Football season is officially in session, which means fans of the Atlanta Falcons have their merchandise polished and ready to flaunt for whichever game they’re fortunate enough to attend.

While at those games, fans may notice several women standing on the sidelines, cheering louder than anyone else in the stands. These women are none other than the wives and girlfriends of the Falcons. It’s high time to start putting names to these familiar faces. All the more reason why we’re here to introduce you to each of the special ladies in the lives of these professional athletes.

Without further ado, meet these WAGs!

Allie Neuzil (Ryan Neuzil)

From snowy vacations in Utah to attending weddings in North Carolina, Ryan and Allie appear to enjoy traveling the world together. Their latest adventure, however, seems to be the greatest yet, consisting of a trip down the wedding aisle in Georgia. The two officially wed in July 2025, with a gorgeous outdoor wedding at the Sugarloaf Country Club.

Ashleigh McCullough (Liam McCullough)

Liam and Ashleigh aren’t the type to shy away from dressing up in a costume. During the 2023 Halloween season, the couple dressed up as alcoholic beverages. In 2021, they dressed up as Dwight and Angela from The Office. Next Halloween, they might have to be a little clever with their matching costumes, since they’ll have to include one more person—their first child.

Cheyenne Ford (Mike Ford Jr.)

As fate would have it, Mike and Cheyenne crossed paths at a Southeast Missouri State University house party back in October 2015 after bonding over Cheyenne’s peanut M&M Halloween costume. Who would have thought that such a union would lead to these two promising forever to each other nearly ten years later? The Fords now have a sweet (literally!) tale to tell to those curious about their love story.

Danielle Kaylah (Tyler Allgeier)

Being together for eight years is no easy feat, but it’s a testament to the love Tyler and Danielle share. The two celebrated their most recent anniversary with a trip to Disneyland, where they laughed on rides and took adorable snaps. Almost a decade strong, it’s hard not to swoon when viewing their young love.

Gabriela Motino (Jovaughn Gwyn)

Jovaughn popped the big question to Gabriela back in February 2023 with a beautiful beach proposal. He outlined a red heart with flower petals, showing off his romantic side. He also surrounded the place with candles and wrote out the words “marry me” with large blocks. Surprised by the sight, Gabriela didn’t hesitate to accept the request of her boyfriend of five years.

Gabrielle Wilkinson (Elijah Wilkinson)

In 2014, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst was the place where Elijah and Gabrielle first met. Flash forward six years, and Elijah knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with the love of his life, getting down on one knee to ask Gabrielle to be his wife at Hôtel Danieli. Later that same year, the pair got married at the War Memorial Rose Garden. They share two children.

Issy Quitoriano (Teagan Quitoriano)

Love is a special thing. Teagan and Issy know this to be true, as they cemented their love with a dreamy wedding ceremony in March 2025. They tied the knot at InterContinental Sanctuary Cove Resort, where Issy wore a charming white gown with intricate detailing and Teagan wore his classy black suit and tie. Their wedding came almost two years after their engagement in September 2023.

Julie Cousins (Kirk Cousins)

Kirk didn’t waste any time making Julie his wife, proving that when someone knows, they most certainly know. He met Julie through a mutual friend back in 2012, and a year later, he was placing a ring on her finger. By 2014, the lovebirds were married, having had their wedding in Atlanta. Now, Kirk and Julie are parents to two precious children, a son named Cooper and another son named Turner.

Bradley and Kaeleigh Reece started off as friends when they were first brought together at Clemson University. Eventually, their friendship blossomed into something more, leading to six years of dating. Before entering the seventh year of their romance, Bradley took the relationship to the next level, asking Kaeleigh to be his wife with a special proposal featuring their pup. In 2018, they became husband and wife.

Katie Hinton (Kyle Hinton)

Couples that share the first letter of their names together, stay together—okay, while this isn’t always the case, it seems to be so with Kyle and Katie. One of The Hintons’ latest Instagram pictures features the two standing side by side at a breathtaking location in Sun City, Ariz. The smiles on their faces are as radiant as the West Coast.

Lauren Romo (Parker Romo)

Parker and his family of three couldn’t be any more delightful. But before this kicker kicked off his parenthood journey, he was the longtime partner of Lauren. The two got engaged in March 2019, with Parker writing out the big question in the sand at Plaza Pelicanos Grand Beach Resort. A little later, the two got married in May 2023. Later that year, he became a first-time dad. He welcomed his second daughter in February of 2025.

Madelyn Benson (JD Bertrand)

Congratulations are in order for JD and Madelyn, as the two are now soon-to-be husband and wife. This proposal was years in the making, with this couple having been locked in with one another two and a half years prior. All the moments shared in their college days and everything in between led to their extraordinary day in May 2025.

Madison Carter (Nathan Carter)

When love wants two people together, there’s not much else that can stand in the way of this happening. Case in point, Nathan turning down Madison’s invite to make pancakes at her house after they met through a mutual friend at church. Had these fated individuals left it at the invite, they wouldn’t have been the married couple that they are today. Thankfully, love had other plans, and now, they can make pancakes together whenever they want.

Madison Lindstrom (Chris Lindstrom)

In August 2021, Chris and Madison turned it up a notch, taking their romantic bond to a whole new level. Once engaged, the wedding wasn’t too far away, as they sealed the deal in July 2023 with an exquisite wedding at the Starting Gate at GreatHorse. Two years down and forever to go, they look forward to where their love story will take them next.

Meggi Matthews (Jake Matthews)

Jake’s biggest cheerleaders are sitting on the sidelines, rooting for the left tackle’s victory. Coming in as the veteran cheerleader is Meggi, Jake’s wife of four years. Up next is their firstborn son, Beckett, who already seems to be taking after his father on the field. Last but not least is the baby of the family, Gracie Ann, who has been right by her papa’s side since before she could walk and talk.

Olivia Carter (Michael Penix Jr.)

Mike loves being in love, and that is made abundantly clear when watching the way he loves Olivia. He officially took her off the market in December 2024 by popping the big question in a backyard filled with red roses. The couple’s family and friends were not too far behind, celebrating this momentous occasion with smiles plastered all over their faces. Safe to say, those smiles aren’t going anywhere any time soon, with a wedding expected around the corner.

Rickea Jackson (James Pearce Jr.)

James and Rickea are basically two peas in a pod. They both attended the University of Tennessee, where James played college football and Rickea played college basketball. They both eventually went pro, being amazingly talented in their respective fields. Today, they both share an immense love for one another, being a sports power couple destined for greatness.

Samaria Leah (Jordan Fuller)

Jordan and Samaria may keep their relationship lowkey as of late, but that doesn’t mean that their love isn’t as high key as ever. The duo has been dating since 2021, making their relationship Instagram official with a swoon-worthy polaroid of the two and a very heartfelt birthday message to accompany it. Their love continues to grow with every passing year.

Sofia Gabay (Drake London)

When Drake isn’t on the football field being an awesome wide receiver for the Falcons, he’s being an awesome boyfriend to Sofia. He has an entire Instagram collection dedicated to her, and it goes both ways, with her having the same. Even so, whether online or offline, these two absolutely are a perfect match.

Sydney Woerner (Charlie Woerner)

Charlie officially got to marry his best friend, Sydney, in June 2020. By 2022, they announced that they were expecting their first child together, and before the end of this year, they welcomed their baby boy, Henry Michael, into the world. It wasn’t long before Henry became a big brother, as John Rhymer was born in April 2025. Sydney and these little munchkins are the first people Charlie sees when he looks into the crowd.
