Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill recently married his fiancée Keeta Vaccaro. After a two-year engagement, the Dolphins star and Vaccaro tied the knot in November 2023, the athlete confirmed to reporters in a post-practice interview.
“I did get married to my longtime fiancée,” Hill said in a clip shared on X (formerly Twitter). “It was something we wanted to do over the bye week, and we did it … It feels good, man. I feel like everything that’s been happening to me has been for good reason.”
So who is Hill’s wife, and why did she recently go viral?
Tyreek Hill’s Wife
Hill and Vaccaro got engaged on July 4, 2021, at an Independence Day party.
The wide receiver spoke to TMZ after the proposal and said that he called his teammate Patrick Mahomes, who was engaged to his now-wife Brittany Mahomes at the time, and told him he was officially in the fiancé “club.”
“As soon as I did it, I called up my boy Pat, like, ‘I’m in the club now, man, I’m in the club!'” Hill said. “He was pretty fired up, he was pretty turned up by that.”
The decision to officially tie the knot was a spontaneous one.
“I was like, ‘Babe, we’ve been engaged so long, are you ready to tie the knot?’ It kind of caught her off guard,” Hill told reporters. “She didn’t believe me because we’ve been engaged ever since 2021. It was like, ‘OK, let’s go do it.’ She was like, ‘Show me you’re for real.’ And we did it.”
While Hill has been a key piece of the Dolphins’ offense, bringing in 79 receptions for 1,222 yards this season, Vaccaro has found success in her own career as she has built her brand, Own Flow, and an investment company.
In 2019, Vaccaro graduated from the University of Miami with a degree in entrepreneurship and marketing, per her LinkedIn.
Vaccaro has three siblings, including a twin sister, and her brother, Kenny Vaccaro, who was also in the NFL. Kenny was drafted by the New Orleans Saints after graduating from the University of Texas Austin in 2013 and played in the NFL for eight seasons before retiring in 2021.
Keeta used her entrepreneurship degree to create a fitness brand called Own Flow in August 2022. In January 2023, she ventured into a new business opportunity as the co-founder of Investaccess, which helps start-ups find investors.
The Nacho Spilling Incident
During the Dolphins’ 20-13 win over the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday, cameras caught Vaccaro in an interesting scenario. She and Tyreek’s mother, Anesha, were sitting in the crowd at Hard Rock Stadium when Vaccaro threw her arms up into the air in excitement after a play.

As her arms went over her head, they collided with somebody sitting behind her, which resulted in a plate of nachos pouring into her hair.

Fans took to social media to decide if Hill’s wife was at fault. The verdict? Overwhelmingly yes.
“Definitely on her. She reached her hand back and accidentally pulled it out of his hand,” one user said.
“Upon further review, the defender reached over her head and made contact with the nacho receiver which caused the altercation. It’s first down Nacho ball,” another user joked.
Later on, Hill said his wife made him watch Hard Knocks, which featured the incident, and confirmed that it was “definitely her fault.”
“She got back to the car, and she and my mom were like, ‘it was his fault’ the whole time,” Hill said. “I watched the thing, and I was like, ‘You hit it out of his hand’ … It was funny, though. Once I seen that on Hard Knocks, I was laughing my ass off.”
