As the NFL season kicks off this week, Jared Goff’s wife, Christen Harper, is finding some time to relax and gear up to support her husband and the Detroit Lions. Harper, who tied the knot with Goff in June, is settling into her role as the ultimate cheerleader for her quarterback, who is coming off one of the best seasons of his career.
The couple, who have been together since 2019, celebrated their wedding in the picturesque setting of Ojai, California, earlier this summer. Their love story reached a new chapter with the beautiful ceremony, marking the start of what is expected to be a thrilling year both on and off the field.
Goff, 29, had an outstanding season last year, throwing for 4,575 yards, 30 touchdowns, and just 12 interceptions. His performance was instrumental in leading the Detroit Lions to the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers. With such a strong season behind him, expectations for Goff and the Lions have never been higher, bringing both excitement and pressure as they head into the new season.
To prepare for the upcoming challenges, Harper, 31, has been enjoying some downtime at their Michigan home. The couple, along with their dog Quincy, have been soaking in the peaceful atmosphere of their home, which offers a serene contrast to the hustle and bustle of Goff’s $10.5 million Manhattan Beach mansion in California. The photos Harper has shared from their Michigan retreat radiate a sense of calm, showing the couple enjoying the simple pleasures of life together before the NFL action heats up.

The couple appears to be embracing the Michigan lifestyle, trading in the glitz of Los Angeles for the more laid-back and nature-filled environment of the Midwest.
Harper, who has been part of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit family since 2021, has been a regular presence at Lions training camp, looking every bit as ready for the season as her husband. Her relaxed demeanor and athletic vibe even have some fans joking that she looks like she could step onto the field herself.
As Goff prepares to lead the Lions in their first game of the season against the Los Angeles Rams, Harper will undoubtedly be in the stands, cheering him on.
The couple’s strong bond and Harper’s unwavering support are sure to be a source of strength for Goff as he navigates what could be one of the most important seasons of his career.
