In a moment of joy that has captured the hearts of NFL fans and romantics alike, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and his longtime sweetheart, Bryonna Burrows, have officially tied the knot in a lavish ceremony at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton in Atlanta, Georgia. The star athlete, fresh off leading the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory with a commanding 40-22 win over the Kansas City Chiefs, celebrated his love for Burrows in a grand event that brought together family, friends, and a host of celebrity guests, marking a new chapter for the couple who have been inseparable since their college days.
The wedding, held under the glittering chandeliers of the Ritz-Carlton’s grand ballroom, was a spectacle of elegance and emotion. Hurts, 26, looked dashing in a custom-tailored black tuxedo by Ralph Lauren, complete with a bow tie that featured a subtle nod to the Eagles’ midnight green. Burrows, 27, stole the show in a breathtaking gown by Vera Wang—a strapless, mermaid-style dress adorned with intricate lace and a 12-foot train that shimmered as she walked down the aisle. “She looked like a queen,” a guest remarked, a sentiment echoed by the hundreds of attendees who filled the venue with gasps and applause.
The couple’s love story began at the University of Alabama, where Hurts played college football and Burrows was earning her degree in political science. They met through mutual friends and quickly became a fixture on campus, with Burrows often cheering Hurts on during his games with the Crimson Tide. Their relationship endured through Hurts’ transfer to Oklahoma and his eventual rise to NFL stardom with the Eagles, where he has become one of the league’s most dynamic quarterbacks, earning a Pro Bowl nod and a record-breaking contract extension in 2023. Burrows, now a rising executive at IBM, has been a constant source of support, often seen in the stands at Lincoln Financial Field, proudly wearing Hurts’ No. 1 jersey.
The ceremony was a blend of tradition and personal touches. Hurts and Burrows exchanged vows they wrote themselves, with Hurts visibly emotional as he promised to “protect, lead, and love you like I lead my team—fearlessly.” Burrows, her voice steady but filled with warmth, vowed to be his “biggest fan, on and off the field.” The couple’s shared faith played a central role, with a gospel choir performing “Amazing Grace” and a pastor from Hurts’ hometown of Houston delivering a heartfelt blessing. Eagles teammate Saquon Barkley, who recently made headlines with his own wedding to pop star Anna Congdon, served as one of Hurts’ groomsmen, alongside quarterback AJ Brown and cornerback Darius Slay.
The reception was a star-studded affair, with guests including NFL legends like Michael Vick and Donovan McNabb, as well as celebrities like rapper Lil Baby, who performed a set that had the crowd on their feet. The menu featured a fusion of Southern and Caribbean flavors—a nod to Hurts’ and Burrows’ heritages—with highlights like jerk chicken, peach cobbler, and a towering five-tiered cake decorated with edible gold. A highlight of the evening was the couple’s first dance to John Legend’s “All of Me,” with Hurts twirling Burrows under a shower of rose petals as guests cheered.
Social media exploded with well-wishes, as #HurtsBurrowsWedding trended on X, where fans shared clips of the couple’s entrance and emotional moments from the ceremony. “Jalen Hurts winning on and off the field—congrats to the king and queen!” one user posted, capturing the sentiment of Eagles Nation. The wedding also comes at a time of celebration for the Eagles, who were recently acquired by Elon Musk for $33.5 billion, adding to the buzz around the team.
As Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Burrows embark on their journey as husband and wife, their grand Atlanta wedding stands as a testament to their love, resilience, and shared dreams. Congratulations to the happy couple—here’s to a lifetime of victories, both on the gridiron and in life!
