“Invest in the people you come into contact with. Share, care, and encourage,” this is the mantra New York Jets punter Thomas Morstead lives by. A great follower of this quote, one of the Jets’ best players surely invests in people, especially when it comes to caring for his family. And let’s be honest, a person who cares for everyone deserves a caring partner too. And the punter is super lucky to have a supportive partner by his side!

Describing his wife, Lauren Morstead, the Super Bowl winner, said, “I’m grateful for an amazing wife who handles everything so well and always with a smile on her face.” Well, isn’t it a green flag? And interestingly, not only does Mrs Morstead handle every situation gracefully, but she also brings out the fun side of the player.

In August, Thomas participated in the New York Jets Roster party and thanked Lauren for sticking by him, even when he showed up dressed a little funnily. Jokingly calling her the real champion of the night, Morstead wrote, “Posting these pictures to get ahead of any future blackmail.” Well, isn’t it nice to have a partner whom you can have fun with? But wait, there is more!

Mrs. Morstead even sponsored Thomas Morstead’s 2021 NFL season. She picked up all the slack and encouraged the punter to use contacts and give his best shots. The Jets player took to his Facebook account to give a shout-out to his wife. He wrote, “She was mom, and sometimes dad.” He also mentioned how she did everything that was required. Thomas expressed how grateful he was to share a life with Lauren. Eagerly waiting to pay back his wife with interest, the player mentioned how the wifey’s love for their family is proof of just how amazing she really is.

Apart from being Thomas’ cheerleader on-field, the player’s life partner also motivated him to start a charity in 2014. Named ‘What You Give Will Grow,’ the organization provides support and treatment to cancer patients and funds children’s cancer programs. By June 2022, WYGWG has donated over $2,500,000 to different causes. Now that is something inspiring! But where did Mr. and Mrs Morstead meet, and who is Lauren?

Who is Thomas Morstead’s wife Lauren?

Lauren Moore and Thomas Morstead walked down the aisle in July 2013 at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Houston. The couple hosted a grand wedding reception at Hotel Zaza, attended by their close family and friends. They were high school sweethearts and dated for a long time before exchanging a ring more special than the Super Bowl one. Born to Eric and Lisa Moore, Lauren hails from Clear Lake. Moreover, she studied at Clear Lake High School and completed her graduation from Texas A&M University.

Thomas never fails to express his love for Lauren on social media. The player loves sharing his cute, funny, and adorable moments with the fans and the audience surely adores it. On July 9, 2016, Morstead shared a picture of his wife on Instagram and wrote a heartfelt birthday post. His caption read, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my lovely wife, Lauren. She is the rock of our family. I am so grateful.” Well, Moore is definitely the backbone of the Morstead family and interestingly, she is also the rock behind Thomas’ bond with his teammate Aaron Rodgers!

While the punter and quarterback are really good friends, Rodgers and Lauren don’t exactly know each other’s names! Yes, you read it right! When Mrs. Morstead met the MVP, his wifey called the player by the wrong name, ‘Andrew’. Now that’s something hilarious! But what’s more funny is that even Rodgers returned the favor by calling her Diana and even Daphne!

Thomas and Lauren have a beautiful small world of five kids. The couple welcomed their fifth child in May 2024. And Mr. Morstead didn’t hesitate to praise his spouse and said, “She’s the best mommy ever.” Interestingly, while welcoming their first child, the punter recalls how Moore was reassuring him and was stronger than him. He said, “She was a rock. She was re-assuring me much more than I was re-assuring her.”

Isn’t it a real-life victory to have such a strong, supportive, funny, and encouraging life partner? Well, with Lauren supporting Thomas Morstead from the sidelines, let’s see what the 2024 season holds for him!
