Tyreek Hill knows how to enjoy the game while grinding it out on the gridiron. Last time he took the internet by storm with his backflip selfie, which he did as part of his celebration. And then he gave his TD ball to his mother who was watching from the stands, but was grabbed by another man, who did not know that she was the Cheetah’s mom. Now he has won the Internet’s heart with another gesture.

Fans were unaware that just behind the goal, a woman was sitting in the stands who meant so much to Tyreek Hill. And no, it wasn’t his mother again. So, who is this mystery woman, and what was her relationship with Hill that most fans were unaware of?

Dov Kleiman took to X to share a video of Tyreek Hill giving his ball, with which he had just scored a TD to his wife, Keeta Vaccaro. Vaccaro also happens to be the sister of former NFL player, Kenny Vaccaro. The two lovebirds had been engaged for some time and had just gotten married on November 9.

The stunning Vaccaro accepted the gift from her newlywed husband and then returned a flying kiss, as Hill had done. The moment, which was captured by the broadcaster for the game, Amazon, was arguably the first public sighting of the mystery woman that Hill had recently been linked with. Their wedding had taken place far from the public’s gaze in Travis County, Texas.

But was all of this part of a planned script? Hill reveals it all.

As soon as the game was over, which the Dolphins won 34-13, former QB and Amazon broadcaster Ryan Fitzpatrick approached Hill about this. Tyreek is known for perfect celebrations. Case in point, his flawlessly executed backflip selfie. But this was more incredible, and Fitzpatrick had to get more details on it.

“It’s all part of the script!” was Tyreek’s answer to his question. What did he mean by it? He admitted that he had requested Tua and the coaches to make the play happen so he could pull off the romantic stunt. Especially in the second quarter, he had spotted his wife near the end zone.

Since they only got married two weeks ago, it was improbable that the two had had the opportunity to go on a honeymoon. When questioned about it, he said that “every day is a honeymoon”. Prompting ‘awws’ from the broadcasters. And it seems her presence did act as a lucky charm, helping the Dolphins improve their record to 8-3.
