Who Is Derrick Nnadi’s Girlfriend? Meet Nani, SB Champion’s Partner Qualified to Work as a Nurse

The Kansas City Chiefs have further solidified their interior defensive line after re-signing Derrick Nnadi this March. The defensive tackle went into free agency this offseason. However, after playing in all 17 regular season games, the Chiefs decided to keep him, as his reliable presence up front helps their defense.

Just as Nnadi assists the team in games, his girlfriend supports him in his career off the field. And fans are eager to know more about his personal life. So, let’s dig further into Derrick Nnadi’s girlfriend, her work and education.

Derrick Nnadi’s girlfriend cleared 85 questions?

Derrick Nnadi generally refrains himself from talking about his personal life in public. However, he still makes some public appearances with his girlfriend, Nani. Although he has uploaded a couple of snaps with her, his love for his partner is evident from those pictures and social media captions. The couple has now been dating each other since 2021. In 2022, the defensive tackle posted a photo with his girlfriend, with a caption, saying, “365” with finger crossed and red heart emojis. Fans speculate this caption to be his way of expressing his love for Nani for 365 days every year. Besides this, Nani, also being an avid fan and supporter of Nnadi, has shown her presence in the Chiefs’ games multiple times. She even came to cheer for her partner at this Super Bowl, and after their win, dropped a couple of pictures together, writing, “My 3X Super Bowl Champion!”

Nani is a nurse by profession, and she holds a degree of Master of Science in Nursing and a license of a registered nurse. She bagged this job around last May, and shared the news of her hardwork and excitement with her followers. Wearing a lab coat, she explained her tough phase, writing a caption on IG: “Guess who just added more letters to their name? Introducing G. Hinton, MSN, RN! After graduation, I honestly needed a break. I pushed my NCLEX back multiple times which resulted in me having to take the NextGen version. I had to put my head down and grind to achieve this.”

She continued, “I had to give up my jet setter lifestyle for a couple weeks and rearrange my priorities. Weeks of crying and self-doubting, but I knew in the end that God was my foundation, so why would he fail me? I passed in 85 questions & I am so damn proud of myself.” This was indeed a commendable achievement for Nnadi’s girlfriend. Apart from these, till now no further updates on their love life have been disclosed. And fans are soon expecting a lifetime commitment between them, or at least learn more about their love story.

Interestingly, besides his girlfriend, Derrick Nnadi’s mother too is a nurse by profession.

Who are Derrick Nnadi’s parents?

Derrick Nnadi was born on May 9, 1996, in Virginia Beach, to Fred and Christy Nnadi. His mother is a nurse, and he is very close to his parents, who have supported him throughout his life. Fred, his father, immigrated to the United States after the Nigerian civil war, hoping to become an engineer.

After deciding to stay in the U.S., Fred’s wife joined him, and they settled in Virginia, fulfilling their American dream. They have six children, with Derrick being the youngest. At Florida State, Derrick often drew inspiration from his father’s advice before games: “No one on the field is stronger than you; no one is faster than you. You go in there, and you destroy your opponent. You have to prove that you’re the best of the best of the best.”

Hence, that’s the reason why Derrick Nnadi comes on the field with his active hands and exceptional pass rushing ability as the Chiefs’ defensive star.
