Robert Burns is blessed with a beautiful relationship with his long-term girlfriend and the two are going strong. The Philadelphia Eagles‘ running back will soon have a wife to come home to as he is currently engaged to Alessandra Maggioni. Who is she, you may ask? Well, that is exactly what we intend to do.

Who is Alessandra Maggioni?

Unlike her star athlete boyfriend, Maggioni is not involved with sports. Instead, she is a biology graduate. That’s right, at a young age, Alessandra is already the founder and president of the Give to Heal Foundation. She graduated from the University of Miami and is now pursuing her post-grad from Herbert Wertheim College of Medicine.

Not making a living out of your interest in sports is one thing, but that doesn’t stop her from staying physically active. Alessandra seems to enjoy workouts and swimming when she is not focused on her health foundation and a medical degree.

She was unfortunately diagnosed with scoliosis as a child, which restricted her movement to an extent in sports and also crushed one of her childhood dreams.

The said health condition forced Alessandra Maggioni to ditch the idea of becoming a professional tennis player. Life got in the way like it usually does, but she was able to pick herself back up and instead worked on an outcome that could prove fruitful to her.

Since she has such a different career path than her beloved, you wouldn’t be the only one to wonder how Robert Burns met the love of his life.

How did Robert Burns meet Alessandra?

The two love birds attended the same high school in Miami. To put it simply, the duo started seeing each other in high school. A few years down the line, they continued their romance at the University of Miami while pursuing different courses. The duo supported each other over the years, Burns with her scoliosis, and Alessandra with his NFL career.

And expectedly, the couple chose to take the next step in their relationship and got engaged in June 2024. Neither of them has revealed the date of their marriage. Their social media followers have already put in their wishes about where they would want to see them reciting their vows.

While the fullback is surely enjoying his love life with his recent engagement, how the season will pan out for him is yet to be known. Any guesses?
