Juice Scruggs is not your typical name for a guard. But sure as hell, it sounds apt. The guy is holding down the back line in Houston. However, his journey to pro has not been without his fair share of battles. Scruggs spent 3 years playing for the Penn State days (playing 26 of 34 games) until he finally realized he was Juiced up for the big boy league. But his story is not his alone.

Juice Scruggs isn’t just holding the line for the Texans; he’s had someone holding him down for years—his wife, Gabriella. And if her August Instagram post captioned “Season 8,” is anything to go by, these two have been in it together for eight solid years. But let’s find out who is Gabriella. I mean, certainly, she has convinced her big man that they are it.

Who is Gabriella?

Great question, honestly. Gabriella isn’t one of those WAGs racking up millions of followers. Nope. She’s just going with the flow. And with 573  followers on Instagram—clearly keeping it low-key. But here’s the kicker: she’s always there. No fluff, no drama, just solid support for Juice. No matter how rough the game—or life—gets, she’s his ride-or-die, no questions asked.

Career-wise? Gabriella’s an accomplished recreational therapist. Her Instagram bio says it, but the receipts are in her 2022 graduation post from Slippery Rock University. That’s where she officially became the therapist we’re talking about. So yeah, she’s as goal-oriented off the field as her hubby is on it.

Meanwhile, don’t take her for one to be off the football action either. We won’t even take you down memory lane, for this one… Remember week 10 Texans L against the Lions? Yup, Gabriella was there. She even posted the post-game snaps on her IG with this caption: “Sunday night out 🏈#houstontexans” You might call it routine stuff. But for Juice, yeah, that’s his wifey making sure his chin is up even after the losses.

What’s your perspective on:

Is Gabriella the real MVP behind Juice Scruggs' success on and off the field?

Have an interesting take?

When did Juice Scruggs and Gabriella get married?

If it’s not obvious by now that these two are made for each other, well, that’s on you, my friend. They sealed the deal in July this year with vows and heartfelt I dos. Juice Scruggs knew exactly what he was doing when he turned his longtime girlfriend into Mrs. Scruggs. And it was about time, too….

For Gabriella, the fairy tale started in February 2024 when Juice popped the big question in true romantic fashion: on a boat, in the Virgin Islands, surrounded by nothing but water and love, and last but not least, on one knee. Her answer? A resounding YES! Fast forward four months and the two officially became Mr. and Mrs. Juice. Locked in for life.

So, when you spot the Texans’ #70 in the stands—cheering as hard as she does for him on the gridiron—don’t worry, 6’3”, 310 lbs isn’t coming for your seat. That’s just Gabriella, on the edge, laser-focused on her guy bringing the heavy metal (and the Juice) to every snap.
