AceShowbiz - Congratulations are in order for Jared Goff and Christen Harper! The Detroit Lions quarterback, 29, and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 31, tied the knot on June 22 in Ojai, California.
Goff, looking dapper in a black tuxedo, and Harper, stunning in a strapless white gown accessorized with a sheer long veil, exchanged vows in a picturesque outdoor ceremony surrounded by friends and family. Their dog, Quincy, also made a special appearance, adding an extra touch of warmth to the intimate occasion.
Goff and Harper's love story began in 2019 after they connected on the exclusive dating app Raya while Goff was still playing for the Los Angeles Rams. Harper revealed in a December 2022 video for Sports Illustrated, "I was truly not looking for anything at the time. I had just gotten out of a long relationship and I was trying to stay single for a year. Then I met him and the rest is history, baby."
Their bond grew stronger over the years, culminating in a beautiful, beachside proposal in Los Cabos, Mexico, in June 2022, with Harper gleefully writing on social media, "6.16.22 can't wait for forever with you."
Their wedding comes on the heels of significant moments in Goff's professional career. In May 2024, Goff signed a whopping $212 million, four-year contract extension with the Detroit Lions, including a $73 million signing bonus. "Blessed," Goff captioned an Instagram post announcing the news. "Fired up to continue to play for this city and the greatest fans in the world!"
Leading up to the wedding, Goff shared his excitement with PEOPLE in April, noting that the ceremony would take place in California, a location meaningful to both as Goff grew up there and Harper was born just outside of Los Angeles.
"It's been a long time coming, and now you can see it on the horizon, and I know she's excited," Goff said, adding, "I know she's doing a lot of the planning. I haven't been much involved and hopefully get back involved a little bit now, but it'll be really fun."
The celebration in Ojai was a testament to their journey together, a blend of devotion, personal milestones, and joyful togetherness. With their wedding now a cherished memory, fans can't wait to see what the future holds for this power couple.
