💍 Touchdown in Love: Jalen Hurts Marries Longtime Love Bryonna Burrows in Glamorous Ritz-Carlton Ceremony
ATLANTA, GA — Love was truly in the air as Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts said “I do” to his longtime partner, Bryonna Burrows, in a stunning and emotionally charged wedding ceremony at the luxurious Ritz-Carlton in downtown Atlanta this past weekend.
The event was nothing short of a fairytale—an unforgettable blend of elegance, star power, and heartfelt moments that captured the very essence of the couple’s journey from college sweethearts to one of the NFL’s most admired duos.
🥂 A Star-Studded Celebration of Love
From the moment the guests began to arrive, it was clear that this wasn’t just any wedding. The celebration brought together a powerful blend of familiar faces from both the sports and entertainment worlds. Among those spotted were Hurts’ Philadelphia Eagles teammates, including several offensive linemen who have protected him on the field—and now came to support him off it—as well as former college teammates from Alabama, where the couple’s love story began.
Coaches, team staff, NFL legends, and even a few surprise celebrity guests made appearances to share in the couple’s joy. Notably, Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni was seen offering his warm congratulations, while star wide receiver DeVonta Smith delivered a heartfelt toast that reportedly moved many in the room to tears.
💃 A Night to Remember: Southern Soul Meets High-End Glamour
The reception was where the celebration reached its peak—a perfect mix of sophistication and Southern charm. The atmosphere buzzed with energy as guests were treated to lively music, a dazzling dance floor, and a culinary lineup that married Southern comfort food with gourmet flair. Think buttermilk fried chicken with truffle mac and cheese, blackened catfish, shrimp and grits, and artisanal desserts that included a multi-tiered red velvet wedding cake adorned with edible gold leaf.
The bride and groom had their first dance to a soulful rendition of “At Last” by Etta James, a moment so touching it brought several guests—reportedly including a few NFL players—to tears. As the iconic lyrics rang out, Hurts gently twirled Bryonna under the soft glow of a crystal chandelier, cementing a memory that will last a lifetime.
💬 A Love Built on Loyalty, Growth, and Mutual Respect
Hurts and Burrows have long kept their relationship relatively private, with only subtle hints and rare public appearances offering glimpses into their strong connection. Friends close to the couple describe their love as “steady, unshakable, and grounded in faith, trust, and shared ambition.”
Bryonna, a business professional with a master’s degree in business administration, has often been praised for her intellect, independence, and elegance. She’s reportedly been a pillar of support throughout Hurts’ career, especially during pivotal moments like his transfer from Alabama to Oklahoma and his rise to NFL stardom.
In his brief but emotional speech at the reception, Hurts shared:
“I’ve always been calm under pressure on the field—but this kind of love, this kind of woman, she makes my heart race in the best way. I’m the man I am today because she’s been walking beside me, long before the fame.”
📸 Behind the Scenes: The Wedding Aesthetic
Visually, the wedding was a masterclass in modern elegance. The décor featured tones of deep emerald, white roses, and gold accents, nodding to both classic Southern beauty and contemporary luxury. Bryonna stunned in a custom off-the-shoulder gown with intricate lace detailing and a cathedral-length veil, while Jalen wore a sharp white tuxedo jacket with black lapels, effortlessly blending athletic poise with red-carpet charm.
Celebrity wedding planner Mindy Weiss is rumored to have overseen the design and coordination, and judging by social media buzz and sneak peeks from guests, the night was pure perfection from start to finish.
🏈 What’s Next for the Newlyweds?
With the NFL offseason in full swing, the newlyweds are expected to jet off for a tropical honeymoon, possibly in the Maldives or Bora Bora, before Hurts returns to training camp. The Eagles’ front office and fans alike are thrilled to see Hurts grounded not only as a leader on the field but also as a committed husband off it.
As one teammate jokingly said during a toast:
“If Jalen leads the Eagles like he leads his relationship, we’re winning the Super Bowl this year.”
💖 A Love Story for the Ages
In a league where headlines are often dominated by contracts, controversies, and career moves, Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Burrows have reminded the world that love stories still shine bright—even under stadium lights.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Hurts! 🥳🏈💒
