Tony Romo and Candice Crawford
When she was still a fledgling journalist, his future wife asked him out on a date after he’d just been traded from the Dallas Cowboys. That’s why she was hesitant about him coming to her home for fear of making him feel uncomfortable. Romo was a perfect gentleman and took Crawford out to dinner and a film, as he always did when picking her up.
Their parents didn’t get to meet their hero that night, but fortunately for everyone involved, the date went off without a hitch, and two years later, the pair exchanged vows before a crowd of 600 people, including family and friends as well as coworkers from the NFL and other industries. The former relationships of the quarterback were with country singer Carrie Underwood and actress Jessica Simpson, so his connection with the news presenter, while intriguing, was kept on the down low.
