AceShowbiz - Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is engaged to longtime girlfriend Bryonna "Bry" Burrows. The couple announced the news on Friday, September 13, after sparking engagement rumors earlier this month.
In an exclusive interview with Essence magazine, Hurts and Burrows shared the romantic details of their engagement, which took place during the NFL offseason. Hurts proposed during a tropical vacation, setting the mood with roses, candles, and the sounds of a violinist. Both Hurts and Burrows wore white outfits for the special occasion.
The couple sparked engagement rumors last week when Burrows was spotted wearing a large diamond ring at the NFL's first-ever game in Brazil, where the Eagles defeated the Green Bay Packers.
Hurts and Burrows met in college at the University of Alabama, where Hurts played football and Burrows was a top student. They dated on and off for several years before going public with their relationship in January 2023, when Burrows rushed down to the field to celebrate the Eagles' NFC Championship victory.
In an interview with Essence last April, Hurts revealed that he has known for a "long time" that Burrows is the one for him. He described the bond they share as "irreplaceable" and credited it for helping them overcome challenges.
The couple's engagement comes after Hurts recently signed a lucrative five-year, $255 million contract extension with the Eagles, making him the highest-paid player annually in NFL history.
Burrows, an artificial intelligence specialist for IBM, has been a supportive figure in Hurts' career. The couple made their red carpet debut at the Time100 Next Gala in October 2023. Hurts and Burrows' engagement is a testament to their enduring love and commitment to each other. Congratulations to the happy couple!
