Jessie James Decker and Eric Decker have a love story that’s all their own.
Jessie and the former NFL pro began dating in 2011 after meeting through mutual friends. “I got a text from my girlfriend who said, ‘I’m having dinner with this guy I’m seeing, and this other guy just showed up, and he’s stunning,’” she recalled to Access Hollywood in 2013. “Show him a picture of me, and see if he’s into it.”
Eric received her number and texted her first, making Jessie want to approach their romance differently.
“From now on, if a man wanted me, he was going to have to show it,” she wrote in her 2018 memoir, Just Jessie. “So I made Eric chase me.”
The twosome got engaged in 2012 and married the following year in Colorado. They welcomed three children: Vivianne in 2014, Eric Jr. in 2015 and Forrest in 2018.
Jessie announced in August 2023 that she was pregnant with baby No. 4. Their third son, Denver, arrived in February 2024.
