Though the NFL has 32 franchises, one of the hardest challenges they face is locking down a reliable quarterback. When a team lands a good one, it can feel like finding an oasis. That’s part of why Netflix’s Quarterback, which offers a look into the off-field lives of signal callers, has earned widespread attention.

For its second season, the series features Jared Goff, the starting quarterback of the Detroit Lions. As viewers get to know Jared more closely, many are curious about his wife. Here’s a look at what we know.

Jared’s wife is Christen Harper, a model and actress who’s been featured multiple times in Sports Illustrated’s swimsuit issue. In a Sports Illustrated video, Christen shared that she met Jared on Raya, the invite-only dating app used by celebrities and influencers.

At the time, Christen said she wasn’t trying to enter into anything serious.

“I wasn’t looking for a relationship then,” she recalled. “I had just ended a long-term relationship and was planning to be single for a year. Then I met Jared, and well, the rest is history.”

The couple got engaged in 2022 and tied the knot in June 2024. They probably met when Jared was still playing for the Rams, but they stayed together even after his move to Detroit.

In February 2025, Jared and Christen revealed that they were expecting their first child together.

“I’m really excited to become a father. I can’t wait to see [Christen] become a mom,” Goff told People magazine.

“I know he’s going to be such a great [dad], and I’m just excited we get to do this as a team,” Christen added.

As Quarterback highlights, this season is a major one for Jared beyond just family milestones. After leading the Lions to a 15-2 record before falling in the playoff opener, he faces major expectations. His subpar showing in that loss raised some doubts about his ceiling.

We’ll have to wait and see whether Jared can respond to the critics this season. But at the same time, he’s preparing for life as a new dad. Thanks to his NFL salary, he won’t have the same pressures most new parents face.

Still, it’s shaping up to be one of the most significant years of Jared’s life—no matter how his play unfolds. Hopefully, his winning streak continues both professionally and personally.
