The Cincinnati Bengals center Ted Karras has been married to Rachel Karras, a Pilates instructor. The lovebirds started dating in their college days and have been together ever since. Even though they haven’t kept their relationship low-key, there are several things about their relationships that are not known well.
Let’s take a dig inside to gain knowledge about the supportive nature of a Professional Football player’s wife
Rachel was Ted’s Best Friend Before Becoming His Better Half
Ted and Rachel’s relationship started at college. The duo came across at a university party and hit it off soon. According to the reports, Rachel was a Kappa Delta at the university, who apparently arrived two hours early and met Ted.
They became good friends soon and remained best friends for some time before they started going out.
After dating for nearly five years, the couple got married on February 17, 2018, at the Arista Hotel in Illinois. Their wedding was held privately and only their family and close friends were in attendance.
On February 17, 2021, Karras shared a couple of pictures from their wedding day marking their third wedding anniversary. “How time has flown by already! 3 years of marriage with my best friend Rachel Karras have been the most delightful, wholesome, and meaningful of my life,” Ted wrote in the caption.
We can see how much he admires his beautiful wife.
They Got Engaged at The Trump Tower
Ted and Rachel’s engagement is a little more unusual than we’ve heard. Both of them had planned a whole weekend for their proposal. Rachel said that she and Ted went to visit her parents one weekend and it started from there.
After meeting her family, Ted and Rachel’s father went for a dinner separately where the NFL star could ask for her hand in marriage.
A couple of days later, Ted and Rachel took a limousine to Chicago where Ted proposed to her in Trump Tower. After their engagement, they celebrated it with Rachel’s part of the family and their college friends.
They Both Feel Fortunate to Find Each Other
The lovebirds have been leading a happily married life so far. The two don’t have children yet and looking at the NFL star’s social media posts, we can tell they aren’t in a hurry to expand their family. The two have been together since their late teen days and obviously, they have seen lots of ups and downs in their personal and professional life. But they have always stood up for one another.
If we go through Ted’s social media posts, we can see how grateful he has been to find his wife. In one of his Instagram posts, he shared a quote, “But everything thing means nothing if I ain’t got you” and “my ride or die” showing love and affection to his wifey.
Who Is Ted’s Wife?
Rachel (nee McCool), born on March 3, is the daughter of Derek McCool and Kristy Desanti.
The NFL WAG studied diploma at Geneva High School in 2010 and earned her major degree in Human Development and Family Studies from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 2014.
She is a Pilates Instructor in Boston
The Super Bowl champion’s wifey works as a Pilates Instructor at Boston Body Pilates in Boston. Apart from this, Rachel is also a fitness model for different apparel brands.
Before she was a Pilates Instructor, she worked as an Office Assistant at Chile Care Resources Services, and during her college days, the fitness model worked as an Undergraduate Research Assistant at the Family Resiliency Center.
They Both Love Pets
The duo own pets as both of them are animal lovers. They purchased two ginger-colored cats; Nigel and Piece on the occasion of their marriage ceremony. The twosome posted a lovely picture on Easter with their pets back in 2020.
Besides, we can see them with their pets on many of their social media posts.
