If we start listing one of the best OTs in the NFL right now, don’t forget to mention Houston’s Laremy Tunsil. When Laremy was drafted by the Dolphins back in 2016, he quickly made his presence known with his elite pass-blocking abilities. Not so long ago, he received an impressive pass-block grade of 88.6, ranking 5th among 141 players. Sheesh, he is literally a monster on the gridiron—players don’t wanna mess with him.
In his first five seasons with Houston, he made four consecutive Pro Bowls. I know, right? He’s got the X-factor that pushed the team up to the NFL divisional round. Houston isn’t thinking about letting him go that easily. Can you hear the cha-ching? If not, then his $75 million contract extension might help. And it makes the fans even more curious to have a peek at his life off the field.

Laremy Tunsil is a single man, or is he? Because he’s clearly married to the game and enjoying the life that comes with it. Just go check his Instagram out. He can either be seen working hard on the gridiron or partying like a king. In one of the IG posts, you can clearly see money spread over the pool. I think we get it, what he is trying to say with that post, right?
In a GQ Sports interview, Tunsil flaunted how he spent his first million. Obviously, he got himself two cars, but not just any cars, a $300K Lamborghini truck and $250K Bentley. And a rich man like him needs a watch too, so he got himself a $200K Richard Mille. I know what you’re thinking—that’s a lot of luxury. It’s clear he’s prioritizing making and enjoying his wealth, than focusing on romance for now.

But Tunsil isn’t just rich in his bank account—he’s wealthy in generosity too. A few weeks ago, he posted a heartwarming vlog on his YouTube channel, where he gave dozens of kids the chance to buy anything they wanted for Christmas at Target. He also recently surprised single moms and their children with a shopping spree at Walmart and treated them to a holiday dinner at Gracewood. This thoughtful gesture for the single mothers makes you wonder about his own family life.
Who are Laremy Tunsil’s parents?
You must’ve heard “Dear Mama” by Tupac. Well, that song would fit perfectly in Laremy Tunsil’s relationship with his momma, Desiree Polingo. It wasn’t easy for her to raise Laremy, but she worked tirelessly for him. Desiree juggled several jobs, to make sure there’s food on the table. Even though they were living a hard knock life, she never let Laremy work anywhere.

Laremy shared this emotional statement in an interview: “My mom did not let me have a job as a teenager, at all. She just wanted me to focus on football. Any type of sports—football, basketball, track. She did not want me to have a job.”
But it wasn’t all smooth sailing in the Tunsil household. Laremy’s stepfather, Lindsey Miller, had a strained relationship with him, and things took a dramatic turn in 2015. After a heated argument, Laremy defended his mother, leading to an altercation that resulted in his arrest for domestic assault. Even though the situation with Miller continues to simmer, Laremy credits Desiree’s unwavering work ethic for his own determination. Her strength taught him how to keep moving forward, no matter the obstacles.
