Brandon McManus has spent over ten years in the NFL as the placekicker. This year, the special teams’ agent was engulfed in controversy, facing accusations of misconduct. Through all the tribulations of being in the limelight in America’s biggest sport, it’s his wife, Nadia McManus, who has stood steadfastly by his side.

The McManus’s have been together for eight years after first crossing paths during their college days. Nadia even moved to Denver, abandoning her life in Philadelphia, when the kicker joined the Broncos in 2014. Today, the couple shares three adorable children together and seem to be living it up.

Brandon and Nadia McManus’ three kids

When the two met at Temple University, it was love at first sight for Brandon. Soon enough, a new couple was in town. While Nadia was working in the dental industry in Philadelphia, the kicker was working to cement his foot in the professional league.

After Brandon got his big break with the Broncos, Nadia relocated to Denver, supporting her partner in his NFL dream. Two years later, after enjoying the Super Bowl victory, the couple tied the knot in a fairytale wedding in the Dominican Republic, attended by close friends and family.

The couple has three children together: Caden, Luca, and Oliver. Though Nadia prefers to keep a low profile on social media, Brandon is often seen celebrating her bond with the children through adorable photographs.

Brandon McManus dedicates Mother’s Day wishes to Nadia

Being a mother of three young kids, supporting an NFL star husband, and maintaining one’s individuality is undoubtedly a tiring task. The one thing we can do is thank the mother or wife figure for making sacrifices for the family. Brandon did exactly that as he posted a special message of thanks to Nadia on Mother’s Day.

The kicker posted an endearing picture of his wife with their three boys playing in the sand. The caption carried a heartwarming message for Nadia, “Happy Mother’s Day to the most deserving and best mom who puts everyone else first. Caden, Luca, Oliver and I can’t thank you enough for everything. We Love You”

Nadia is a prime example of a behind-the-scenes family member who provides silent, steadfast support to NFL athletes to help them achieve their dreams. Being in the midst of controversies this year, it will be interesting to see how Brandon McManus’s upcoming season pans out in the Washington Commanders.
