The Cincinnati Bengals backup quarterback Jake Browning and Joe Burrow’s “side piece” would make the news soon enough after he claimed the Statue of Liberty. The QB is off to the East Coast on a vacation with her girlfriend and chose to go to New York to take his mind off a busy football schedule and perhaps, to recharge his battery for the tough battles ahead of him.

The QB uploaded a story on Instagram and is on a yacht as he enjoys a couple of drinks with his significant other Stephanie Niles. What’s astonishing is the fact that Browning would claim the Statue of Liberty over his girlfriend, but she might not mind because a statue doesn’t reciprocate feelings.

The Bengals backup QB is sailing in the Hudson River as he points the camera to the monument and captions it, “Main chick and my side piece,” as he follows it by focusing the camera on his girlfriend. Stephanie has a drink in her hands as she reenacts the pose that Lady Liberty is doing. From all we know, she’s just happy to be on vacation and doesn’t mind Browning’s harmless shenanigans.

Lady Liberty represents freedom and opportunity for immigrants arriving by sea and is also a symbol of American identity. Browning is free and has plenty of opportunities, so keeping Lady Liberty all to himself is a bit selfish (jokingly of course), but maybe he doesn’t visit that part of the country because he’s from the west coast, Folsom, California to be exact.

So, here goes the freedom for those who want to enter America for a better future, again, just kidding. But it’s Stephani, who spends more time with the QB than the Statue of Liberty and of course, she’s far from being his “side piece.”

Fun times with Jake Browning and Stephanie Niles

If there’s one thing that’s obvious about the couple is that they like to muck around. It seems like they have been together for more than 5 years, if not longer. Naturally, the bond between them grows deeper. A post on Instagram titled, “Bowtie Bandits” shows the couple in their element. The QB is looking dapper, dressed in a Tuxedo and a bowtie, while he takes pictures with her girl, with both emanating a smile.

There’s an IG photo dump from three years ago titled, “Here’s some random photos that have been accumulated over the years. Here’s to more margs and adventures. I love you pimp.” Quirky caption but makes for a great post. The post has a carousel of photos and the one where Jake is kissing Stephanie might make people envious of what they have.

Per sources, Stephanie and Jake met at the University of Washington and have been together ever since. She supported Browning in his football career and was there when he joined the Minnesota Vikings. They seem to have a great bond, where poking fun and appreciating each other might be a norm. For all we know, Lady Liberty might not be able to replace Stephanie anytime soon.
