Who Is Derrick Henry’s Girlfriend? Meet Adrianna Rivas, Mother of $56M RB’s Daughter

Baltimore Ravens running back Derrick Henry has started his antics in the 2024 NFL season. Consequently, the first touchdown of the season belongs to the former league MVP and two-time NFL rushing leader. On Thursday, in his first drive in his first game with the Ravens, he finished Baltimore’s 70-yard opening drive with a five-yard rush at the goal line, powering into the end zone against the Kansas City Chiefs.

The running back signed a two-year deal with the Ravens back in March after his stint with the Tennessee Titans from 2016 to 2023. Notably, he joins two-time MVP Lamar Jackson in a Ravens backfield that led the league in rushing in 2023. In the rankings of all 32 running backs ahead of this season by both nfl.com and Fox Sports, Henry secured the second position behind San Francisco 49ers Christian McCaffrey.

Henry has rushed for more than 2,700 yards and 27 touchdowns in the last two seasons combined. But there are good chances that his efficiency will improve in the 2024 season since he will be playing behind a better offensive line in Baltimore and alongside Lamar Jackson.

Besides ruling the field, the 6’3″, 247-pound titan has also secured well in his personal life with the relationship with his longtime girlfriend Adrianna Rivas. She has been by Henry’s side through the highs and lows, providing unwavering love and support that propels the $56 million man’s greatness. Here is an inside look at the real-life romantic victory formation for the hard-hitting Titans star.

Adrianna is a Texas native who is the middle child between brothers Daniel and Adriel. She comes from a close-knit family with parents Simona and Joe who recently celebrated 30 years of marriage. Adriel even joins Henry for workout sessions, while Daniel is the founder of a workout clothing store. Rivas attended the University of Texas and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Public Relations.

Adrianna, unlike many other WAGs (Wife and Girlfriends), doesn’t have an enormous social media presence. Her account boasts a little over 9000 followers and is rather private about her matters over there. Occasionally, she shares pictures of her family and her gameday outfits. Rivas is an avid dog lover and has two furry family members. Her first dog, Nala, is a Golden Doodle. She added another puppy to the family in 2018, a rottweiler mix named Nino.

Adrianna and Derrick started dating in college in 2016. In late 2019, the pair announced their pregnancy and welcomed a beautiful daughter named Valentine on May 18, 2020. The duo has come a long way—From being college lovebirds at the University of Texas to proud parents celebrating their daughter Valentina’s 4th birthday in May 2024.

Adrianna is Henry’s biggest cheerleader on game days, beaming with pride from the stands alongside her siblings and parents. In the fickle world of the NFL, Henry has found his forever partner in the Odessa native. Their relationship transcends the game’s brutality, built on a foundation of trust, respect, and adoration for one another. While Henry has established a renowned career for himself, Adrianna is also not far behind, as she has built her own business line.

How did the Odessa Native make her mark?

While she may be known primarily as Derrick Henry’s girlfriend, Adrianna Rivas is far more than just a WAG. Rivas parlayed her work ethic into earning a communications degree at the University of Texas Arlington. But she was no ordinary graduate resting on her laurels – her hustle and magnetic charm immediately opened doors at major corporations like Marriott and Technifax Office Solutions, allowing her to swiftly climb the corporate ladder.

However, the ambitious, free-spirited Rivas wasn’t content simply collecting a paycheck. The entrepreneurial fire burned brightly within her, driving Adrianna to launch her very own lash extension business called Attraction by Adrianna. She currently offers four different sets, including services to extend length, increase volume, add depth, and more. She also shows off her handiwork on Instagram, including her hair and makeup.

Today, the former businesswoman has taken on her biggest role yet as Henry’s partner and mother. Adrianna seamlessly juggles parenting, managing their household, and still finding time for her passions like raising her beloved dogs, Nino and Nala.

So while Henry’s on-field exploits grab the headlines, never underestimate the power of having a dynamic, well-rounded woman like the Odessa native Adrianna Rivas as your greatest teammate. She’s the complete package in her own right.
