Philadelphia is definitely for lovers when it comes to Eagles kicker Jake Elliott and his wife, Annie Elliott.
The twosome got married in March 2020, but their love story goes back to middle school. “I sure did out-kick my coverage … I’m the luckiest girl in the world!” Annie wrote via Instagram in June 2019 after Jake proposed. “Never give up on a middle school crush 🥰 #WeNeedAHashtag.”
Jake and Annie have known each other since their school days, but their relationship didn’t turn romantic until they were nearly at the end of college. After Jake signed with the Eagles in 2017, he and Annie began to build a life together in the City of Brotherly Love.
They welcomed their first baby, son Beau, in July 2023. Four months later, Annie’s friendship with Kylie Kelce brought her into the spotlight after she called Eagles center Jason Kelce’s wife “our national treasure” for her postgame packing tactic. (Kylie doesn’t fold her dirty clothes, she stuffs it all in the suitcase.)
Jake, meanwhile, made headlines that same month when he made an impressive 59-yard field goal that gave the Eagles a chance to beat the Buffalo Bills in overtime, which they did.
