Skol! Blow the horns—Stephon Gilmore has reportedly signed with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year, $10 million deal! The veteran cornerback’s four-team tour now lands him in the Land of 10,000 Lakes, per NFL Insider Ian Rapoport. From his Patriots days to the Panthers, then the Colts, and finally the Cowboys, Gilmore’s career has been nothing short of a high-octane highlight reel. However, with Dallas, he stepped up big time. You can say that he did the Texans proud. He filled in Trevon Diggs’ shoes with 68 tackles, 13 passes defended, and two interceptions expertly. But with Diggs on the mend and DaRon Bland emerging, he was shown the exit gate.

Despite the changing scenery, one thing has remained constant—Stephon’s rock, Gabrielle Glenn. Their love story, which started in the early 2010s, is straight out of a fairytale. One, that will leave you wondering if it’s Freya (Goddess of Love) deciding their path. Guess the Vikings were the only missing piece to complete the triarch of life for Stephon.

Picture this: while Stephon was making plays for USC, Gabrielle was sprinting her way through the track and field. By the time the Bills drafted Gilmore in 2012, their bond was as solid as any defense in the league back then. Fast forward to 2014, and they tied the knot. Ever since then, Gabrielle has been more than just Stephon’s soulmate. If we’re talking Vikings, she’s his shield maiden on and off the field.

• In 2020, she took a stand when critics tried to undermine her husband’s performance. Responding to a tweet questioning Gilmore’s Pro Bowl nod, she fired back, “Y’all still pushing this trash narrative?”
• Even Adam Schefter wasn’t spared! Gabrielle set the record straight when misinformation about a dinner with Cam Newton circulated during the COVID restrictions in 2020. She tweeted, “I’m going to help you out so you guys stop reporting false news. I’ve seen it circulating a couple times and now I’m annoyed lol.”

These are just a few instances. And what about the countless times she’s been in the stands, cheering for Stephon no matter what jersey he wore? She’d match his colors with a smile. Every win was a source of pride, reflected in her social media posts.

It’s bonds like these that can make the pressure of performing on the gridiron feel like a breeze. Stephon knows that whether it’s a win or a loss, an off day or a massive play—he’ll always come home to the protagonist of his heart’s playbook, Gabrielle.

But remember, Gabrielle’s story isn’t just about cheering from the sidelines. Long before she said “I do,” she was all-in on one thing: track and field.

Gabrielle Glenn: Wife of Stephon Gilmore

Stephon Gilmore’s new chapter in Minneapolis is worth the hype. But let’s not forget to put the spotlight on the MVP of his life—Gabrielle Glenn. Born on January 28, 1989, in North Carolina, Gabrielle was destined to make waves. She was not just sprinting; she was blitzing through the tracks.

Growing up, she was a standout at Providence High School and the University of South Carolina. She shattered records in the 100m, 200m, 300m, 400m, and 4x400m relay, proving she was the top draft pick in her sport. At the 2011 SEC Indoor Championships, she finished sixth in the 60m and 200m races, proving her athletic prowess was no fluke.

Gabrielle’s athleticism on the track was as unstoppable as a quarterback scrambling for a first down. But that was not all! With a Bachelor’s in Experimental Psychology and Medical Humanities from USC, she was tackling challenges both on and off the track. No wonder she went on to find herself a hubby cornerback! Despite her impressive college track career and her title as Most Outstanding Female Athlete, she chose not to turn pro. There are a couple of reasons for this change of heart. First, dedication towards her family, and the shift to interior designing.

Gabrielle embraced motherhood when she and Stephon welcomed their first son, Sebastian “Bash” Gilmore, on April 2, 2015, just shy of their first anniversary. Two years later, their joy doubled with the arrival of their daughter, Gisele, on March 10, 2017. And in 2021, they rounded out their trio when their son Gael Storey was born. Gabrielle shares each milestone—whether a birthday or special moment—proudly.

Beyond her role as a mom, Gabrielle channels her creativity into transforming homes, ensuring hers is a sanctuary for her family. Interior design became her outlet, complementing her full-time dedication to her kids. It’s a deserving tribute, each Mother’s Day, when Bash, Gisele, Gael, and Stephon celebrate—Mama Gilmore—the heart and soul of their home.

As Stephon gears up for the Vikings, it’s clear that Gabrielle is the true home-field advantage. With this power couple in the spotlight, fans should buckle up. Stephon Gilmore might have a point to prove. The point? He’s not done yet!
