Kendrick Bourne often brings good energy and positivity to the table. What’s his secret? It’s his wife Vanessa Bourne, who has many tricks up her sleeve to help the receiver perform well, even on the worst days. Vanessa’s focus on diet, fitness and positive mental attitude helps brings out the best in her partner as well.

But who is Vanessa Bourne, really? It’s hard to know about a person with just a brief glance at their Instagram profile, but one thing is for sure, she is a God-fearing woman who loves her husband to death. Her role as a mother and an entrepreneur helps the receiver not only with bringing out the best version of himself on the field, but also at home where he has two kids to look after.

It’s not clear where the couple met and where they know each other from, but her Instagram gives us a vague idea about their relationship and the couple’s day-to-day life. Vanessa has a whopping 168k followers on her Instagram where she flaunts her workout routines and regularly posts about her kids. The couple seems to be relishing each and every moment with their children, Valentina Rose (elder), and Ka’via Malani Bourne (younger).

One of the most ecstatic moment of the couple lives was when their younger daughter Ka’via Malani Bourne came to life. Baby K was born recently, but the couple had been keeping everyone on their toes to expect the arrival of a beautiful girl child. On her IG, there’s a post captioned, “Almost time for baby K arrival 🧸🎀” that shows her and Bourne together as she flaunts her baby bump and her husband stands with her, holding her belly. The last photo on the carousel shows an ultrasound image of a healthy baby inside the womb. Taking care of two children might get hectic from time to time, so the couple beats the blues by taking off shore vacations from time to time.

The couple uploaded pictures of their escapades to Mexico, where they were seen riding around in dune buggies, exploring nature, and everything that Mexico had to offer. Unfortunately, the kids weren’t there with them on this getaway. If they were, they didn’t appear in any photos.

Vanessa is a gym freak and has a pretty active lifestyle. It’s easily the reason why Kendrick keeps active the way he does. She changed how Kendrick looked at working out and it changed his last off-season completely.

Vanessa changed Kendrick Bourne’s habits

Life moves fast when you’re a receiver for one of the most storied franchises in the NFL. Sometimes fast life calls for fast foods and other lethargic habits. At some point, Kendrick had bad eating habits, and it translated into his game. Somebody had to step in and make that right and who’s better to do that than his wifey?

“She helped me slow down in everything in my life,” Bourne explained. “She taught me to take care of my body. She is very active, working out. Her nutrition is great, so she’s helped me stop eating McDonald’s and all that fast food and everything. She was that last piece.” Even coach Belichick was impressed by the way Kendrick turned things around for himself and the result of that workout was visible by the time the New England Patriots got ready for the preseason games.

“He had a good spring. That spring led into having a good training camp. He’s done very well in all phases of the game — played multiple spots, caught the ball well, blocked well,” said Belichick of Kendrick Bourne.

From the looks of it, the couple has a holistic bond focused on their mind, body and spirit, which ultimately helps them carry out the best versions of themselves. For Kendrick, though, the duties don’t just end on the field as a receiver, but also require him to put his best foot forward so that their kids inhibit the same values their parents have.
