From Broncos cheerleader to ESPN star—Is Michelle Beisner-Buck the most underrated sports personality?

Joe Buck, ESPN commentator and lead announcer for Monday Night Football, has been enjoying the spotlight. He’s pairing with Troy Aikman for his recent shows; the NFL legend was present at the commentator’s wedding in 2014. Buck’s wife, Michelle Beisner-Buck, an ESPN presenter herself, has paired with her husband for several shows. His wife also dabbled in the NFL as a cheerleader before becoming a presenter. She was the captain (for 4 years) of the cheerleading team of Denver Broncos from 1997 to 2003. Their love story is magical.

In 2006, Michelle arrived in Los Angeles and started her journalistic career in sports. She initially conducted interviews with NFL stars like Russell Wilson and Peyton Manning as a field reporter at the NFL Network. In 2012, Rich Eisen called her and asked for her phone number. Later, she found out it was Joe Buck. But she didn’t have a good first impression of the commentator. Michelle viewed him as arrogant after watching his National Car Rental commercial.

She also had a boyfriend at the time. But Buck’s first text was enough to arouse her, which read, “Still live with that boyfriend of yours? Well, that’s dumb.” After Michelle broke up with her boyfriend, the couple started dating around the 2013 Super Bowl. Buck was smitten! Joe Buck also got tattoos to impress her. And she, too, had fallen in love. They got married in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico on April 12, 2014.

Their love has gotten stronger over the last 10 years. On their 10th anniversary, Michelle wrote on Instagram, “I love you Joe. More today than yesterday. Always. Against All.” She gave birth to twin sons, Wyatt Joseph and Blake Andrew, on April 26, 2018, just a day after his 49th birthday. The wife loves Buck’s father’s avatar as well. The commentator has two more daughters from his previous marriage.

Who is Joe Buck’s ex-wife Ann Archambault?

Buck was married to his middle school girlfriend, Ann Archambault, from 1993 to 2011. The commentator was mostly on the road because of his profession. Initially, she was fine with it. But things changed when she gave birth to two daughters, Natalie and Trudy. She served as both parents for them for many years, as Buck was away on official duties. The duo later parted ways but remain friends.

What’s your perspective on:

From Broncos cheerleader to ESPN star—Is Michelle Beisner-Buck the most underrated sports personality?

Have an interesting take?

Archambault largely stays away from social media. However, the mother is close to her daughters. Joe Buck also joins them on important occasions. He went to Natalie’s graduation ceremony. The girls are close to Michelle Beisner-Buck as well. And they have celebrated Christmas with them (a few times). All-in-all, Joe Buck has been enjoying his life with his children and sweet wife. He likes to spend time with them; a loving family man indeed!
