Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff tied the knot during the offseason with Christen Harper Goff, a prominent Sports Illustrated model.
The Lions’ star QB, Jared Goff, got married in the offseason to Christen Harper Goff, widely known for her work with Sports Illustrated. The couple is now preparing to welcome their first child together — a baby girl. It’s a thrilling period in Goff’s life, with both a new football season approaching and the joy of becoming a first-time father.
Christen Harper Goff has made several appearances in Sports Illustrated and is considered a veteran of the magazine. Even during her pregnancy, she didn’t shy away from the camera and was recently featured in the magazine’s latest edition.
Recently, Harper Goff shared a heartfelt personal update with the public.
So yes, the pair — whom I’ve personally interviewed — are now expecting their first child. Without a doubt, this marks an exciting new chapter for them.
On Saturday, June 21, Harper took to Instagram to post an update about their upcoming arrival. She uploaded several photos with Goff, including sweet moments where he gently held her baby bump.
“We’re just waiting for our girl,” she captioned the post.
Some of the photos appeared to be taken on a beach, and fans from Michigan are hoping it’s near the Great Lakes. “She’ll arrive when you least expect it — ready to make her big debut,” one fan commented. Another wrote, “Absolutely stunning,” while someone else added, “These photos capture such a beautiful love story.”
Harper Goff has been very open about her pregnancy journey and seems to be fully embracing it. Speaking on the May 11 episode of the “Sunday Sports Club” podcast, she reflected on her time shooting for Sports Illustrated while expecting.
“I was 18 weeks pregnant during the shoot,” she recalled. “It was such a strange stage — I couldn’t suck in anymore, but I also didn’t have a real bump to show yet.”
She went on to say, “I was bulking for the shoot, which was wild. It’s going to be special to look back at those images knowing she was there.” She also noted that it was the most difficult shoot yet because she was in a transitional stage: not feeling like herself, and without a visible bump to take pride in.
Since she was pregnant, she naturally had to avoid alcohol. “No margaritas while wearing a bikini,” she laughed. “It was such a strange in-between time, especially early on, when you’re just starting to recognize your body changing.”
They first revealed the pregnancy back in February at the 2025 NFL Honors in New Orleans. Harper held her tummy on the red carpet — a subtle but clear signal.
