household name for Philadelphia natives thanks to her recent marriage, Bry Burrows is much more than just Jalen Hurts’ wife. The 27-year-old has an impressive career of her own. After graduating from the University of Alabama with a Bachelor’s Degree, she later completed her MBA from the Manderson School of Business. Burrows currently works as an Artificial Intelligence Partner at IBM, as she has since 2022. Much like her husband, Burrows has chosen to live an intensely private lifestyle, and doesn’t appear to chase after the fame and name recognition that many football wives enjoy. She deleted her LinkedIn page shortly after becoming recognizable on a national stage, and maintains a private Instagram account with fewer than 500 approved followers.
When Did Jalen Hurts Propose?
Hurts proposed to Burrows in a romantic tropical setting in September 2024. The romantic occasion was marked with lit candles and red rose petals. The couple shared their engagement news with Essence magazine in an exclusive story, explaining that the proposal was a private affair. Still, the couple later shared their joy with the world through social media and interviews. While Hurts and Burrows have kept much of their relationship lowkey, they have made several public appearances together.
One of their most notable outings included a red carpet debut at the Time 100 Next Gala in October 2023, where the NFL icon was honored as one of the most influential people of the year. The couple were also seen celebrating together on the field after the Eagles took home the Super Bowl championship in February 2025. Hurts and Burrows would later find themselves posted all over social media, after fans found them sharing in each other’s company during a celebratory trip to Disney World.
What Does the Future Hold for the Young Couple?
Now that Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows have officially tied the knot, there’s no way of knowing what they have coming around the bend. As stated, the couple are notoriously tight-lipped with the public, so we don’t know if they’re planning to have kids or not. Either way, the world is certainly their oyster. With one half of the couple making significant headway in emerging technology, and the other racking up Super Bowl wins, Hurts and Burrows may just be one of the biggest power couples in the NFL.
