Sam LaPorta’s Fiance: Meet Callie Dellinger, Engaged to NFL TE Matching His Competitive Spirit

Amidst the roar of the crowd and the clashing of helmets, a love story blossomed on the gridiron of the University of Iowa. Sam LaPorta, the Lions dynamic tight end, found his perfect match in Callie Dellinger, a fierce competitor in her own right.

As LaPorta continues to rise in the NFL, Dellinger remains his unwavering champion, matching his competitive spirit at every step.

The Journey of Sam LaPorta and Callie Dellinger’s love story

Their fairytale began on the banks of the Iowa River, where Sam LaPorta was busy “juking” defenders as the Hawkeyes’ star tight end, and Callie Dellinger was making waves of her own as a tenacious rower. “What God has joined together let no one separate,” the couple declared in their engagement announcement in March after four years of dating. They quoted Matthew 19:6- a verse that encapsulates the unbreakable bond they’ve forged through shared passion and perseverance.

There is a story in their photos, a lovey-dovey Hollywood romance movie where the couple are hugging each other on a beach lit by sunlight with Dellinger’s diamond engagement ring shining like the prized trophy. This is a moment that signifies many years of being there for one another when they were chasing their dreams; from college playing fields to LaPorta’s brilliant rookie campaign at the Detroit Lions.

As LaPorta trudged through an NFL season, his partner was always beside him. Every step of the way she shared her social media “game day” images while sitting somewhere within range. But Dellinger’s path mirrored LaPorta’s journey from Iowa City to the pros – one characterized by sheer hard work and devotion. When her fiancé was busy catching touchdowns, she graduated from the University of Iowa with a degree in Entrepreneurial Management. And well, Callie Dellinger matches her fiancé’s competitive spirit at every turn.

The dynamic partner behind Sam LaPorta’s success

On October 26, 2000, Callie Dellinger was born to Michelle and Gray Dellinger in Naperville, Illinois. She also has three siblings, a sister, and two brothers.

After graduating with a degree in Entrepreneurial Management, she’s now a sought-after spin instructor at CycleBar, motivating and inspiring others to push past their limits – much like she did on the waters of Iowa City as a rower.

From their modest beginnings as collegiate athletes to their dreamlike engagement on a sun-drenched beach, theirs is an account that reminds us romance isn’t all touchdowns–it’s having someone who will journey with you through thick and thin.
