Pittsburgh Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin is widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the NFL. Tomlin is a terrific leader who has the respect of his peers, and his track record speaks for itself. In addition to boasting a pair of Super Bowl rings (one as a head coach and one as an assistant), he’s never posted a losing record as an NFL head coach.
However, he wouldn’t be in this position today without his support system, which includes his wife, Kiya Tomlin. Here’s everything you need to know about the Tomlins.
Who Is Mike Tomlin’s Wife?
Kiya and Mike have been together since his early days as a coach.
The two met when they were both students at The College of William & Mary.
At the time, Tomlin was a starting wide receiver on the football team. He was a three-year starter and an All-Yankee Conference Second-Team selection in 1994. He finished his collegiate career with 101 receptions for 2,054 yards and 20 touchdown receptions.
Shortly after graduating, Tomlin made the transition to coaching. The couple got married in 1996 when he was a graduate assistant at the University of Memphis.
The couple have three children together: Dean, Mason, and Harlyn Quinn.
Kiya was born in Morristown, N.J., on Jan. 13, 1974. She initially went to William & Mary as a pre-med student but discovered a passion for the fashion industry and ultimately transferred to the University of Cincinnati to earn a degree in Design, Arts, and Architectural Planning.

Kiya has since found success as an entrepreneur and runs a fashion brand bearing her namesake with a store based in Etna, Pa.
According to her website, Tomlin’s “lifelong love of fashion, many years of creating custom clothing, and experience as a woman of many roles inspire her designs.”
The focus of her fashion line is “creating versatile, hand-sewn pieces made to fit and flatter women’s bodies and all the living they choose to do in them.”
Needless to say, Kiya and Mike have each found quite a bit of success in their respective careers across their more than 25 years of marriage.
Kiya has been by Mike’s side as he has climbed the coaching ranks, going from a graduate assistant to a two-time Super Bowl champion.
