Kim And Mike Singletary’s Initial Encounter

The lovebirds first met during their sophomore year in Baylor University’s library. Kim was looking for an empty seat and saw Mike at a table of eight. She then sat on the corner chair next to him. The beautiful lady approached Mike, asking for his assistance in solving a calculus problem. Additionally, the duo ended up talking a bit.

As a result, their friendship sparked quickly. However, the two never dated in the beginning. In Kim’s own words, ”Well, gosh, I can`t marry him because he`s black.” Regardless, they saw each other for the rest of college and even went on a walk almost every night.

Eventually, as time passed, Kim realized that she was in love with the athlete. She saw him as a perfect husband with all the endearing qualities. The most attractive thing for her was that he possessed every good quality that her father had, such as being sensitive, sincere, and honest.

Soon, the couple started dating and were together for the rest of their college life. Nonetheless, there were some hurdles on their way, and once had to break up for two weeks as there was outside pressure.

The Singletary Couple Walked Down The Aisle Four Decades Ago

The lovely pair encountered many challenges in their relationship due to their interracial differences. For starters, Kim faced disapproval from her parents regarding their wedding. Also, her then-future mother-in-law confronted her, stating Mike would always prioritize her (his mom) before anything.

Besides that, in 1981, their union also started to have a downfall. After he was drafted by the Bears, Kim later on had to move to Detriot with her mom and dad. Though Mike cared a lot, he shifted his focus on his career as he wanted to establish himself in the league. After three years of hard work, he made it to All-Pro.

However, Mike realized that his professional achievements could not fulfill his life. He needed someone besides him, as he felt lonely. The linebacker called Kim, saying,

I’m ready for you now. I’m ready to give you the attention you deserve.

Overcoming bad times, the college sweethearts finally took a step forward and exchanged vows on May 25, 1984. Following their marriage, Kim actively managed all of Mike’s fan mail and participated in his investments and business dealings.

Their Life After Their Wedding

Although the pro footballer was married to the woman of his dreams, Mike’s priority on his career started to affect their relationship. One day, Kim expressed her concerns about his distraction and lack of presence at home.

Even though Mike knew he needed to come forward, he remained silent. Instead, it was Kim who told him, “You have to be here for us, with us. With me. This family has to come before football.”

Addressing the issue, the coach took a step to change. A turning point occurred when he read 1 Corinthians 13 in the Bible and realized the importance of love, patience, and kindness.
