Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is all about football, family, faith β and his wife, Tammy.
Andyβs relationship with Tammy traces back to the early days of his career when he was a football player at Brigham Young University. After meeting on campus, the couple began dating. By that summer, things were serious between the pair, and at the suggestion of Tammyβs father, Andy converted to Mormonism. A year later, Andy and Tammy were married in 1981.
Now, four decades and five children later, Andy and Tammy say theyβre just as in love as ever. Even when Andyβs team doesnβt win the big trophy, he still has his βtrophy wifeβ by his side. In fact, Andy admits that he still calls Tammy his girlfriend and tries to continually do special things for her.
Iβve been β¦ with her for about 40 years now,β he said in February 2020 after winning the Super Bowl with the Chiefs. βEvery day is a special day, Iβm telling ya. I call her my girlfriend for that reason. You never lose interest if you do that, right, you guys out there? Call them your girlfriend and you always do special things for them.β
Tammy has supported Andy through his entire professional coaching career, starting with his stint with the Green Bay Packers in 1992 all the way through his current gig as the Chiefs head coach, where he earned his third Super Bowl victory during the 2024 championship game.
βMaybe people donβt know this about me but Iβm a very positive person and I have the ultimate trust in Andrew as a coach,β Tammy explained in a Chiefs profile of Andy. βWeβve been through 38 years of coaching and so I never donβt think weβre going to win.β
