Who Is Matt Patricia’s Wife, Raina? Meet Mom of 3 and NFL Coach’s Partner

Behind Matt Patricia’s accomplished NFL coaching career is none other than his wife, Raina. Since his days in the Patriots, to date, she has been his constant supporter throughout his life journey. His transition in his NFL career from Patriots’ offensive coaching assistant to becoming Lions HC, Patriots’ offensive line coach, Eagles’ senior defensive assistant and now serving as the defensive coordinator at Ohio State is truly remarkable.

Earning two Super Bowl titles with the Patriots and clinching 3 AFC Championships with the team would not have been possible without Raina. Despite Patricia’s ultra-demanding and challenging coaching job where changing addresses and switching teams are common, Raina never bothered about the scenario. She gracefully embraced it and backed her NFL husband throughout. Hence, fans are equally invested in knowing about her.

Who is the NFL Coach’s wife, Raina?

Besides her role as the most supportive wife to Ohio’s new DC Patricia, Raina has an impressive life. Previously, (before marriage) known as Grigelvick, Raina Patricia spent her early days in Rhode Island, in New England. While growing up there, Raina attended Cumberland High School in Rhode Island.

Later, she attended Bryant University in Smithfield, Rhode Island, to finish her graduation degree. However, there is not enough information available about her background as she maintains her low profile. Despite being the wife of the NFL star coach, Raina prefers to stay away from the limelight. It shows her grounded nature.

The New England native, Raina, exchanged her forever wedding vows with Matt Patricia in 2009 when he was serving for the Patriots in his first stint. Since then, the power couple has been relishing each other’s company. And, impressively, they both are the parents to their 2 sons, Dominic and Dante, and their daughter Giamina.

Besides raising their kids together, Matt Patricia and his wife both are deeply involved in philanthropy work. They both support several non-profit organizations together.

How have Matt Patricia and his wife been engaged in charitable endeavors?

Former Detroit Lions coach Matt never fails to support his wife in her charity work. A few months back, in September 2024, the Patriots’ ex-DC and his wife’s unwavering support of the Community First Project caught significant attention. Even through an IG post, Community First Project highlighted the couple’s charity work.

Along with sharing a short video clip featuring Patricia, they emphasized his support with their caption. “Meet Matt Patricia, former Defensive Coordinator for the New England Patriots and Head Coach of the Detroit Lions. As a devoted husband and father, hear why Matt, with the support of his wife Raina, proudly supports the Community First Project,” the post caption read.

Not only this but back in October 2013, Raina and Patricia’s visit to The Women’s Lunch Place in Boston also made waves. The NFL dynamic duo benefitted several needy people with this visit along with many members of the Patriots organization. Impressively, through this philanthropy trip, the couple amazingly promoted “Celebrate Volunteerism.”

On this volunteer trip, Patricia’s couple served lunch and distributed gift bags with toiletries and winter socks to underprivileged people. Even Raina was grateful for this phenomenal opportunity. In an interview with the Patriots.com, she expressed her gratefulness. “We’re just really thankful for the opportunity to be here. It’s so rewarding for us to be able to give back to the community and help these women. What they do in this organization is just phenomenal, and we’re just happy to come back year after year and give back to the community,” Matt Patricia’s wife remarked.

Hence, with such humanitarian efforts, they left a positive impact on communities in need while inspiring others to follow in their footsteps.
