THEE Jalen Hurts has popped the question to his gorgeous, super intelligent, extremely fabulous, hella accomplished partner Bryonna “Bry” Rivera Burrows.
We first saw that massive rock on Bry’s hand during the Eagles’ season opener in Brazil over a week ago, and tongues (and our feelings) started flying after that:
The twosome are college sweethearts who met at University of Alabama where Jalen was the star quarterback and member of Omega Psi Phi Fraternity, Inc. and Bry – who is an AI partner for IBM – was a star student who joined Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc.
Ever since the public became aware of their coupledom, we’re been ALL the way here for it. We love a bomb Black couple. But yes, our fantasies of marrying the fineness that is Jalen ourselves have been effectively dashed. *falls out Fantasia style*
Essence.com confirmed that the Philly Eagles QB popped the question recently and he dropped them the gorge pics from the engagement.
The pics show “…a romantic backdrop for the moment, including a violinist, candles, and red roses strewn about”.

Awww! Come on, Black Excellence!
Jalen also said in his May/June 2023 Essence cover story:
“I knew a long time ago,” he said. “I mean, to this point in my life, that’s an irreplaceable feeling. I think that’s what allowed us to get to where we are now.”
The twosome have looked happy in love every time they’re pictured together:
In other news, Jalen spoke recently at a press conference about the passing of Frankie Beverly, one of his favorite singers. He also went to the Farewell Tour in Philly this summer and gave Frankie his flowers on stage:
Sweet.
The Eagles are taking on the Falcons tonight for MNF in ATL, so it’s a great chance the future First Lady of the Eagles is front and center.
We wish him the best! Congrats to the couple!
