The Truth About Jared Goff's Girlfriend, Christen Harper
With the NFL playoffs in full swing, all eyes are on the Lions quarterback Jared Goff and his smokeshow fiancée Christen Harper. The athlete and the swimsuit model were first linked together in January 2019, right before the Rams — the team Goff was with before being traded to the Lions in 2021 — took on the New England Patriots in the Super Bowl. "Jared is hiding her from everyone except some friends," a source told SportsGossip.com at the time.
"She was at the game last weekend but sat with the Whitworth clan and not his family and friends from home," the insider added, referring to offensive tackle Andrew Whitworth's inner circle. Harper later confirmed her romance with the quarterback when she arrived for Super Bowl LIII in Atlanta the following month. The beauty also shared several photos from the stands as she rocked Rams gear from head to toe, per New York Post, and Rams fans had fingers crossed she'd do the same in 2021.
