Drew Brees and Brittany Dudchenko
Drew Brees, the brilliant quarterback for the New Orleans Saints, met his wife in college. However, unlike the previous couples we’ve seen, this wasn’t love at first sight for Brittany. The pair attended Purdue University, and one night, while studying at a university bar, Brees approached Brittany after drinking too much, and she rejected him. Before you pass judgment, consider that it was his birthday, so what can a guy do? Brittany never disclosed his pickup line, but she simply stated that it was a “standard football player cheesy line.” Clearly, she didn’t like him.
On the other hand, Drew was persistent when it came to his love life; he wasn’t going to give up the lady who appeared as “the woman of his dreams” (in his opinion). Drew heard about a party Brittany might attend from a friend not long after their initial meeting, at which time he asked her out on a real date. The rest, as they say, is history. Since then, Brittany has been by his side through thick and thin, and she is even a part of his pre-game ritual for good luck: Brees never enters the field without talking to his wife on the phone.
