Joe Thuney has been the silent yet irreplaceable piece for his team on the O-line. His presence was crucial for Tom Brady orchestrating the play when the New England Patriots lifted the 2 Lombardi Trophies. He was the guard while Patrick Mahomes was weaving his magic at the Kansas City Chiefs en route to their back-to-back Super Bowl victories. He doesn’t have the recognition per se, but he has his 4 rings to show for it, and he is in the shoo-in for a historic 5th.

The huge colossal 6’5″ frame weighing 304 lbs is just a crushing barrier for any defense trying to reach the ball. He epitomizes devastating aggression while his team’s playmakers can be sleek operators. But away from the pitch, Joe is exactly the opposite. His hobbies are golfing and fishing. Yes, all his aggressive demeanor disappears when he is away from the field. Away from the NFL, Joe Thuney is a very low-key and private person and barely makes the news. So, it’s kinda difficult to get to know what happens in the Super Bowl Champion’s life, like what’s the relationship status of Joe right now?

Is Joe Thuney married?

Well, from the little that we know, Thuney is married to his college sweetheart Rachel, who he met at NC State. Joe attended NC State from 2011 to 2015, and since their college days, they have been together. They have done a mighty good job of keeping it private and staying out of the limelight. Sometimes, they are seen in major public events, but that’s about it.

And it also doesn’t look like they have any children yet, as Joe and Rachel have prioritized getting properly settled and well-established before they want to venture into the responsibilities and duties of parenthood. Dominating the NFL year after year is as hard as it gets, and Joe and Rachel probably want to make sure they are well-positioned before they can start the next chapter in their journey.

Parenthood is no cakewalk. But yes, maybe Joe’s parents have been lucky with the way things have turned out for Joe. And they are proud of their champion son.

Who are Joe’s parents?

Joe’s father, Mike Thuney, is a physician. It does get a bit hectic for Thuney Sr. to juggle his medical duties and watch his son dominate inside the 120 by 53.3 field. But nothing gives you the adrenaline rush like seeing your son win Super Bowls. Mike was there with his son, the whole family, celebrating the 2nd Super Bowl win with the Patriots: “The confetti was flying and just tears of joy at that point to be done with everything and taking it all in, absorbing the camaraderie and intensity. It’s almost too much to explain.”

Mike also acknowledges the value of his son in the team: “Joseph is kind of the secret ingredient.”

As for Joe’s mother, Beth is already a proud mother who doesn’t ask anything more of her son. She is just happy to see the game and knowing how mothers are, she probably just wants her boy to be safe and unharmed.

But Joe Thuney is standing in the footsteps of historic glory. Only the Philadelphia Eagles remain on his path to becoming back-to-back 3 times Super Bowl Champions with the same team. It has never happened before—and Thuney can be part of that history.
