Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is widely regarded as one of the best coaches in the NFL, and he isn’t even 40 years old yet. Since winning Super Bowl LVI, McVay has been thrust into the limelight, with many fans wondering about his personal life.
Let’s examine McVay’s dating life and whether he’s married.
Meet Veronika Khomyn, Sean McVay’s Better Half
McVay is married to Veronika Khomyn, who was born on March 1, 1990, in Ukraine.
She immigrated to the United States in 2009, and she has lived in America ever since. She earned her bachelor’s degree in international business from George Mason University and her Master’s in global management from Arizona State University.
Prior to her move, Khomyn became a model at 18 years old. Her first gig was a commercial that she booked in Ukraine. She has since worked with BC Clubbing and UFC Gym, among others.
Khomyn boasts a significant following on Instagram. As of October 2024, Khomyn has over 82,000 followers, but her account is private. She is a licensed realtor, practicing in Los Angeles, having started down this career path in early 2021.
Khomyn and McVay met during his stint as an assistant coach for the Washington Commanders from 2011 to 2013. At that time, Khomyn was a college student.

McVay earned his first and only head coaching job with the Rams in 2017, becoming the youngest head coach in NFL history. Just a couple of years later, Khomyn announced that the two were engaged.
“The man of my dreams, my best friend and the love of my life asked me to marry him. And I said YES!!! to being his McBae forever. Here’s to our life together!” Khomyn posted on Instagram.
The couple got engaged in France in 2019, and then the power couple said their vows in a Beverly Hills wedding in June 2022.
That was a huge year for McVay, as it was also when he won his first Super Bowl ring, leading the Rams to a 23-30 win over the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI.
McVay and Khomyn have a son named Jordan John McVay, whom they welcomed on October 24, 2023. Jordan’s middle name is John to honor McVay’s grandfather: John McVay, who was a San Francisco 49ers executive. Jordan’s original due date was on the one-year anniversary of John’s passing, which McVay saw as a “pretty special” sign.
Rams vs. Vikings Game Preview
- Location: Glendale, Arizona; State Farm Field
- Time: 8 p.m. ET
- Channel: ABC, ESPN, ESPN+
McVay is trying to lead the Rams past the Minnesota Vikings in the Wild Cound Round of the NFL playoffs.
The winner of this game will travel to face the No. 2 seeded Philadelphia Eagles, who easily defeated the Green Bay Packers 22-10 in their Wild Card game.
With this being a neutral site game due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the Rams cannot rely on home-field advantage. Away from SoFi Stadium this year, the Rams are 5-3, and they did play once at State Farm Stadium back in Week 2 when they lost to the Arizona Cardinals, 41-10.
The Rams have been playing really great football lately, winning five straight before falling in a meaningless game against the Seattle Seahawks in the season finale, where key players earned much-needed rest.
The Vikings fell from potentially being the No. 1 overall seed to the No. 5 seed when they lost the season finale to the Lions. That game saw Minnesota’s offense stall in the red zone, settling for multiple field goals, as QB Sam Darnold had one of his worst outings of the year.
Pro Football Network’s OFF+ metric sees this as a top-15 matchup, and there could be potential for many points on Monday night. The Rams are ranked No. 11, and the Vikings are No. 13.
Kupp and Puka Nacua are elite wide receivers, so counting this team out is irresponsible.
This season, Kyren Williams helped Los Angeles’ offense rank seventh in rushing success rate. The respect Williams demands from opposing defenses has allowed the Rams to rank seventh in third-down avoidance. They constantly operate from ahead of the chains, a common trait of successful offenses.
The passing game hasn’t been the most consistent weekly, leading to a reasonably wide fluctuation in grades. The Rams have four top-five weekly finishes but also four weeks ranking 20th or worse. Still, with Nacua and Kupp healthy, Los Angeles’ upside gives it a fighting chance to win a playoff game for the first time since their Super Bowl 56 victory.
The Vikings have sometimes looked like an elite offensive unit, but several down weeks kept their final ranking outside the top 10. Darnold has affirmatively answered any questions about his ability to lead this team to Super Bowl contention, but Week 18 was a reminder that his floor remains very low.
One of Minnesota’s worst traits this season was the red-zone offense, where they finished 19th in touchdown rate. That reared its ugly head in the division-deciding loss to the Lions, where the Vikings had one success on 14 red-zone plays.
That was the worst red-zone success rate in a game over the last five seasons (min. 10 plays). The passing game finished 10th in success rate, which helped this unit overcome a fairly average rushing game (17th in success rate).
Head coach Kevin O’Connell’s willingness to seek out explosive plays on early downs has helped Darnold avoid difficult situations, as Minnesota avoided third downs at the fifth-highest rate of any offense.
Per Pro Football Network’s Playoff Predictor, with 10,000 simulations, the Rams are an underdog and given just a 43.8% chance of winning against the Vikings.
