But coming back to her and C.J. Ham, the couple met at the Augustana University. After getting their respective degrees, C.J. decided to mold his career in the NFL while Stephanie eventually became a medical professional.

Since the couple exchanged their forever vows in 2016, they have continued to cherish every moment together. Even their social media posts are enough to reveal their loving chemistry. Just a few days ago, C.J. Ham took to his official IG account to celebrate his wife’s birthday.

Along with sharing a cute snap featuring them together, he gave a lovely caption to his post. “Before the night ends help me wish this wonderful lady a happy birthday! love you girl”, the Vikings fullback wrote, showing a profound affinity between them.

It reflected her love and sentiments for her NFL hubby.

Besides that, on July 23Mrs Ham also caught significant attention for showcasing her immense faith in her loving partner. As NFL Fullback C.J. Ham is entering his 9 year with the Vikings and heading towards training, his wife could not hold her emotions.

Taking to her official IG account, she shared the lovely family pictures featuring herself with her husband and three kids. “Sending @cjham_93 to training camp number ❕NINE ❕If you see this, would you pray over the guys today? So exciting and hard at the same time! Per usual, we are so proud of our guy. Can’t wait to witness the greatness about to happen in year 9!” she mentioned in her post caption.

The couple also works to give back to a variety of communities. Besides being a parent to their three adorable children, they are also foster parents to many needy kids. It reflects the couple’s mutual understanding of philanthropic work. Every off-season, the Minnesota Vikings Pro bowler and his wife collaborate with the Boys & Girls Clubs to “adopt” a local family.

Earlier during an interview, Ham expressed his true feelings about having foster children. “To see how much [the kids] love their foster parents, already calling them ‘Mom’ and ‘Dad’, I don’t know that you see that in every [situation].” To see the satisfaction of the permanency of the relationship in the eyes of the children was very satisfying to Ham.

Thus, both C.J. Ham and Stephanie have indeed become the favorite couple in the NFL, inspiring many of the fans.
