Jalen Hurts is married to Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, his college sweetheart from the University of Alabama who has quietly become his most important teammate off the field.
The Philadelphia Eagles quarterback, fresh off a Super Bowl LIX victory and an MVP performance, tied the knot with Burrows in the spring of 2025 after nearly a decade of a remarkably private relationship. They followed up their quiet courthouse-style union with a lavish second wedding celebration in Napa Valley that spanned an entire weekend and included a surprise appearance from Stevie Wonder.
Here’s everything you need to know about the woman behind the Super Bowl MVP.
Who Is Bryonna “Bry” Burrows?
Bryonna “Bry” Burrows is a University of Alabama graduate who built a career in the tech industry, most recently working as an artificial intelligence partner for IBM. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Spanish and political science from Alabama in 2017, then went on to complete her MBA at the university’s Manderson School of Business.
During her time at Alabama, Burrows was deeply involved in campus life. She was a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc., and even ran for homecoming queen in 2016. In 2017, the university’s official Twitter account featured her with a quote about Honors Day that read, “No words to describe the humble reminder of Honors Day at #UA. Knowing I have been recognized is priceless.”
She and Hurts were both involved in Greek life at Alabama. He was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc., while she was part of Alpha Kappa Alpha.
How They Met
Jalen Hurts and Bry Burrows met while both were students at the University of Alabama between 2016 and 2018, when Hurts was the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback. Their relationship was on-and-off during those college years, but it clearly left a lasting impression on both of them.
They kept their romance almost entirely out of the public eye for years, even after Hurts was drafted by the Eagles in 2020.
The Relationship Goes Public
The couple’s first major public moment came in January 2023, when Burrows joined Hurts on the field to celebrate the Eagles’ NFC Championship victory over the San Francisco 49ers. That appearance confirmed what many had suspected: the college sweethearts were still very much together.
Later that year, Hurts opened up to Essence magazine about his feelings for her in a rare moment of vulnerability.
“I knew a long time ago,” he said. “To this point in my life, that’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.”
In that same interview, he made his commitment clear: “I’m not married or anything like that. But I am spoken for.”
The Engagement
Hurts proposed to Burrows in September 2024, just as the Eagles’ championship season was getting underway. The proposal was a romantic beach setting, complete with candles, red roses, and a violinist.
Burrows was first spotted wearing an engagement ring at the Eagles’ season-opener that September, and the couple confirmed the news shortly after with photos shared through Essence.
The Super Bowl Moment
When Hurts led the Eagles to a 40-22 victory over the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX in February 2025, Burrows was right there on the field with him at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
The couple shared a rare public kiss in the center of the field, and Hurts was later seen walking around thanking fans with Burrows holding tightly to his hand. During a pre-game press conference, Hurts had already given her a heartfelt shoutout that went viral.
“To Bry, the Mrs., thank you for the support, thank you for the love,” he said. “And thank you for being the rock that I can lean on.”
The Wedding(s)
Hurts quietly confirmed that he and Burrows had married in an interview with Men’s Health published in April 2025. When the magazine hit stands, he told them simply, “You can call her my wife.”
He arrived at that interview with a crumpled pink Post-It note tucked in his pocket, a message from Burrows that read: “You are exactly where you are supposed to be. I love you. Follow God! I follow you.”
Two months later, in June 2025, they celebrated their marriage with a second, larger wedding in Napa Valley. They rented out the entire Four Seasons resort from Thursday to Sunday, treating 60 guests to a weekend of festivities that included a poolside dinner, a barn party, and a ceremony by a fountain where they exchanged vows.
Hurts wore a classic white tuxedo jacket with black pants and a black tie. Burrows stunned in a white strapless gown with a flowing train. Music icon Stevie Wonder was among the guests.
Why Their Relationship Works
In a world of constant scrutiny and social media noise, Jalen and Bry Burrows have built something rare: a genuinely private partnership.
They dated for nearly seven years before the public even knew they were together. They didn’t post anniversary tributes or share romantic getaways. They simply built a life together, quietly, while Hurts became one of the NFL’s biggest stars and Burrows built her own career in tech.
When Hurts speaks about her, it’s with a steadiness that suggests something deeper than a typical celebrity romance. She is, in his words, “the rock that I can lean on.”
For a quarterback who has faced enormous pressure and delivered a Super Bowl championship to Philadelphia, having that kind of foundation at home might be the most valuable thing he has.
The Bottom Line
Jalen Hurts is married to Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, his college sweetheart, a tech professional, and the woman he calls his rock. They met at Alabama, dated quietly for years, got engaged in 2024, married in 2025, and celebrated their union with a Napa Valley weekend that they’ll never forget.
In an era where so many relationships play out in public, theirs has been built in private. And that might be exactly why it works.
