T.J. and Dani’s love story has been a cherished journey. The couple, who dated for six years, tied the knot in a beautiful ceremony in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, in July 2022. The intimate wedding was filled with picturesque ocean views, and guests were treated to a memorable evening, including a touching moment when the newlyweds shared their first dance. Their initials were elegantly projected in shadows at the outdoor venue, making the night even more magical.
Reflecting on their wedding day, Dani shared a heartfelt post on Instagram in 2022, expressing how she never imagined she would find someone who would make her want to change her last name. “When I was a little girl I never thought I’d find someone special enough to ever change my last name,” she wrote alongside a wedding photo. “But I found him and couldn’t be happier to share a name with the man of my dreams? Rhodes ?? Watt.”
T.J. is the youngest of the famous Watt brothers, all of whom have made their mark in the NFL. He’s already an uncle to his brother J.J.’s son, Koa James, born to J.J. and his wife, soccer pro Kealia Ohai Watt, on October 23, 2022. T.J.’s older brother Derek also has two sons: Logan James, born on February 17, 2019, and Brayden George Watt, who arrived on December 9, 2020, with his wife Gabriella Justin.
As T.J. and Dani prepare to welcome their first child, their growing family is eagerly anticipating the newest addition. The Watt family’s legacy continues to expand, and this new chapter in T.J. and Dani’s lives is sure to be filled with love, joy, and exciting adventures ahead.
