Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts has become a household name and one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL. After leading the Eagles to Super Bowl LIX and becoming a two-time Super Bowl champion, fans have grown increasingly curious about Hurts’ personal life. Let’s explore whether Hurts is married or engaged and learn about his partner.
Is Jalen Hurts Married?
Hurts is not married, but he is engaged to Bryonna “Bry” Burrows.
Hurts and Burrows started dating prior to Hurts’ NFL career. The couple have dated off and on since they met at University of Alabama, where Hurts was the team’s star quarterback (before transferring to Oklahoma) and Burrows earned her MBA at Alabama’s Manderson School of Business.
The couple made their relationship public in January 2023, after the Eagles won the NFC Championship Game over the San Francisco 49ers. Burrows joined Hurts on the field after the win to celebrate.
The couple is now engaged, as Burrows was spotted wearing a large diamond ring at the Eagles’ season opener against the Green Bay Packers in Brazil.

The ring prompted Eagles CB Darius Slay’s wife to post on X: “Omggg they’re engaged 😍😍😍.” One week later, Hurts and Burrows confirmed the engagement.
Hurts said that he’s known for a while that Burrows was the one.
“I knew a long time ago,” Hurts told ESSENCE about Burrows. “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.”
So, how did Hurts pop the question?
The couple shared photos with ESSENCE that show a violinist, candles, red roses, and a view of the ocean.
