Justin Tucker, the man with the golden leg, isn’t just the most accurate kicker in NFL history; he’s also a dedicated family man. His story isn’t just about game-winning field goals or opera performances—it’s about love, commitment, and fatherhood.
Justin Tucker Welcomed His Son, Easton Hayes, With Amanda Bass in 2016
Justin Tucker shares a close-knit family with his wife, Amanda Bass, and their son, Easton Hayes Tucker. Fans often wonder about his children, but Easton is their only kid, born in 2016. Though dedicated to his family life, he now faces allegations he strongly denies, emphasizing their impact on his wife and child.
The story started back in 2010 when Justin met Amanda Bass at the University of Texas. He was busy making a name for himself with the Texas Longhorns, and she was carving out her own path. The two hit it off quickly, and by 2013, Justin popped the question in a picture-perfect moment—overlooking the Baltimore skyline, no less. Romantic? Absolutely. The couple tied the knot on March 28, 2015, in a stunning outdoor wedding in Austin, Texas, surrounded by family, friends, and even a few of Justin’s Ravens teammates. That was just the beginning of their lifelong partnership.
Fast forward to November 2015, and the Tuckers had big news to share: they were expecting their first child. Amanda took to social media, posting a heartfelt message alongside Justin: “We’ve been keeping this little guy a secret. Adding one more Tucker this spring!” The excitement was palpable, not just for them but for Ravens Nation, who had come to adore the couple’s love story.
On May 10, 2016, at exactly 8 pounds, 13 ounces, and 23 inches long, Easton Hayes Tucker made his grand entrance into the world. Justin, always one for a good social media moment, posted, “Welcome to the world, Easton Hayes! We love you so much!!” From that moment, life changed for the Tuckers in the best possible way. Justin had been known for his cool, collected demeanor on the field, but fatherhood introduced a whole new level of responsibility—and joy.
Being an NFL kicker means intense training, countless hours away from home, and an ever-changing schedule, but for Justin, one thing remained constant: family first. “Obviously, there’s schedules to manage and all that comes with being a professional athlete… But as far as our family is concerned, it’s dad first,” he said in an interview. That philosophy became even more evident as Easton grew older and started taking an interest in football himself.
By the time Easton was two years old, he was already imitating his dad. In 2019, Justin posted a now-viral video of his toddler splitting the uprights in their backyard. The best part? Easton nailed it with his left foot—the opposite of his dad’s signature right leg. “Dude, that was awesome!” Justin shouted before running over to fist-bump his son. That little moment solidified what many already suspected: Easton had inherited some serious talent.
The bond between father and son only grew stronger over the years. In January 2020, at just three years old, Easton joined Justin at the Pro Bowl, where he got a taste of life as an NFL kicker. The Ravens even shared a clip of the little guy practicing his kicks, jokingly calling him a “Future Pro Bowler.” As Easton grew older, his appreciation for the game deepened.
Now, at nine years old, he’s not just watching his dad—he’s out there on the field during training camps, meeting stars like Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews, and soaking in every bit of the Ravens’ culture. Justin, for his part, has embraced the role of football dad with open arms. “I don’t even know if I’m my own son’s favorite player,” he joked, knowing full well that Easton’s awe was reserved for the entire team, not just his All-Pro kicker dad.
Justin Tucker: Family, Fatherhood, and the Controversy That Shakes His Legacy
While Justin’s professional life has been filled with accolades, from breaking kicking records to singing opera on national television, his personal life hasn’t been without its challenges. In January 2025, news broke that he was facing allegations of inappropriate behavior from multiple massage therapists between 2012 and 2016.
Tucker swiftly denied the accusations, calling them “unequivocally false” and expressing his commitment to protecting his family’s name. “As a matter of principle, I respect when individuals come forward to report misconduct of any kind… But for the sake of myself and my family, I cannot allow false claims to go unchallenged,” he stated firmly. Amanda, who had been a constant source of support throughout his career, remained silent publicly, but her presence beside him spoke volumes.
Through it all, Justin has remained steadfast in his faith, often making the sign of the cross before every kick and using his platform to share his deep Catholic beliefs. His talents extend beyond football; he’s a classically trained bass-baritone who has sung opera in seven different languages. From serenading fans in Royal Farms commercials to winning the NFL’s “Most Valuable Performer” talent show with a stunning rendition of “Ave Maria,” Justin is truly a man of many talents. But if you ask him, his greatest role isn’t on the field or the stage—it’s at home, being a husband to Amanda and a father to Easton.
As Easton continues to grow, it’s clear that football is just one part of their family story. Whether the little guy follows in his dad’s footsteps or carves out his own path, one thing is for sure: the Tuckers’ journey is far from over. And for Justin, no matter how many records he breaks, the best title he’ll ever hold is simply “Dad.”
