Christen Harper and Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff tied the knot on June 22 after five years of dating, and their newlywed love was on full display during the Lions’ season opener. As Detroit hosted the Los Angeles Rams in a thrilling primetime Sunday Night Football matchup, Harper, now Mrs. Goff, had a front-row seat with a sideline pass to support her husband.
During the game, an adorable moment between the two was caught on camera, capturing their affection for each other. The video, set to Morgan Wallen’s hit song “Had Me By Halftime,” perfectly encapsulated the tender moment between Harper and Goff, with the lyrics adding a special touch to the scene.
Goff and the Lions went on to win the hard-fought game against the Rams, edging them out in overtime with a 26-20 victory. Goff played a key role, finishing with 217 yards and a touchdown. After the game, Goff shared a classy moment with former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford, now with the Rams, in a display of sportsmanship between the two signal-callers.

Kelly Stafford, wife of Matthew Stafford, later admitted to US Weekly that she was a bit “jealous” of how the city of Detroit and the Lions have warmly embraced Harper, adding a lighthearted touch to the ongoing connection between the two quarterbacks and their families.
Earlier in the week, Harper, 31, shared a glimpse of her personal life with Goff on Instagram, posting photos of the couple relaxing at their Michigan home with their dog, Quincy. The pictures captured a more intimate side of their life off the field, showing the couple enjoying some downtime amidst the excitement of the NFL season.
While Goff may have secured the win on the field, it’s clear he’s winning off the field as well, with his new wife by his side. Harper, a successful model and actress, has been a constant source of support for Goff throughout his football career, and their bond continues to shine through both in the spotlight and in their personal lives.
