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.

Just like Jared Goff, Christen Harper has some steep career goals.

As for her relationship with Goff, she seems head over heels for the athlete. She confirmed their relationship in July 2019 when she posted a photo of the couple attending the ESPYS together and she's continued to flaunt their relationship on social media since. Harper gave us a look inside their romance in her October 2020 birthday tribute to Goff, writing on Instagram, "Happy birthday to my best friend, the person that makes me laugh the most and always inspires me to be the best version of myself! I love you so much @jaredgoff." It sounds like Goff might have found his cheerleader for life!

A match made in heaven! Christen Harper revealed that she and Jared Goff first met on the private dating app Raya. "It's so funny thinking that we met on a dating app, but I feel like these days it's so common," the model told Fox News in 2023. "And it's really like how you meet people." She added, "Who knows if I would've ever met him? So, I'm so happy that I went on that dating app five years ago." What's even more interesting was that she was the one who made the first move on Goff. "I actually sent the first message," Harper laughed. "So all you ladies out there, you better send the first message because you never know. You gotta shoot your shot. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take." Hear, hear!

In a video for Sports Illustrated in 2022, Harper admitted that she was not looking for love when she and Goff first met in 2018. "I had just gotten out of a long relationship and I was trying to stay single for a year," she explained. "Then I met him, and the rest is history." Admittedly, she also wasn't a huge fan of football when the two started dating. "My brother played hockey growing up. I knew about the Super Bowl, but I wasn't watching football on TV all the time," Harper said. "So now I feel like I know way too much."
