Stephen Carlson, the Chicago Bears‘ TE, is already gearing up to earn a coveted spot on the Bears’ roster for the upcoming season. Amidst this, he recently scored a notable off-field lifetime touchdown by finding his perfect match in his wife, Allie Carlson. Before delving into their love life, which has become the talk of the NFL rumor mill, it’s essential to discuss the league’s TE’s performances.

During last season, Carlson only played one game in Week 10 against the Panthers on special teams. The 27-year-old NFL player spent most of the past season on Chicago’s practice squad. He also had a chance to play one game on the gridiron in Week 1 against the Packers. After a successful college career, Carlson appeared in a total of 26 games over three seasons with the Cleveland Browns and Chicago Bears. During this time, his partner Allie stood beside the player like a true “Bff.”

Who is Allie Carlson?

Just like her NFL husband, Allie also attended Princeton College. The NFL pair might have started dating during their graduation years. However, it is unclear when the romance between the dynamic duo blossomed and when they started dating each other. Allie Carlson has locked her Instagram profile, indicating that the NFL TE’s girlfriend prefers keeping her personal life private. Stephen Carlson tied the knot with Allie last year.

Through one of the posts on Instagram that the former Princeton athlete shared, it seems that the couple got married in July 2023. With ample romantic pictures featuring the couple, Carlson captioned “Bffs” with heart emojis. Soon after the couple announced their marriage, Carlson’s comment section was filled with congratulatory messages.

The engagement was also nothing short of a romantic touchdown on the beachside. The NFL player proposed to his other half by kneeling down on one knee, displaying his unconditional love for Allie. Carlson and Allie also tuned their outfits in blue, grabbing the enormous attention of many fans. From college sweethearts to becoming husband and wife, their romantic journey is quite interesting.

Another Instagram post from the former Browns free agent captivated fans. The post came a few days after Stephen finished Princeton’s Ivy championship season in 2018 with 683 yards and five touchdowns. He shared a photo with his then-future wife in July 2019, captioned, “Amazing four years at Princeton. Sad to leave, I’m going to miss my Princeton people!”

In the post, Carlson’s pain of leaving his favorite person in college was evident, and he also shared some of his dearest college friends in the same post. This was when he signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent in May 2019. Stephen made waves by securing his first career touchdown in Week 11 against the Steelers.

For nearly two years, he played for the Browns and received the exclusive-rights free agent tender from them. In May 2023, he signed a one-year deal with the Bears, and in January 2024, he signed an extension contract with the franchise. Now, he looks forward to more NFL accomplishments, with the strong off-field support of his wife.
