“So many incredible women to thank”: Isaac Rochell’s wife Allison Kuch praises Taylor Swift for creating a more positive WAG narrative

Another celebrity that has come under attack by NFL fans is Taylor Swift as they feel she distracted Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce while playing. Some will also consider this a positive influence on football, for example Allison Kuch who is a 29-year-old content creator and wife of an NFL player, Isaac Rochell, who believes the term WAG has become far more positive recently.

The couple started dating in college and eloped in December 2020. Rochell has played for the Los Angeles Chargers, Indianapolis Colts, Cleveland Browns, and Las Vegas Raiders. Kuch says that since they began dating in college, the story about wives and girlfriends of athletes has changed for the better. Rochell was released by the Raiders in November 2023. According to Kuch, this is a source of pride.

Allison Kuch believes the term WAG has become far more positive recently

Allison Kuch, a content creator and wife of NFL player Isaac Rochell, believes the term "WAG" has become more positive in recent years. She believes the narrative around wives and girlfriends of professional football players is changing for the better. “I think women in and around sports are being uplifted more now, and we have so many incredible women to thank for that,” Kuch told PEOPLE exclusively.

“I mean, Taylor Swift, Simone Biles, Brittany Mahomes — these women are doing amazing things beyond just being a ‘wife’’” she added. “The narrative is moving in a much more positive direction, away from the old stereotype of, ‘Oh, you married him for his money,'" she says, adding, "I hope I’ve played a part in changing that as well.”

Rochell has found comfort in sharing his personal life on social media due to the positive WAG narrative. Despite facing criticism for posting about his relationship, and due to Swift's with Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, he now feels more comfortable sharing about his life outside of being an athlete. "I'm here for it," Rochell says of Kelce and Swift's blossoming romance.

He further added, "The Chiefs are undefeated right now, and Travis Kelce just had his best game of the season. Fans criticize me all the time for doing things outside of football, but then you see Travis, very present in pop culture, flying to New York during his bye week, being a great boyfriend, and still having an incredible football season with the best team in the NFL. It’s really refreshing to see. Taylor Swift is also a great representative of the awesome women that make up the NFL. She's sharp, she's legit."
