The quarterback saw his wife for the first time when he went to Audubon High School. They fell in love and stayed together during college. She was with him when the Ravens drafted him in 2008. The couple spent many years with each other before exchanging vows on June 25, 2011.

While Flacco was establishing himself as an NFL superstar, his better half also pursued her career as a healthcare professional. She briefly worked as an X-ray technician at Cooper Hospital, New Jersey. However, when their lives got busier with children, she quit and focused solely on raising them. The signal-caller got the inspiration to make it big with her trust. Grady, too, is head over heels in love with her NFL husband, who was voted the most attractive player in the NFL in a 2017 survey. The couple visits every event, be it award shows or any philanthropic program, together.

Their chemistry also helped them to take care of their five children. Now, the family is present in the stadiums for the man of the house.

When were Joe Flacco’s children born?

Just a year after their marriage, they welcomed their son Stephen in June 2012. While the quarterback and his wife were getting used to the parental duties, their second son, Daniel, was born to their utmost delight in September 2013.

Joe Flacco welcomed one more son, their 3rd, in January 2015, whom the couple named Francis. With 3 sons, he would have been busier if his wife wasn’t there. But she never let the pressure of parenting get to her husband. In September 2016, their 4th child, a daughter named Evelyn, was born in September.

The family looked complete to everyone. However, there was a pleasant surprise waiting for everyone. The fans were on the 7th cloud when they announced the birth of their son Thomas in April 2018. With such a lovely caring wife and 5 children who always root for him whenever he is on the gridiron, what else the Colts QB could have asked for? Stay tuned for more such stories.
