Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has officially tied the knot with longtime partner Bryonna “Bry” Burrows in a private ceremony, concluding a seven-year romance that began during their University of Alabama days and a year which saw him lead his team to shocking 40-22 dismantling of the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The couple, who confirmed their engagement in September 2024, opted for an intimate celebration away from the public eye, reflecting their preference for privacy amid NFL stardom.

Hurts and Burrows first crossed paths at the University of Alabama, where Hurts quarterbacked the Crimson Tide football team and Burrows excelled academically. A member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., Burrows earned dual bachelor’s degrees in Spanish and political science before completing her MBA at Alabama’s Manderson School of Business. Meanwhile, Hurts, a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., transferred to Oklahoma for his senior season before being drafted by the Eagles in 2020.

Their relationship blossomed through career shifts, including Hurts’ rise to NFL prominence and Burrows’ ascent at IBM, where she now serves as an artificial intelligence partner. “I knew a long time ago,” Hurts told Essence in 2023 about their bond. “That’s an irreplaceable feeling. It’s what allowed us to get to where we are now” (Essence via People).

True to form, the couple withheld all ceremony details—including location, guest list, and attire—until after exchanging vows. The secrecy is typical of how Hurts has managed his private life, although there was no way of hiding his very public $255 million contract extension in 2023.

While Hurts prepares for the 2025 NFL season, Burrows continues her work at IBM, where she’s advocated for diversity in tech through mentorship programs. The couple’s shared commitment to philanthropy includes Hurts’ “Day of Care” initiatives in Philadelphia and Burrows’ leadership in IBM’s Accelerate program for minority students.
