In the world of professional sports, players never know where they will end up in their careers. Some make their dreams come true, while others aren’t lucky enough to reach them. However, being in the constant spotlight, we tend to share their intimate and heartwarming moments as they come. The Baltimore Ravens nose tackle Michael Pierce is one of the recent examples for whom love and faith have played an integral role.

Having recently exchanged his wedding vows with Dr. Erica Olivier Pierce at the Birmingham Museum of Art, encircled by respective family and friends. Michael shared his joy and gratitude on his Instagram account, captioned, “Long Story Short…
I PRAYED FOR THIS🛐✝️💟.” Well, looking at his caption, we can guess that Michael might be over the moon after committing to his soulmate.

Talking about his partner, Erica has a strong identity herself, having graduated from Xavier University of Louisiana. She holds a Pharm.D. and is strongly committed to working as a pharmacist for Lafayette General Health. Well, that’s not all, as she also serves as a lifestyle coach for the Black Women’s Health Imperative. This shows that apart from tendering to her patients through Medicare, she also remains devoted to promoting the well-being of her circle.

Nonetheless, Dr. Erica likes to keep her life private and maintain a quiet presence on social media. Although Michael shares some of their pictures on his Instagram, behind the scenes, they remain committed to their deep relationship. However, their love story wasn’t exactly straightforward, as it had its ups and downs. But Michael’s strong devotion to God showed faith can be rewarding at times.

Take a look back at Michael Pierce’s wife Dr. Erica and their love story

Although Michael and Erica have known each other for a long time, they weren’t always on the same path. The couple initially went on a few dates while they were 18. But after some time, they went on their different paths, citing the timing wasn’t right. However, both of them remained good friends, thereby eventually leading them to cross paths yet again. After 10 years, the couple reunited back in New Orleans, where they had initially connected for the first time.

Sharing his excitement, Michael conveyed, “You Are Proof That GODS Timing Is UNMATCHED!” Well, this is not the first time Michael has thanked God for his achievements in life. He has continued to use the cross and heart emojis in most of his Instagram posts, which showcase his strong devotion to faith. Moreover, he went on to praise God for the man he is today, saying, “I’m More Competent & Confident In Who’s He Called Me To Be. Most Importantly, He’s Prepared Me To Be Your HUSBAND!” 

For Michael, faith has played a part in shaping his love life. But will he be able to carry on that dedication by writing a new chapter in a Ravens shirt? As he recently agreed to a two-year contract extension worth $7.5 million.
