Brian Urlacher is married to Jennipher Frost, a former America’s Next Top Model contestant he wed in March 2016. The Pro Football Hall of Famer’s current marriage marks a new chapter after a high-profile divorce and several celebrity relationships that played out in the tabloids.
Urlacher’s personal life has been almost as discussed as his football career. But his marriage to Jennipher appears to have brought a level of stability and privacy that earlier relationships lacked.
Who Is Jennipher Frost?
Jennipher Frost was born on January 11, 1982, in Idaho. She is a former contestant on Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model, appearing on the show’s third cycle in 2004.
She and Urlacher married on March 12, 2016, in Queen Creek, Arizona. The wedding was attended by close friends and family, including former Bears defensive end Alex Brown, who shared photos from the ceremony on social media.
The couple resides in Arizona. Jennipher has described her role as doing “personal assisting” for her husband while taking care of their three children and their dog, Nacho.
Brian Urlacher’s Previous Marriage
Before Jennipher, Urlacher was married to Laurie Urlacher. The couple married in 2000 and have two daughters together, Pamela and Riley.
Urlacher filed for divorce from Laurie on July 14, 2003. The split was messy enough to make headlines during his playing career. At the time, sources indicated the couple was working cooperatively through the divorce, though Urlacher declined to address it publicly.
The couple briefly reconciled later in 2003, but the marriage ultimately ended in divorce.
His Son Kennedy and Ex-Girlfriend Tyna Robertson
Urlacher also has a son, Kennedy Urlacher, with ex-girlfriend Tyna Robertson. Kennedy was born in 2004 or 2005, making him a toddler when Urlacher and Robertson became embroiled in a legal battle over parental visits in 2007.
A judge ordered Urlacher and Robertson to attend a three-hour parenting class as part of the custody dispute. The case was covered by major outlets including NFL.com and the Chicago Tribune.
Kennedy has since grown into a college football player himself, currently a junior safety at USC after transferring from Notre Dame.
The Jenny McCarthy Era
For a brief but highly publicized stretch in 2012, Urlacher dated Jenny McCarthy, the Playboy model, actress, and television host.
Reports of their relationship surfaced in April 2012, and McCarthy confirmed it a month later. She moved back to the Chicago area and told the Today show she was in love with him.
The relationship ended in August 2012, just months after it began. McCarthy released a statement saying, “Brian and I have decided to turn our romance into an amazing friendship. I will continue to be the biggest cheerleader for him.”
The split coincided with Urlacher undergoing arthroscopic knee surgery, making for a difficult summer on multiple fronts.
The Bottom Line
Brian Urlacher’s wife is Jennipher Frost, a former reality TV contestant who has kept a relatively low profile compared to his earlier relationships. Their marriage since 2016 has been notably quiet, a stark contrast to the tabloid attention that followed his divorce from Laurie and his brief romance with Jenny McCarthy.
Urlacher’s family now spans three children from two previous relationships and a marriage that appears to have given him the stability he sought after years of public ups and downs. As his son Kennedy builds his own football career at USC, the Urlacher name continues to make headlines for a new generation.
