Zack Ertz gave a good number of years playing for the Eagles. And by the way, he is not an ordinary tight end—he’s a Super Bowl-winning tight end. Yes, he won the ring in 2017 as an Eagle. This Sunday, he went against his old team and faced defeat. But when you see a someone like Zack, one question is sure to rise. Who is the true motivation behind this man’s success and filling him up with love every day?

Who is Zach Ertz’ wife?

Do you really think Zack Ertz is the only person in the Ertz family who’s a champion? He’s not, because his wife is just the same. If you are a fan of soccer, you’ll surely know Julie Ertz? Julie is an American former professional soccer player. She played for many years wearing a Chicago Red Stars jersey in the NWSL. Mrs. Ertz is a top gun who appeared in 123 games for the US Women’s National Team. Now, get ready for the “wow” factor: at just 23, she was literally one of the youngest stars to win the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2015. AND—she engraved her name in history when she won the World Cup again in 2019.

I know what you’re thinking: great choice, Zack. Julie and Zack Ertz make a true power couple. Zack has always been Julie’s biggest cheerleader, supporting her throughout her soccer journey. Whether it was watching her shine during the 2015 World Cup or celebrating her individual accolades, like being named the NWSL Rookie of the Year, he’s there for it all, and it’s reciprocated equally by his partner.

Oh, their story is straight out of a romantic novel. Two athletic individuals—one striving to make his name in football and the other chasing greatness in soccer—crossed paths in 2012 at a Stanford University baseball game through mutual friends. That’s where their heartstrings became entangled.

As their individual careers took off just the way they hoped, they continued to send each other love from afar. The man joined the Eagles, and the woman made her USWNT debut in 2013. Yet, the couple’s bond only grew stronger. In February 2016, Zack Ertz proposed to Julie at the same Stanford stadium where they first met.

Well, well, well—who would’ve guessed him to be such a romantic? The couple tied the knot on March 26, 2017, in a beautiful ceremony in Santa Barbara, California. Together, they began their journey as one of sports’ most admired power couples, balancing their professional careers and personal lives with grace and love.
