Jalen Hurts has spent his career making history on the football field, but his most important victory might have happened off the gridiron. The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback has been in an on-again, off-again relationship with Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows since their college days, and in September 2024, he made things official by proposing in a breathtaking beachside setting.
With candles flickering around them, red roses strewn about, and a violinist playing in the background, Hurts got down on one knee and asked Burrows to be his wife. She said yes, and just a few months later, as green and white confetti rained down at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans after the Eagles’ dominant 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl 2025, the couple shared a rare and emotional kiss on the field.
Who Is Jalen Hurts’ Wife? Is He Married to Bry Burrows? Do They Have Any Kids?
Their journey began at the University of Alabama, where Jalen Hurts played quarterback for the Crimson Tide from 2016 to 2018 before transferring to the University of Oklahoma. Meanwhile, Bry Burrows pursued a bachelor’s degree in Spanish and political science, graduating in 2017 before earning her MBA from Alabama’s Manderson School of Business in 2019.
The couple’s love story unfolded quietly, mostly away from the public eye, until January 2023, when Burrows made her first public appearance as Hurts’ partner, walking onto the field at Lincoln Financial Stadium after the Eagles’ NFC Championship win against the San Francisco 49ers. The internet buzzed with speculation, but Hurts remained tight-lipped—until a few months later, when he finally confirmed to Essence that he was “spoken for” and that Burrows had been by his side for years.
While Jalen Hurts commands the football field with poise and precision, Burrows has carved out an impressive career in the tech world. She joined IBM straight out of college, starting as a senior client experience consultant in Dallas before climbing the ranks to her current role as an artificial intelligence partner.
She is deeply committed to mentoring young professionals, having coached in IBM’s eight-week Accelerate program in 2022, which helps minority undergraduate students prepare for careers in business. She also participated in a Diversity & Inclusion panel in 2021, where she passionately spoke about how real inclusivity goes beyond race and gender—it’s about valuing lived experiences and fostering community in the workplace.
Despite their demanding careers, the couple finds time to support each other. Bry Burrows has been spotted in the stands cheering Jalen Hurts on, most notably at the Eagles’ season opener against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil in September 2024. She also accompanied him on the red carpet at the New York premiere of The Evolution of the Black Quarterback and at the Time100 Next Gala in October 2023, where Hurts was an honoree. Hurts, on the other hand, has openly expressed how much Burrows means to him. During a press conference leading up to the Super Bowl, he took a moment to thank her, calling her “the rock that I can lean on.”
Hurts’ journey to the Super Bowl wasn’t just about avenging the Eagles’ heartbreaking 38-35 loss to the Chiefs in 2023—it was about redemption, perseverance, and proving that he belonged among the league’s elite. At just 26 years old, he became a Super Bowl MVP, throwing for 221 yards and two touchdowns while also leading the Eagles in rushing with 72 yards on 11 attempts. After the game, he took a moment to embrace his father, Averion Hurts, who had coached him since childhood. With tears in his eyes, Hurts finally let the weight of the moment sink in.

Off the field, Jalen Hurts is just as dedicated to making an impact. In December 2022, he launched his Day of Care initiative in Philadelphia, distributing coats to families in need, mentoring young athletes, and visiting children battling cancer. In 2021, he partnered with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, spending time with a seven-year-old battling cancer and surprising the child’s mother with a $30,000 donation to help them find a better home. “A moment like that,” Hurts reflected, “just puts everything into perspective.”
Burrows shares that same philanthropic spirit, using her platform to uplift others. She has spoken at Manderson Women in Business events, championing women in leadership, and continues to mentor young professionals looking to break into the tech industry. She also finds solace in nature, once sharing that getting outside and staying active is her personal “game changer.”

Though Hurts has always kept his personal life private, he has never hidden how much Burrows means to him. “I knew a long time ago,” he told Essence in 2023. “That’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.” And now, with a Super Bowl ring, an MVP title, and his future wife by his side, Jalen Hurts is proving that he’s winning on and off the field.
