It’s no less interesting for us NFL fans to watch lovie-dovie moments of our fav players when love is in the air. We are so happy the NFL couples don’t shy away from expressing the love that is in their hearts. After the end of the 2024 season, Lovers’ Day, or if we may call it Valentine’s Day felt like a refreshing break after all the hustle. We caught glimpses of many NFL couples’ Valentine’s celebrations via their social media handles. Some were on vacation, and some took a day off somewhere, but they all expressed their affection for their lovely partners.

Now, let’s start the Lover’s Day discussion with Sam Darnold, as he gave us a glimpse of his picturesque vacation. He posted two stories on Instagram with his girlfriend Katie Hoofnagle. Sam Darnold and his gf have been together since 2023. One of his stories showed off a dreamy beachside moment with his girlfriend, with a cozy sunset and ocean views. Picturing a perfect gateway to paradise! Then we also saw former Buccaneers star Rob Gronkowski, wishing, “Happy Valentine’s Day my Love” to his longtime girlfriend, Camille Kostek. His next story was an adorable throwback picture of the couple, showing how he cherishes every moment spent with the love of his life.

And, it wasn’t just our NFL stars posting their partners, trust me it was the other way around equally. If you follow Jared Goff, the Lions QB, you’d have seen how his wife, Christen, posted a super cute picture of him on her IG stories. And Jared didn’t leave the chance to show off his love. He also posted a mesmerizing picture of the two from their wedding day.  Moving ahead to Patriots QB Drake Maye‘s V-day story, it was a sweet Polaroid of the couple from some house party. The story was much anticipated after his recent marriage proposal to his longtime GF, Ann Michale Hudson. Earlier this year, the couple also shared pictures of their much-awaited proposal on Instagram with the caption, “Love doing life with you. Can’t wait to marry you!”

Valentine’s celebrations are in full swing for Sam Darnold and other NFL stars

As we watch the new lovers booming with romance, we also have some long-standing love in the house. To speak of, Baker Mayfield was showered with love by his wife Emily on her V-Day post feat. their newborn, and their pet dog Fergus. We can also see the couple’s beautiful journey transforming from young love into parenthood in the moments shared on Instagram. Similarly, Jaguars‘ QB Trevor Lawrence was showered with love and wishes by his wife Marissa Layne Lawrence. As he wrote, “9 Valentines Day with you” for her husband, on her V-Day post. Now, Trevor also posted a handful of stories on his IG and also shared a picture of their newborn daughter, calling her “My Girl”. The couple welcomed baby girl Shae this year on the 4th of Jan 2025.

We also witnessed Amon-Ra St. Brown spending time with his longtime girlfriend Brooklyn Adams. He shared a picture of them cheering with cocktails, with the caption, “my valentine too tuff”.  Next, we caught the Cowboys‘ QB Trey Lance in his latest Valentine’s post with his girlfriend April Marie. The best thing about this couple is how they have always kept their love life transparent to the fans. As we also saw fans go ga-ga in the comments, “Ya’ll are too cute ! Love this for you April 💖”, “Beautiful couple ❤️❤️❤️❤️”, “Love seeing you so happy ❤️”.

Thanks to Instagram for giving our NFL players a platform to showcase their love. We can all agree that we admire it, and cherish it. And iwe would be lying if we said we weren’t curious to watch it. It is exciting for us fans to watch their fav NFL players go crazy in love. So many of them left good wishes in the comments, making the celebrations all the more exciting. It’s always fun to see how athletes balance their personal lives with their careers. Valentine’s Day gave fans a rare look at the softer side of these NFL stars, reminding everyone that behind the helmets and touchdowns, there are plenty of love stories worth cheering for.
