The countdown to Christen Harper’s wedding has officially kicked off, as the fiancée of Jared Goff jetted off to Mexico for her bachelorette party alongside her close friends. The couple, engaged since June 2022, hasn’t revealed the exact date of their wedding yet, but Harper wasted no time in celebrating her impending nuptials, basking under the sun with her companions by the poolside.
As the group landed in Cabo San Lucas, Harper and her friends sported white-and-red hats bearing the inscription ‘Christen’s Last Rodeo.’ Adding to the festive atmosphere, temporary tattoos featuring Goff’s face adorned with a sombrero were handed out.
Their accommodations didn’t fall short of festivity either, with a prominent balloon display spelling out ‘BRIDE’ welcoming the soon-to-be-married Harper. Decked out in a white veil beneath her hat, Harper savored a drink poolside, relishing in the pre-wedding bliss.
Goff and Harper’s love story officially began in February 2019 when Harper journeyed to Atlanta to support the Rams, then led by Goff, in Super Bowl LIII against the Patriots. Despite Goff’s subsequent trade to the Lions in 2021, the couple’s bond remained steadfast, transcending geographical distances.
At 30, Harper, a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, carved her path in the modeling world, initially delving into the industry during her college days to supplement her income. Goff, a year her junior at 29, found success on the football field, while Harper’s modeling career soared after her inclusion in Sports Illustrated’s 2021 swimsuit edition, marking her as one of the outlet’s promising talents.
Their serendipitous encounter on the celebrity dating app Raya in 2018 laid the foundation for their romance. Despite Harper’s initial reservations about a serious commitment, her first meeting with Goff, then the Rams’ quarterback, left an indelible impression, eventually culminating in Goff’s romantic beach proposal on June 16, 2022, with Harper proudly displaying her dazzling diamond ring on Instagram shortly thereafter.
For NFL players and their partners, the offseason, stretching from February to mid-July when training camp commences, often serves as the ideal window for tying the knot, marking a new chapter in their lives beyond the football field.
