Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence is one of the NFL’s highest-paid quarterbacks.
The former No. 1 overall pick has had his ups and downs, but has still solidified himself as the future of Jacksonville’s franchise. As Lawrence continues to take his game to the next level, there’s more and more attention on Jacksonville’s leader and his growing family.
Let’s take a look at Lawrence’s wife, Marissa, and all things surrounding their marriage.
Who Is Trevor Lawrence’s Wife, Marissa Lawrence?
Marissa Mowry started dating Lawrence at Cartersville High School in Georgia in 2016. While he excelled at Clemson University, she continued her education at nearby Anderson University, just a half-hour drive away.
Like Lawrence, Marissa was a collegiate athlete. She played women’s soccer for the Anderson University Trojans and notably played nine games during her sophomore season in 2018. According to her player profile, she majored in public relations.
Marissa and Trevor got engaged in July 2020 when he proposed on Clemson’s football field. Her acceptance marked yet another victory for him in Memorial Stadium, famously known as “Death Valley.”
They tied the knot in April 2021, just weeks before Lawrence was picked as the No. 1 overall selection by Jacksonville — two major milestones in quick succession.
The wedding was as elegant and posh as you would expect for such a high-profile couple. One detail that might draw some teasing from Lawrence’s teammates is that Marissa and Trevor’s favorite part of the day was their secretly planned last dance to ‘Anyone’ by Justin Bieber.
“Your love is the greatest gift I could ask for. It is patient, kind, considerate, understanding, silly, selfless, graceful… I can go on and on… You are the best husband and partner!” Marissa wrote on Instagram. “It’s you + me forever. Here’s to 80 more.”
On June 27, 2024, just days after Lawrence signed a five-year, $275 million contract extension, he and Marissa announced that they are expecting their first child.
