Who is Jake Elliott married to?

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott and his wife, Annie, share a love story that started long before he became an NFL star. Elliott and Annie first crossed paths in middle school at McClure Junior High School in Illinois, where Annie was a cheerleader, and Jake played basketball. However, their relationship didn’t take off romantically until after college. Annie often jokes that Jake was her “middle school crush,” which she “never gave up on.” When Jake proposed to her in June 2019, Annie excitedly shared on Instagram, “I sure did out-kick my coverage … I’m the luckiest girl in the world!”

They finally started dating after they each finished college—Annie from Auburn University and Elliott from the University of Memphis, where he’d been honing his skills as a kicker. Their first social media photo together was posted in July 2017, right after Jake joined the Eagles. From then on, they were inseparable, with Annie supporting him as he built a life in Philadelphia. She was even by his side during the Eagles’ thrilling Super Bowl LII victory in 2018, where Jake played a vital role. Their shared journey from middle school friends to life partners makes their story particularly sweet and loved by fans.

When did Jake and Annie get married?

Jake Elliott and Annie officially tied the knot on March 8, 2020, in Philadelphia at the enchanting Fairmount Park Horticultural Center. Friends, family, and even the city of Philadelphia celebrated their love. Annie’s close friend, Kylie Kelce—wife of Eagles’ center, Jason Kelce—stood as a bridesmaid, adding a personal touch to their Eagles family. Just weeks after saying “I do,” Jake and Annie adopted their second dog, Roxy, who joined Willy, their first pup, completing the Elliott family lineup of four.

Fast forward a few years, and in July 2023, Elliott and Annie became parents to their first child, Beau Daniel Elliott. “The best early bird special,” they wrote when announcing Beau’s arrival, who made his debut a bit ahead of schedule. Jake shared how becoming a father during the NFL season brought a new balance to his life, describing the experience as “a lot of fun” and one that “puts a lot of things into perspective.” Being able to return home to Annie, Beau, and their two dogs after a long day at the field helps him stay grounded and recharged for the demanding football season.

Since the birth of their son, the Elliott family has embraced the joys of parenthood and expanded friendships within the Eagles’ tight-knit circle. Annie, now close friends with Kylie Kelce, affectionately calls her “our national treasure,” a bond that surfaced when Annie humorously shared Kylie’s quirky post-game packing tactic. It’s little moments like these that reflect how Annie has become part of the broader Eagles community, adored by fans and friends alike.

For Jake, the 2023 season did bring him thrilling highlights, including a dramatic 59-yard field goal in overtime to secure a victory against the Buffalo Bills. Despite the pressure of his role, Jake finds comfort and motivation in his family. “It’s hard to be away, but knowing that at the end of this there is a greater good … I get to be a full-time father for a bunch of months,” Jake shared. With Annie’s support and little Beau’s arrival, Jake continues to give his all on the field, embodying the family-centered spirit that makes Eagles fans cheer for both his personal and professional victories.
