Pro athletes are at the top of their physical game, on the biggest stages in the world, and richer than rich can be. We decided to look at 16 professional athletes who ended up marrying gorgeous, non famous women. Let’s see if these beautiful couples will get your total cholesterol to rise from binge eating in jealousy!
Kurt and Brenda Warner
Kurt Warner is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the game and he would be a surefire Hall of Famer if injuries hadn’t shortened his legacy. Still, Warner went out on top by winning a Super Bowl for the Arizona Cardinals. Warner never let his decade of NFL success and he married his now wife, Brenda Warner, back in 1997. Apparently it was a match made in heaven, like easily stackable chairs, as they are still together.

The two spend most of their time working with charities and other philanthropic efforts.

Joe Flacco and Dana Grady
Flacco may be judged as ’emotionless’ on the field but don’t tell his wife, Dana Grady.

AJ McCarron and Katherine Webb-McCarron
So, we’ve come to the conclusion that you need to be an NFL QB or an MLB pitcher in order to land a gorgeous non celebrity wife. AJ McCarron is the back up QB in Cincinnati and he flashed for a brief moment in time after starter Andy Dalton went down in 2014. AJ McCarron is married to the gorgeous Katherine Webb-McCarron The gorgeous couple only has one child together, Tripp McCarron.
