Tyler Loop’s rookie season ended with a 44-yard kick sailing wide right, a gut-wrenching loss to Pittsburgh, and a wave of online abuse that didn’t just target him. It crashed straight into his engagement post. But through the darkest moment of his young NFL career, one person stood firmly beside him: his then-fiancée, now wife, Julia Loop.
Their story is one of college sweethearts, a public proposal, and a wedding that came just weeks after one of the most painful moments a kicker can endure. Here’s everything we know about the woman who said “I do” to the Ravens’ kicker.
From Arizona to Baltimore: A Love Story That Started in College
Tyler Loop and Julia Otto first connected during Loop’s final year at the University of Arizona in 2024. While the kicker was wrapping up his collegiate career, their relationship was just beginning, and it quickly became serious.
The couple announced their engagement on March 9, 2025, just a few months after they started dating. Tyler shared the news on Instagram with a heartfelt caption, while Julia wrote on the joint post: “Going to spend forever wondering how I got this lucky. I cannot wait to marry my best friend and the best guy I’ve ever known.”
By November 2025, with the wedding approaching, Tyler posted photos of the couple with the caption, “My good and perfect gift from above. 3 months until I get to marry her!”
The Miss That Changed Everything
On January 4, 2026, the Ravens needed a 44-yard field goal from Loop to win the AFC North and make the playoffs. The rookie, who had made 30 of 34 kicks that season, pushed it wide right. Baltimore lost 26-24, Pittsburgh took the division, and the season was over.
What happened next was ugly. Angry fans flooded the comments of the couple’s engagement post, the pinned photo on Loop’s Instagram, with vicious messages. “Hope you get divorced,” one comment read. “Still have time to cancel the wedding,” another added.
The comments on the engagement post eventually had to be limited, and Julia made her Instagram account private.
A Wedding Amid the Storm
Despite the online cruelty, Tyler and Julia didn’t waver. On February 25, 2026, the couple announced they had officially tied the knot.
“Immeasurably more than all I could’ve asked for or imagined,” they wrote in a joint Instagram post. “Mr. & Mrs. Loop!”
Tyler updated his Instagram bio to read “husband,” and Julia changed her handle from Julia Otto to Julia Loop. The ceremony appeared elegant and intimate, with Julia sharing photos alongside her bridesmaids and guests.
Who Is Julia Loop Beyond the Title of “Wife”?
Julia has kept a relatively low public profile compared to some NFL partners. Her Instagram is private, and she rarely speaks publicly. But what’s clear from the couple’s social media is a relationship built on faith, gratitude, and mutual support.
When Tyler spoke to reporters after the devastating miss, he leaned heavily on his faith, something Julia has clearly been part of. “Faith is a big part of my life,” he said. “It’s such a fortunate thing to be here… being placed in Baltimore with this team has been the biggest blessing of my life.”
A Partnership That Survived the Fire
The abuse Tyler and Julia faced would have shaken many couples. Instead, they came out of it married. The wedding came less than two months after the worst moment of Tyler’s career, a testament to the strength of their bond.
Julia Loop may not have a public platform or a viral social media presence. But she’s the person Tyler Loop chose to stand beside him through the highest highs and the lowest lows of professional football, and that’s worth more than any kick.
