Trevor Lawrence's wife, Marissa Mowry, has been his biggest supporter since their childhood - and he wouldn't want it any other way.
"We met in fifth grade, so I won't say I knew [she was The One] in fifth grade," the Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback revealed exclusively to We in February 2023. "We started dating seriously in 10th grade."
Mowry has been chronicling their love story since it began in 2016. After two years of dating, the couple marked their high school graduation together before transitioning to a long-distance relationship in college.
According to Lawrence, the pair's relationship was "on and off for some time." "Then, once we started college, it became very serious," said the professional athlete in an interview with Us in February 2023.
Throughout his three years at Clemson University in South Carolina, the Heisman Trophy candidate remained in a relationship with his high school sweetheart. Meanwhile, Mowry graduated from Anderson University, located in the same state. In 2020, Lawrence and Mowry got engaged while still in school, and the following year, they got married. She stood by her husband’s side in April 2021 when he was drafted into the NFL, and they have been inseparable ever since.
