When it comes to love, there’s no better person to do it with than someone who will stick around through thick and thin. Being in such a competitive sport as football is bound to come with amazing victories and heartbreaking losses. But so long as these members of the Chicago Bears have their wives or girlfriends next to them, they’ll be okay.

Meet the Bears WAGs and a little bit about them below.

Simone Biles (Jonathan Owens)

Biles, an Olympic gymnast and SI Swimsuit model, and Owens, a safety, had crossed paths before, but it wasn’t until they met on the dating app Raya in March 2020 that their love finally took off.

A couple of hangouts prior to the pandemic, they knew they had something special. So much so that, despite the need for social distancing at the time, their budding romance survived through it all. In April 2023, they tied the knot with an intimate wedding in Texas.

Aja Jarrett (Grady Jarrett)

2025 is a goated year for Grady and Aja, getting married and looking fabulous while doing so. From Aja’s lace robe from the INNA ELSIE bridal collection for her wedding morning to her captivating ballgown dress while walking down the aisle, she perfected bridal fashion. Their June 2025 wedding couldn’t be more serene.

Alannah Davidson (Rome Odunze)

Davidson and Odunze’s love story began in 2022. The pair met as students at the University of Washington. Since their relationship debut, Davidson has taken to Instagram to celebrate each anniversary. Her most recent, a lovely black and white snap of the two, commemorates their third anniversary.

Anna Shamroth (Ryan Bates)

Always by Bates’s side is his girlfriend, Anna Shamroth. Whenever the Chicago Bears center gets a chance to show off the one who has won over his heart, he does so. Hence why his recent Instagram pictures have included his biggest cheerleader. For Shamroth, she shows off her love for her man with the ultimate gesture—having his last name plastered on her denim jeans.

Bri’Anna Dexter (Gervon Dexter Sr.)

The younger version of Gervon would be pleased to know that the high school crush he fell for all those years ago would later become his wife and the mother of his two precious children. He calls his charming family of four his “tribe.”

Carley Jackson (D’Marco Jackson)

The Jacksons have been one another’s biggest supporters, from Carley getting her master’s degree to D’Marco entering the NFL. It’s natural that having a ride or die like this would eventually lead to a ring on Carley’s finger in February 2023, a wedding date in July 2024 and a bundle of joy in May 2025.

Clarke Byard (Kevin Byard)

Kevin and Clarke began dating when they were just teens in the 10th grade. Their love carried all the way to adulthood for about eight years, leading up to the very day the two walked down the aisle in 2018. From being kids to having kids, the two are proud parents of two beautiful children.

Emily Kmet (Cole Kmet)

June is an especially important month for the Kmets. In June 2024, Cole and his long-term partner Emily went from high school sweethearts to fiancés. The tight end asked Emily to be his wife with an oval-shaped diamond ring, which later got paired with a wedding band when they tied the knot in their June 2025 wedding, surrounded by friends, family and teammates. What will next June bring?

Emma Robinson (Dominique Robinson)

Dominique’s first Instagram snap of him and his now-wife dates back to 2018, showing that this is a love that’s been blossoming for years. Three years after their wedding in January 2022, the couple welcomed their first child, a boy named Dominique “Deej” Jr. Robinson.

Erin Morairty (Ozzy Trapilo)

Trapilo blesses his Instagram account with photos of himself and his girlfriend, Erin Morairty. Their photos date back to June 2020.

Eva Serrano (Josh Blackwell)

One thing Blackwell and Serrano are going to do is stand side by side. Since February 2024, Blackwell has shared adorable pictures of his girlfriend from time to time. And whenever he does—be it on the football field or on vacation in Cancun—there’s often a shining smile on the faces of these two lovebirds.

Faith Begin (Durham Smythe)

For Smythe, Begin is his girlfriend, friend and travel buddy all wrapped into one. In addition to the romantic bond they share, the pair’s adoration for exploring the world is also another passion of theirs, as they have visited the likes of Italy, Switzerland and Germany. Their first-ever social media-worthy trip dates back to 2023 with their stop at a local animal shelter.

Inara Santos (Cairo Santos)

Leave it to Cairo to drop a family photo that warms the heart. His team of four couldn’t be any sweeter, including his son, daughter and wife, Inara.

Jaden Jones (Jaylon Jones)

Evidence of their love can be first noted in July 2023, when Jaylon posted a series of pictures of himself and his girlfriend on his Instagram. A couple of months later, Jaylon announced that the two were expecting a child, with a picture of him and Jaden holding a newspaper breaking the big story. All of this leads to this year, when Jaden celebrated her first Mother’s Day with her man and baby by her side.

Janessa McFadden (Jaylon Johnson)

Love is sticking by someone’s side through the good times and the bad. Jaylon and Janessa certainly know this to be true because, amid Jaylon’s struggles with addiction, Janessa, a registered nurse, supported him. In May 2024, Jaylon got down on one knee and proposed. They share a child.

Jordyn Hicks (Elijah Hicks)

After Elijah’s heartwarming proposal to Jordyn in December 2023, surrounded by family, the couple got married in June 2024. Fast forward to this year, the two have been extended by one, giving birth to their baby boy, Elliott Hicks, in June 2025.

Kelly Jo Edwards (T.J. Edwards)

The Edwards couple met one fated night at a bar, where Kelly Jo was bartending and T.J. was looking for a good time during Super Bowl Weekend in 2016. An engagement followed in 2022, cementing their love even further, and they wed in 2023.

Kendall Mingalee (Luther Burden III)

Burden and Mingalee went Instagram official in 2023. From then on, they shared many moments together, including Christmas, matching couple outfits and celebrating Luther signing with the Bears. Currently, they have a joint YouTube channel, with content ranging from Q&As to vlogs of their daily lives.

Kimberly Keenum (Case Keenum)

Case and Kimberly bumped into one another on various occasions before one of them finally got the courage to speak up. From a snow cone gesture to walking down the aisle, the Keenum couple has come very far.

Monica Daly (Scott Daly)

Five years ago, Monica said “I do” to her now-husband Scott. She refers to their wedding as a “perfect day,” including the veil given to her by her mother, her bouquet of flowers from her mother’s friend and, most importantly, marrying the love of her life. In 2025, they welcomed their first child, Noah Luke Daiy, into the world.

Raven Battle (DJ Moore)

Moore and Battle are forming a little football team of their own, as the couple welcomed baby number three into the world earlier this year. Their first child was born in 2019, followed by their second in 2023.

Tee (Tremaine Edmunds)

Wedding bells are going off in the heads of this happy couple, as these two are heading down the aisle. Edmunds popped the big question to his long-time girlfriend with a dreamy December 2024 engagement in front of a plethora of red roses that symbolized their deep romance.
