Kansas City Chiefs Wide Receiver has three Super Bowl rings to his name, but his personal life with wife is just as rewarding.
“Prioritizing family is my top priority. It’s irreplaceable. If my football career ended tomorrow, I’d still have Erica and [our son] Zion, the two most important people on earth to me,” Justin wrote in an essay for All Pro Dad published in September 2024.
Justin and Erica tied the knot in June 2022 and welcomed Zion in April 2023. The couple announced in November 2024 that they are expecting their second baby. Just as Justin carves out time for his family, Erica makes it a point to support her husband’s football career. She regularly shares photos of herself attending Chiefs games.
