Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has captured the hearts of fans not just with his high-energy performances on the field, but also with his warm, approachable demeanor off of it. Equally captivating is his relationship with longtime girlfriend, Brooklyn Adams, who has been cheering him on since before his NFL days—even as the two juggle life in different states.
High School Beginnings
Amon-Ra and Brooklyn’s journey started back in high school. As sophomores, they found themselves paired together for an English assignment—an innocent project that would spark a lasting romance.
“We had a project and started talking then. By the end of my sophomore year, we started dating, and we’ve been together ever since,” Amon-Ra shared in the Netflix docuseries Receiver.

While Brooklyn pursues her nursing career in Orange County, California, she also maintains a robust TikTok following, boasting nearly 90,000 followers and over 1.7 million likes. Over the holiday season, she treated her fans to a glimpse of her time with Amon-Ra, posting a lighthearted video of the couple dancing to Naughty Boy’s “La la la” featuring Sam Smith.
Dressed in matching festive pajamas, Amon-Ra and Brooklyn swayed and laughed in perfect sync, offering a heartwarming glimpse into their downtime. Given Amon-Ra’s intense schedule with the Detroit Lions—who are currently making a strong push in the NFC playoff race—the couple often treasures these moments of easygoing fun.

Balancing Football and Nursing School
Life for the pair turned long-distance after Amon-Ra was selected in the NFL Draft and Brooklyn secured admission to a nursing program in Orange County. The physical separation poses challenges, but the couple remains committed to making their relationship work.
“She tries to come to as many games as she can,” Amon-Ra explained, noting that any time they can spend together feels especially meaningful.
Brooklyn’s presence at games, though limited by her demanding academic schedule, is a welcome source of moral support for the Lions wide receiver. Despite the distance, her dedication to both her studies and her partner’s passion continues to strengthen their bond.
Sharing Their Journey on Receiver
The Netflix docuseries Receiver delves into the lives of several NFL wideouts, including St. Brown. Both Amon-Ra and Brooklyn appeared in the series, discussing the realities of maintaining a long-distance relationship amid an NFL career and a rigorous nursing program.
Their openness highlights the trust and mutual respect they’ve built, illustrating how they keep each other grounded despite hectic schedules.
Looking Toward the Postseason
As the Lions lock down their spot as one of the top contenders in the NFC, there’s a growing sense of excitement for what the remainder of the season holds—on and off the field. Brooklyn will likely look to attend a few more games if her school commitments allow it, and fans of the couple will be hoping for more fun TikTok collabs (and maybe a few more matching outfits along the way).
With Amon-Ra St. Brown proving himself an integral part of the Lions’ offense, and Brooklyn Adams carving out her own path in nursing, these high school sweethearts continue to support each other’s ambitions.
And for fans, glimpses into their joyful, unfiltered moments—like this holiday dance—serve as a reminder that behind the intense competition of the NFL lies a world of friendships, family ties, and genuine human connections.
