The Detroit Lions may be battling inconsistency on the field after tough losses to the Green Bay Packers and Philadelphia Eagles, but head coach Dan Campbell recently received uplifting personal news that has fans talking. While the Lions sit third in the NFC North, Campbell continues juggling head-coaching duties with offensive play-calling responsibilities. Yet away from football, a major family milestone has brought joy to the Campbell household.
Dan Campbell’s Wife Shares Big Family Announcement
Campbell’s wife, Holly Campbell, took to Instagram to share emotional news: their son, Cody Campbell, proposed to his longtime partner, Megan, at Ford Field.
Holly celebrated the moment with the caption:
“Overjoyed for Cody and Megan!!! Clan Campbell just got bigger and better!!!💙💙💙”
Her post featured a carousel of photos capturing the proposal inside the Lions’ home stadium. Both Cody and Megan keep their Instagram accounts private, but the moment still managed to spark major interest from Lions fans and the NFL community.
Who Is Cody Campbell?
Cody Campbell once followed in his father’s footsteps, playing college football as a tight end at Trinity University (Division III). Though his football career did not continue professionally, he graduated in 2022 and went on to pursue a Master’s in Business at the University of Michigan.
Dan and Holly also share a daughter, Piper Campbell, a former Detroit Country Day School volleyball player. Piper is very active on social media—especially on TikTok, where her account @piper__campbell has gained more than 10,100 followers who enjoy her Lions-themed content.
Fans Flood Social Media With Congratulations

Positive Momentum Off the Field as Lions Look Ahead
As the Campbell family celebrates this joyful milestone, Dan Campbell will aim to carry that positive energy into the Lions’ upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 14. With morale high at home, Detroit is hoping to regain momentum and bounce back into the playoff race.
