Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Kenny Pickett found The One in his hometown love, Amy Pickett — and he put a ring on it after less than one year together.
“Got tired of calling you my girlfriend … here’s to a lifetime with the person I cherish more than anything in the world,” Kenny wrote via Instagram in January 2022 alongside photos from the proposal. “You make me a better person and I could not imagine life without you. I love you more forever and always!!”
Amy shared the happy news in an Instagram post of her own, writing, “I am so blessed to have found such a perfect man and to have the privilege of knowing, loving and sharing a life with you. You are my everything: my other half, my best friend, my soulmate.”
The following year, the couple said “I do” in their home state of New Jersey before Kenny kicked off his second NFL season in September 2023. By March 2024, he was traded from the Pittsburgh Steelers to the Philadelphia Eagles. Amy made the move alongside her spouse.
“HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my entire world, greatest blessing, and incredibly handsome husband!!” Amy gushed via Instagram the following June. “I am so so so in love with you. Thanks for always putting the biggest smile on my face and loving life together! I will celebrate you forever ❤️.”
