Those who football together stay together. In that spirit, Jared Goff's fiancée, Christen Harper, was at last weekend's big playoff game to cheer Goff on to a victory. Harper showed up wearing an oversized Detroit Lions jacket on the field. After the big win, Goff ran up to her and gave her a big kiss in front of the entire stadium. How romantic is that? Seriously. I want to get kissed in front of thousands of football fans, because that's just too cute. What's more, Jared Goff's fiancée has posted a heartfelt tribute to Detroit.
First of all, if you somehow don't know, Harper is a Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. She met Goff out in California when he was with the Rams. What I really love about Harper is that when he got picked up by the Detroit Lions, she was all in. She quickly became a proud Michigander and posted lots of positive Michigan and Detroit content to her social channels. I see a lot of Detroit Lions fans commenting nice things to her on socials, too. For example, when she posted a happy birthday video for Goff a while back, someone commented, "He and his teammates really have lifted the spirits in Detroit and all of us are grateful." It's true.
So, after the win, Harper took to Instagram to post a video of Goff running over to hear and giving her a kiss after the victory over the Rams. She captioned it, "It was always Detroit 🤍." That's so beautiful. I love it. Harper, you rock, and I want to double date with you and Goff sometime! Watch the full video below. Also below, listen to the latest episode of my podcast, "The Squad with Anne Erickson," where we preview what's ahead in the playoffs for the Lions. We have to be on guard this weekend. The Bucs are on a winning streak, and we need to stop it. Reach out to me here.
The 2023 Swimsuit Issue is here. Of course, for Detroit Lions fans, a big name in here is Christen Harper, who is the fiancé of quarterback Jared Goff. This is her third year in the magazine, and she looks amazing, as always! It's great to see her getting this gig, because I have to say, I appreciate how supportive she's been of the Detroit Lions and Detroit, in general, ever since Goff became our man.
All in all, the 2023 Swimsuit Issue features 28 women, who were all picked for "not only for their inner and outer beauty, but also for the ways in which they use their voices and platforms for good," according to the magazine. Read on for 10 of those ladies. They all look lovely!
