Is Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton a married man? Who is the woman he married in 2022? How did he get a woman so far out of his league? We will answer all of these questions below (except maybe that last one).
Sean Payton Is a Married Man
You may find it hard to believe that Payton is a married man. After all, he talks to his starting QB like this and tells interviewer Kay Adams how much weight his players lost in the offseason.
However, it’s easier to believe a woman promised him forever after we see the incredible swag he demonstrated on the field when he cut his sleeves off mid-game.

That kind of rizz is the only reason we can think of that would attract a beautiful woman like Skylene Montgomery.
Who Is Skylene Montgomery?
Montgomery is a former beauty pageant competitor. She won Miss West Virginia in 2008 and represented the state in the 2009 Miss USA competition.
As a kid, the tomboy wasn’t all about the runway, though. She was an all-state volleyball and softball player, too. She is still dedicated to fitness, which puts her head coaching husband in a familiar place — watching athletic people work out around him.
Montgomery also earned her nursing degree from West Virginia University after getting her bachelor’s degree at Marshall University in exercise physiology. This woman dabbles in a little bit of everything!
How Did the Payton’s Meet?
The future lovebirds are said to have met at a New Orleans Saints game against the Carolina Panthers in North Carolina, where Ms. Montgomery’s southern sensibilities struck the head coach, a San Mateo, California, native.

The future Mrs. Payton had a friend who had an “in” on tickets for Panthers games, something she requested for him to cash in on.
The friend played the wingman hard for Payton, giving the former pageant winner the head coach’s direct line. Payton got tickets for Montgomery and chatted with her in the pre-game ceremony.

It’s not clear how the head coach wooed Montgomery into dating him, someone 20 years her senior, but life works in mysterious ways.
The couple became official in 2014, a year after Montgomery moved to The Big Easy to be a nurse as a gastrointestinal nurse for the Ochsner Medical Center.
What’s even more surprising was that Payton waited five years to pop the question, finally sealing the deal on their relationship with an engagement ring that, according to country singer Heidi Newfield, was “big enough to fry an egg on.”

The couple tied the knot in June of 2022. They had a resort wedding in Mexico. The location was situated on the Baja Peninsula along the Sea of Cortez.
This Isn’t Payton’s First Shot at Love

Payton filed for divorce with his wife of 20 years, Beth Shuey. The couple share two children, Megan and Connor, who were both adults by the time their parents gave love another shot. Shuey tied the knot in 2020 with her husband, Jamie McGuire.
It’s not clear if the Bounty Gate scandal was the catalyst or if the prospect of having to spend a year straight with her husband, who was suspended from coaching for the 2012 season, was the straw that broke Camel’s back, but Shuey was outie 5000.
We’re glad Coach Payton is in a happier place in his life now that he is coaching with the Broncos and married to Montgomery. Now, if it weren’t for that pesky Nathaniel Hackett situation last week…
