As Philadelphia Eagles Jalen Hurts aims to win his second Super Bowl, his fiancée Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows will be cheering him on.

Burrows is extremely private, despite her husband-to-be being one of the most famous athletes in America. Here’s what to know about her:

Burrows studied political science and Spanish, and was a member of the Theta Sigma chapter of Alpha Kappa Alpha. At the same time, Hurts was playing for Alabama’s football team and was a member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc.

It’s unclear when exactly they began dating; Hurts played his final college football season for the University of Oklahoma, and was drafted by the Eagles in 2020. Burrows earned a master’s in Business Administration, also from the University of Alabama, in 2019.

Essence noted in 2023, “They’ve been dating off and on since their University of Alabama days, back when he was quarterbacking for the Crimson Tide. When the two made their romance public, after last season’s NFC Championship game, many Black women across the Internet simultaneously mourned the fact that Hurts was off the market and were giddy to see that a Black woman had won his heart.”

According to her LinkedIn (which has since been deleted), she was hired by IBM after she graduated. She works as an artificial intelligence partner for the tech company now.

“I knew a long time ago,” Hurts said of his feelings for Burrows in Essence’s May/June 2023 cover story. “I mean, to this point in my life, that’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.” They got engaged during summer 2024 (see photos here), and there are no details yet on when they might tie the knot.
