Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa has spent his career in the limelight. From his Pro Bowl stats to his frightening history with concussions, his mere presence on the football field has, at times, been polarizing.
But for as prolific as Tagovailoa, 26, has been on the field, he has not disclosed much about his personal life or his marriage to Annah Gore. In fact, the couple was already married for a year before the two even went Instagram official.
Tagovailoa and Gore have not publicly disclosed when or how they met, but reports indicate they met when they were in high school. Tagovailoa went to high school in his native Hawai’i from 2013 to 2017 while Gore studied in North Carolina. Both went to college at the University of Alabama.
Here’s a timeline of what we do know about Tagovailoa and Gore’s relationship, including when they married and welcomed their two kids, son Ace and daughter Maisey.
c. 2018 to 2022
Tagovailoa and Gore attended the University of Alabama together. Though the two weren’t yet public with their relationship, Gore posted a photo of herself supporting the Crimson Tide on gameday via her Instagram account in 2018.

Just days before training camp began in 2022, Tagovailoa and Gore tied the knot in a private ceremony in Davie, Florida.
“No girls for me I guess,” Tagovailoa said at camp once news of his marriage leaked. “That’s the perspective, but same focus — the season and what we got here at training camp.”
August 2022
Tagovailoa and Gore welcomed son Ace in August 2022. The quarterback credits Ace as one of the reasons why he’s stuck with football despite various injuries, saying he wants his son to be able to see him play.
“I mean, with my son, I always dreamed of playing as long as I could to where my son knew exactly what he was watching his dad do,” he told the media in 2023.
August 2, 2022
Days after Tagovailoa and Gore married, a reporter from Fox Sports leaked the news. Tagovailoa did not take kindly to his private life becoming public.
“I mean, for me, I love to keep my life as private as possible and that’s what we tried to do with me, my wife, and my daily,” he said. “But obviously in this world that’s not how it is. It’s almost kind of disrespectful by doing that but it is what it is. Can’t do anything about it. I have a wife.”
He added that the ceremony “was very special,” though he wasn’t sure how a reporter caught wind of it.
“I don’t know how it ended up leaking, but he must’ve been waiting outside the courthouse for an entire week or something,” he said.
2023
A year after Ace was born, Tagovailoa and Gore welcomed their second baby, daughter Maisey.
July 17, 2023
Tagovailoa and Gore acknowledged their relationship for the first time via Instagram on their one-year wedding anniversary, when Gore posted a photo of the two of them together.
“Happy first anniversary to my best friend and husband! I love you,” she captioned the post.

Annah shouted out Tua on the couple’s three-year anniversary, posting a photo carousel via Instagram with the caption “3 years, countless memories, and a forever to go. Happy anniversary, my love. 💕.”
March 2026
When the Dolphins announced their intention to release Tua, Annah congratulated him with a heartfelt Instagram tribute.
“I can’t put into words how proud the babies and I are of you,” Annah wrote in his comments. “Watching you do what you love brings us so much joy. You have the biggest heart and I am so blessed to be able to walk with you through this journey! You are the best husband to me and the most incredible dad to our sweet babies. I cannot wait to watch you in this next chapter and cannot wait to cheer you on! Go get em hunny I love you! ❤️”
