Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has much to celebrate as he steps into a new chapter of his life both professionally and personally.
Over the past weekend, Goff exchanged vows with model Christen Harper in a picturesque ceremony held in Ojai, California.
The couple, who have been engaged since 2022 and in a relationship since 2019, have shared significant milestones together, including Goff’s high-profile move from the Los Angeles Rams to the Detroit Lions.
Harper has been a constant presence by Goff’s side since his days with the Rams and notably made headlines in 2021.
She was captured celebrating a Lions victory while on location for that year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, an event that went viral, endearing her to Lions fans and further cementing her public persona.

Aside from his marital bliss, Goff has other reasons to celebrate this offseason. He recently signed a lucrative four-year extension with the Lions, valued at up to $212 million.
This deal not only underscores his value to the franchise but also ranks him among the highest-paid quarterbacks in the NFL. This financial commitment from the team signifies a strong vote of confidence in his abilities and role as a leader within the team.
This level of professional success and security seemed uncertain during the earlier phases of Goff and Harper’s relationship. Drafted first overall by the Rams in 2016, Goff experienced a turbulent journey with the team, culminating in a trade that sent him to Detroit in exchange for Matthew Stafford just ahead of the 2021 season.
While the Rams would go on to win the Super Bowl the following year, Goff faced a challenging debut season with the Lions, who finished with a 3-13-1 record, casting doubts about his future as a franchise quarterback.
However, defying expectations, Goff and the Lions showed remarkable improvement, culminating in a 9-8 finish in his second year and an impressive 12-5 record in 2023, leading them to the NFC Championship.
Over his tenure with Detroit, Goff has amassed 12,258 passing yards and 78 touchdowns, demonstrating his resilience and ability to lead a team through a rebuilding process to playoff contention.
As Jared Goff looks ahead to the 2024 NFL season, he does so not just with career momentum but also with a reinforced personal foundation. His marriage to Harper not only marks a personal milestone but also symbolizes stability and support as he continues to navigate the pressures and expectations of his NFL career.
With his personal and professional lives both in a strong place, Goff is poised for continued success both on and off the field.
