Sometimes, the heart has its own playbook. No one understands this better than Jalen Hurts and Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, whose love story could rival even the most epic sports moments.
As Hurts charges the field for Super Bowl 59, with all eyes locked on him, there’s a very special person cheering him on from the sidelines—the woman who holds his heart.

But their story isn’t just about touchdowns and big games; it’s about a bond that’s been years in the making, rooted in their time at the University of Alabama, and solidified through mutual respect, trust, and a love that’s anything but ordinary.
Jalen and Bry's romance is no flash in the pan. It’s the real deal, built on years of knowing each other, even before the world saw them as a couple. So, let's take a closer look at the woman behind the quarterback’s smile, his fiancée, Bryonna “Bry” Burrows, and see what makes their relationship truly heartwarming.
While Jalen Hurts' performance on the field might be the stuff of legend, it’s his relationship with Bry Burrows that deserves a standing ovation. They first sparked interest when they appeared together on the field in January 2023, celebrating Jalen’s NFC Championship victory. But this wasn't their first rodeo. The two first crossed paths at the University of Alabama, where they both excelled in their respective fields—Jalen leading the football team to glory and Bry dominating as part of the MBA Case Team.
Their love wasn't immediate, but over the years, they navigated life and their relationship, dating on and off. Yet, when Jalen stepped up to the mic to share his feelings with Essence, he confirmed what everyone already suspected:
“I knew a long time ago. I mean, to this point in my life, that’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.”
He knew it from the start, and that irreplaceable feeling is what has brought them to where they are today.
For a love story like theirs, a proposal had to be nothing short of spectacular. Picture this: Jalen, with the ocean behind him, candles flickering in the breeze, and a violinist serenading the air—this was the backdrop when he asked Bry to be his forever. Their engagement, confirmed in September 2024, was as beautiful as the love they share. A sparkling diamond on Bry’s hand wasn’t the only sign of their future together—there were the looks, the warmth, and the promise of a lifetime in every embrace.
Bry and Jalen’s story is more than just love; it’s about partnership, support, and mutual admiration. Whether it’s Bry cheering Jalen on during the Eagles' season opener or Jalen making his feelings for her clear in every interview, they’re each other's biggest fans. From sharing victories on the field to celebrating life’s biggest moments, their connection is grounded in deep respect for one another.
In a world where relationships can often be fleeting, the story of Jalen Hurts and Bryonna Burrows stands as a reminder that true love isn’t built overnight. It’s cultivated over time, through ups and downs, and in the quiet moments just as much as the grand ones.
Ergo, as Jalen heads into the 2025 Super Bowl, one thing’s for sure: he’s already won in the most important game of all.
