Detroit Lions star Jared Goff got lucky when he swiped right on his fiancée Christen Harper.
The pair started dating in 2019 while Goff was still a member of the Los Angeles Rams.
"I wasn't really seeking anything at the time," Harper shared in a September 2022 interview with Sports Illustrated. "I had just ended a long-term relationship and was aiming to remain single for a year. Then I crossed paths with him, and the rest, as they say, is history."
Their first public appearance as a couple was at the 2019 ESPYs, almost two years before Goff joined the Lions. Harper relocated to Michigan with her partner and often shared their adventures in the Midwest on social media.
