The ‘Power Couple’:

Burrows and Hurts’ relationship goes back to 2016 when their paths crossed at the University of Alabama. At the University of Alabama, Hurts served as the Crimson Tide’s starting quarterback for two seasons before transferring to Oklahoma during his senior year, eventually being drafted into the NFL.

The public became aware of Burrows and Hurts' relationship following the Eagles' NFC Championship victory in January 2023, when she joined him on the field to celebrate. Their engagement was confirmed when Burrows was spotted wearing a ring at an Eagles game in Brazil on September 6, 2024. Hurts proposed in an intimate beach setting, complete with a violinist, candles, and red roses.

However, the couple tries to keep their personal life private and hence keeps their public appearances limited.

After the Eagles’ Super Bowl win in February 2025, Burrows and Hurts celebrated on the field, capturing a widely circulated moment of affection. The couple continued their celebration by visiting Disney World the next day, enjoying the Tron Lightcycle Power Run roller coaster. Their relationship has been celebrated on social media, with many describing them as a “power couple” and highlighting their embodiment of “Black love.”
