The Partners Of The Cincinnati Bengals

The 2022 Super Bowl has definitely thrust the Cincinnati Bengals into the spotlight, especially since it's the first time in over 30 years that the NFL team has made it to the Big Game. Many fans have watched as the team overcame several obstacles to make a major and unexpected comeback this season. With the squad dominating the gridiron as well as sports headlines, interest has piqued in the players themselves and their lives off the field. Of course, that includes the Bengals' romantic partners, who have been rooting for their loved ones since the beginning.  

Whether you're into sports or not, you've probably heard the term "WAGs," which stands for wives and girlfriends of sports stars. There was even a whole E! reality show on the topic, making it clear that people are interested in the women in the stands. Not only are these ladies usually their husband's or boyfriend's biggest fans and main support system, but they often have interesting lives of their own, through their careers or their roles in their families. 

When it comes to the Cincinnati Bengals, it's safe to say a lot of their roster are young, probably super busy, and therefore very single. However, quite a few of their players also have wives, fiancées, and girlfriends, with many being by their side way before they became Super Bowl-bound NFL superstars. With that said, let's get to know the partners of the Cincinnati Bengals.

When it comes to wide receiver Ja'Marr Chase's relationship status, it appears to be well ... complicated. As of February 2022, it's unknown if the Cincinnati Bengals star is single or not, but at one point he was linked to Instagram model Ambar Nicole. While it's unclear if the two are still together, by Nicole's account when they were, it came with some major drama.

During the summer of 2021, Nicole claimed on Instagram  that she was pregnant with Chase's baby. In a series of now-deleted Instagram stories (via Sportskeeda), she also accused the NFL player of being physically abusive toward her. She wrote, "Told myself I wouldn't put my business on the media anymore but!! ..." and then added "putting your hands on a pregnant female is lame af!!!," tagging Chase's account. She then posted a photo of what she implied was the back of him, writing "p****" over it. If that's not messy enough, Nicole previously told her followers that when it came to her pregnancy, Chase told her to take Plan B. She also claimed (via The U.S. Sun) that Chase still "slept with multiple women" when they were exclusive.

Nicole has since made her Instagram private, so there's no word on her pregnancy or her allegations. As for Chase, he never confirmed a relationship with Nicole. He did take to Twitter around the time of her claims to write, "these fake pages be killing me bruh," seemingly brushing off the whole thing as untrue.

Off the field, it seems Cincinnati Bengals player Trey Hendrickson is either praising the Lord or his wife. The defensive end has been married to Alisa Chernomashentsev since July 2020, after apparently only getting engaged a month earlier. From the looks of his Instagram, religion definitely plays a major role in the couple's lives, with Trey often including Bible verses in his captions.  

Of course, he uses his captions to gush about his wife too. In one post of them together, he wrote, "You're the light of my life and my better half. I wouldn't be the man I am today without you and we are just getting started." The NFL player has even credited his wife and their faith for his success in football. He told WAFB9, "Good things happen when you keep the faith ... You never doubt yourself. For one, everything I do, my wife is behind the scenes doing a great job supporting me. Together it's faith."

As for Alisa, her Instagram account is private. However, according to her visible bio, she is Russian and works as a pharmacist, with her handle even being @drhendrickson. She's also getting her Masters in Healthcare Informatics and will be finished with her studies in 2023. If that's not impressive enough, Alisa has a big heart too. She seems to do charity work, sharing a link for donations to the Ohio-based humanitarian aid and disaster relief organization, Matthew 25: Ministries, in her bio. 

It's safe to say that running back Samaje Perine's wife, Megan Perine, has been with him from the beginning since the two began dating back in high school (per FabWags.com). Megan even shared a selfie of them from around that time on her Instagram as part of the "10 year challenge." The two went on to attend the University of Oklahoma together and during that time, they got engaged. Their proposal involving magician Daniel Fernandez can still be watched on YouTube. 

The couple later tied the knot in 2017, and despite being together for years, appear to still be very smitten with each other, based on their Instagrams. The Cincinnati Bengal player has not only shared a photo of him kissing his wife from the field, but also called her "the most amazing wife, mom, and friend" in another post. As for Megan, she seems to be her husband's biggest fan, often sharing photos of her cheering him on or celebrating his wins.

The lovebirds also like to share images of their family, which includes daughter Landyn and son Major. Megan has been very open with her followers about how hard Samaje's job is on them when he's busy with training camp or away for the holidays.  Outside of being a mom and football fan, Megan writes that she likes "to make food" in her Instagram bio. She even linked to her food blog called "Touchdown Kitchen," where she shared recipes and stories about her life until 2018.

Linebacker Joe Bachie seems to be another Cincinnati Bengal who met his current love, Holly Bullough, in college. The two attended Michigan State University, and according to one of Bachie's Instagram posts, started dating sometime in 2017 after apparently meeting the year before. Since then, the two have seemingly been inseparable, spending Christmases and 4th of Julys together over the years. She's also joined him on family vacations, proving that they're quite serious! In July 2020, Bachie even revealed that he took Bullough to his hometown in Ohio, and later that year, implied that they had moved in together by calling her his "new roommate."

It's unclear where the couple lives, however, since according to Bullough's Instagram bio, she's based in Michigan. In 2021, he also wrote about missing her "a lot" when he's "down in Cincinnati," which of course is where he plays for the Bengals. Not much else is known about Bullough considering that her Instagram is private, but it appears from her bio she is somewhat of a foodie, writing "happyy until im hangryy." She also wrote that she had once created a fitness/food page.

While Bullough may prefer to fly under the radar, Bachie doesn't seem to mind gushing about their love. He not only admitted in a post that he was once "scared" to take a photo with her, but also about how she's his "rock." It sounds to us that a "rock" could be in Bullough's future! 

Like a lot of his teammates on the Cincinnati Bengals, Drew Sample also married his wife, Angelina Danylyuk Sample, before becoming an NFL star. The Seattle Times reports that the tight end and Angelina got hitched in 2018 when he was in his last year at the University of Washington and she was still a student at Seattle Pacific. Drew recalled, "It was nice ... We'd been dating for four years, and we both knew what we wanted," implying that they had met some time in high school. 

These days, the couple is far away from their native Washington and have seemed to make a home in Cincinnati with their two young daughters, Alivia and Savannah. Angelina often posts photos of their family on Instagram, as well as about life as a football mom. She makes it a point to gush about her husband too, writing in one post to him that "All the greatest moments are with you." She, of course, is super supportive of his career, frequently sharing photos of herself at his games, reaching out for his hand.

The mom-of-two also made it clear how proud she is of her husband in a 2022 Instagram post, writing, "I have loved watching Drew go from college to NFL and being part of something bigger ... He gives this his everything!! So deserving!" As for Drew, he's called Angelina his "beautiful and amazing wife" in a post, adding, "the girls and I are so lucky."
