Little did George Lucas know that his handiwork would unite so many couples across the world. Yes, Star Wars brings people together. If you’re doubtful, look at Nathaniel Hackett’s relationship with his wife, Megan, and you’ll change your mind. It was a special day for the Hackett family when Nathaniel became the Broncos’ head coach, and Megan has been there through all the ups and downs of his professional life.

This prompted us to know more about the Hackett family, his wife Megan, in particular. So, let’s get to know more about Megan Hackett and their relationship that goes more than 2 decades back.

Who is Nathaniel Hackett’s wife, Megan?

Well, personal details about her life are sparse. However, we do know that the couple has been happily married since 2006 and they have four children: two sons, Harrison and London, and two daughters, Briar and Everly. Hackett developed a knack for offensive play calling during his time at Stanford, where he met his wife, Megan, who was already a graduate.

Unfortunately, there’s not much information available about her background or personal details, and she doesn’t have a social media presence. However, through the experiences of the Hackett family, we get glimpses of Megan. As mentioned earlier, the couple loves Star Wars and even cosplayed as characters from the movie.

Any guesses what the Hackett couple would cosplay as? In 2015, Hackett dressed as Darth Vader on Halloween! He even calls Megan, Princess Leia sometimes. Even their kids are huge Star Wars buffs. These days Megan resides in New York with her husband, who is now the offensive coordinator for the New York Jets.

A memorable moment is when Hackett secured his first head coaching position with the Broncos. Despite the tenure being short-lived, Hackett was thrilled that his family could attend the introductory press conference. A photo captures this moment perfectly: the kids are dressed in Broncos hoodies, with the parents standing proudly behind them, smiling.

During his speech, he made sure to give his family a shoutout. “There are so many [people to thank] for the person that you see standing up here right now. You look at my wife, Harrison, Briar, Everly, London—I love you guys,” Hackett said.

One of the coolest moments in the Hackett family’s life occurred when they were in London and had a chance encounter with some unexpected people.

This happened about two years ago when Nathaniel and Megan took a trip to London to see Ed Sheeran perform at Wembley Stadium. There, they unexpectedly ran into Russell Wilson and his wife, Ciara. The couples enjoyed the concert together and even took a memorable photo at the stadium.

There’s a photo of the four of them smiling at the camera, capturing the moment they met. It might have also been around the time when Russell Wilson became the starting quarterback for the Denver Broncos. Whether the trip was planned or the encounter was entirely random remains a mystery.

We began the story with Nat Hackett’s Star Wars arc, and we’d end it there. During a presser, the former Broncos HC yet again expressed his love for George Lucas’ brainchild and this time though, he indirectly referred to his wife as Princess Leia.

“I have always felt myself that I feel like I’m a Han Solo. I just feel like he was always smooth & cool, & he got the beautiful princess, too.”
