The Tampa Bay Buccaneers began the 2025-26 NFL regular season with a W—defeating the Atlanta Falcons 23-20 on Sept. 7. As they head into the weeks to come, we’re taking a look at some of its roster’s significant others who will be supporting the squad on the sidelines as the season gets into full swing.

Emily Mayfield (Baker Mayfield)

Emily married the quarterback in the summer of 2019, and the couple welcomed their first child, Kova Jade Mayfield, in April of 2024. She’s been by the 30-year-old’s side since he was originally drafted to the Cleveland Browns in 2018, per TMZ, and said yes to the rookie that same year. The duo joined the Tampa Bay organization in 2023.

Carolyn Moore (Sterling Shepard)

Lion & Loki skincare brand founder, Carolyn Moore, said yes to wide receiver, Sterling Shepard, in June—after becoming Instagram official with the 32-year-old in March of 2023. The duo has a blended family—Carolyn has a son, Lion (7), and Sterling has two daughters, Cali Clay (7) and Cassie Snow (5), with Chanel Iman—per Page Six.

Ashli Evans (Mike Evans)

Ashli and Mike tied the knot in 2016, three years after they first connected as college students at Blinn College and Texas A&M University, per PEOPLE. They said their vows in the Lone Star State, where Mike’s oldest daughter, Mackenzie (13), rang in the celebratory day with them. They share three children, Ariah Lynn (8), Amari Thomas (5) and Aliyah Nicole (3).

Alexandra Sanders (Adam Gotsis)

Sanders is the long-time partner of the defensive lineman. The duo joined the Tampa Bay franchise this season from the Indianapolis Colts, after spending four seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars, starting in 2020. Sanders is an ordained minister and author.

Naja-Achee Jones (Deion Jones)

Naja-Achee celebrated her three-year wedding anniversary with the linebacker in July, after tying the knot in a lavish Louisiana ceremony in 2022. The registered nurse already shared some game-day moments on Instagram this season, with the whole family repping Deion’s number, 45.

Alexis Vea (Vita Vea)

Alexus and the nose tackle cemented their marriage in March of 2022, before welcoming their first daughter together, Honey Marie (2), in May of 2023. The duo of former University of Washington athletes (Alexus played basketball; Vita played football) has been members of the Tampa Bay community since Vita was drafted by the organization in 2018.

Meredith Sutton (Tristan Wirfs)

Longtime couple Sutton and Wirfs have been together since 2019, and have been members of the Buccaneers organization since the tackle was drafted to the team in 2020. The former collegiate volleyball player welcomed her first child with Tristan, named Julius Patrick (1), in April of 2024.

Brittany Jordan (Mike Jordan)

Brittany is in her newlywed era after saying “I do” to this guard in April. The couple shares two children, James Alexander (2) and Levan (1), and touched down in Chicago, Ill., to declare their vows. This is the family’s first season in Tampa Bay.

Newlywed Tatum tied the knot to Ben in late June in Illinois, deeming the occasion “a day I want to relive for the rest of my life.” The former Ohio State hockey player announced, two months later, that the couple was expecting their first child with a March 2026 due date.

Katie Bondar (Evan Deckers)

Bondar and Decker took their relationship to new heights (literally) when the long snapper proposed in the mountains of Huntington, Vt. “feeling like the luckiest girl in the world,” Katie scribed while announcing the news in March. “I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with my best friend.”

Allison (Riley Dixon)

Allison and Riley join the Bucaneers this season after the punter spent the 2023 and 2024 seasons with the Denver Broncos. While information on the duo is limited, Broncos beat reporter Zac Stevens posted in Aug. 2023 that the duo was expecting a baby girl due in Jan. 2024.

Isabel first debuted on Charlie’s Instagram almost a decade ago in October of 2016. The duo of University of North Carolina alumni have been “side by side [from] freshman to senior year,” the tackle declared on the app—when Isabel graduated in 2021—and entered their first season in Tampa Bay.

Zaria Scarlett (Christian Izien)

While this duo keeps their relationship private, they’ve been an item throughout Izien’s tenure with the Buccaneers. A year after the safety was drafted, Scarlett—who has a master’s degree from the University of Miami—brought fans along for game day on the Women of the NFL’s Instagram.

Aly Christianson (Ko Kieft)

Christianson and Kieft have been linked for over a year, after Kieft made the couple’s debut on his Instagram feed in April of 2024. They are both University of Minnesota alumni, and the tight end has been with the Buccaneers since he was drafted in 2022.

Hope Culpepper (Elijah Klein)

It was a summer to remember for Culpepper, who added a new piece of jewelry to her left ring finger. The NYU law student announced on Instagram that she said “yes” to the Tampa Bay guard on July 6, and her new fiancé exclaimed, “Sorry fellas, I’m off the market.”

Carly Mauch (Cody Mauch)

Carley said yes to the guard in July of 2024 and, by June of the following year, she was walking down the aisle in Fargo, N. Dak. They have been together throughout Cody’s entire three-year tenure in Tampa Bay.
